communistic. All your monasteries and convents are. There are religious communities like the Amish, Mennonites and some Quakers that are still communistic. Even the Mormon Church started out with a foot in that commune type of living where the idea of tithing came about to not only fund churches and temples but to help out the poor and desperate in their community. Unfortunately, the business types took over and they are not so charitable any more.
