- Abstract
The aim of this study is to make a critical but primarily comparative analysis of the Catholic faith and Marxist thought in the context of the political manifestations of the individual, society and the state. The first focus of the study is the Catholic Christianity belief and the fundamental teachings of clergy/ philosopher such as Saint Augustine, Saint Paulus, Salisbury’s John and Thomas Aquinas, who produced their theories within this belief system. Another crucial point is Marxist internationalism, without overlooking the importance of the integrity of Marxist thought, but in order not to detach from the context of the study. The similarities between these two seemingly unrelated phenomena will constitute the main route of the study. On the other hand, the differences will also be addressed at the conceptual level. As a result of the study, with the claim that Catholic Christianity is open to everyone regardless of nationality in its divine discourse, the similarities such as Marxism's rebuttal of nationalism, the ideal of a universal divine empire (state of god) and internationalist communism based on faith, the ideal of equality of all people, reaching a final conclusion of a linear and progressive understanding of history, being the main basis of justice for the legitimacy of the rebellion, similarities such as the approach transforming individualism emerged in the form of free will into socialism with the call for unity have been reached. On the other hand, it is inevitable that there are differences in comparing a belief system and a worldview due to ontological reasons. In this context, besides the aforementioned similarities, it has also been observed that there are divergences regarding the human nature, the divine law/humanmade law dichotomy, regime and the origin of the state.
