I have long believed that what commonly passes as "libertarianism" is incompatible with Catholic morals. I may be wrong, but one of their main tenets is that "man is his/her own". No. While man is not property of the State, he/she is that of God.
Read this article as some "food for thought".
It is true that Ayn Rand's philosphy is incompatible with Christianity. However it is also incompatible with other strands of libertarianism. The "Non-aggression principle" is important to most libertarians currently in the national conversation. Some of Ayn Rand's disciples are quite militaristic.
