In his consideration of these predominant religious forces, Martin Cyril D’Arcy agrees emphatically on this point with such figures as Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who wrote: “Whatever then may have been the possibilities of a concord between the new Christian society and the earthly society, a covenant of peace and fruitfulness, they were ended at the Crucifixion.” Elaborating upon this central theme, D’Arcy carefully constructs a philosophical comparison of the two systems of Communism and Christianity, treating each with fairness and inviting independent judgment upon which offers the true vision of human life and destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommunism and Christianity have, therefore, both of them the interest of society and of the world at heart, and they stand over against one another pledged to different means and to different ideals. They have been called rival religions, but this is to abuse words, and it is better to speak of rival faiths. \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMartin Cyril D'Arcy, S.J.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eD’Arcy aims to compare and contrast “as fairly as possible the views which Marx first propagated, views developed and held as sacrosanct by his followers” with “the Christian view of man and history” and its development in the West. The goal, ultimately, of \u003ci\u003eCommunism and Christianity\u003c\/i\u003e is to illuminate clearly and compellingly such commonalities as might exist between the two systems, as well as such changes to the substance and spirit of human life that Communism inevitably entails, over and against the truth of the Gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* * *\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Cyril D’Arcy, S.J., \u003c\/b\u003e(1888–1976) was a Catholic priest and philosopher.
