War is not the answer. Communism will never be defeated by the use of atomic bombs or nuclear weapons.

I say, this afternoon, that we cannot solve this problem by turning to Communism. Communism is based on an ethical relativism and a metaphysical materialism that no Christian can accept.

Everyone can see how communism rots the soul of a nation. How it makes it abject in peace and proves it abominable in war.

Under Communism, the individual soul is shackled by the chains of conformity; his spirit is bound by the manacles of party allegiance. He is stripped of both conscience and reason.

The trouble with Communism is that it has neither a theology nor a Christology; therefore it emerges with a mixed-up anthropology. Confused about God, it is also confused about man.

Cold atheism wrapped in the garments of materialism, Communism provides no place for God or Christ.
