The point of the quoted words was not that you need to be spiritually redeeded, but that Marx's idea of redemption didn't work because his view of humans was wrong.
> We simply need to accept our fate, as they did in the classical age, before the Socratic faith in knowledge and the Christian concept of redemption combined to form the modern idea of progress and the belief in the infinite malleability of human nature. It is not true that people simply accepted their fates prior to the invention of Greek philosophy and Christianity.
First of all, the Christian theological vision of redemption incorporates a much broader view of humanity than one individual's salvation from damnation, it shares much in common with the Marxist view of the end of history in that it also puts hope on a stable everlasting peace and prosperity, where the "lion will lay down with the lamb". I'm not advocating for Christian theology at all, but it would be foolish not to see the Universalist connections between Marxism and Christianity, they both have a vision for the "end of history". So even if the Pope weren't engaging Marx on his own terms here, speaking plainly of a Materialist redemption, which it appears he is doing, his Christian theology would presuppose a good deal of shared understanding in Marx's hope for Utopia.
