Abstract

This paper attempts an approach to the apparent tension that exists between the concept of private property raised by Thomas More in Utopia (1516) and that developed by the Catholic Magisterium. Likewise, we will review what is proposed by Liberation Theology, who claim to overcome this opposition and reconcile faith and Marxism.
