"In many respects, democratic socialism was and is close to Catholic social doctrine."
And therein lies its greatest danger. Socialism can appear to provide a well-intentioned solution to life's problems, but what seems at first benevolent soon metamorphosises into the moral free-for-all we see before us. It is a consequence of replacing a divine Authority with a merely human one, more particularly the authority of every Tom, Dick or Harry, and 'whatever you feel like yourself'. - DeGaulle
