What are you basing that on? It’s my understanding that the Jerusalem Church was effectively a communist society (which is why it eventually faded into obscurity while Rome, who took a 10% tithe from everyone, persists to this day)
Christian communism was based on the concept of koinonia, which means common or shared life, which was not an economic doctrine but an expression of agape love.[5] It was the voluntary sharing of goods amongst the community.[6] Acts 4:35 records that in the early Christian Church in Jerusalem "[n]o one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but shared everything in common."
Was it some (relatively) recent proclamation by the RCC or something?
Ah, found this:
Yes, according to the Catholic Church, any Catholic who professes the tenets of atheistic communism commits a sin and is subject to excommunication, as defined by the Decree Against Communism issued in 1949 by the Holy Office and Pope Pius XII.
Interesting, in the same document they start with:
A theory that makes profit the exclusive norm and ultimate end of economic activity is morally unacceptable. The disordered desire for money cannot but produce perverse effects. It is one of the causes of the many conflicts which disturb the social order.
