This woman is talking about how her kids are bringing home Social Justice teachings at the catholic school ... I'm sure other faiths are too ...
Social Justice is code words for “ignoring Church teaching.” And was the excuse to vote for Obama.
“Social Justice” is an arm of liberation theology, promoted by “some Catholics”. It is NOT the teaching of Rome!
This irritates me no end. The folks pluck a hunk of theology quite out of any rational context, and end up looking a lot like Karl Marx.
http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p3s1c2a3.htm
It certainly is a teaching of the church...just not the way it is distorted by many.
Lots of interesting links:
Yep, it’s Karl Marx, lying in a manger.
The Catholic Church is still in the process of sorting out all the faggots who have soiled the priesthood over the past 30 years, and they brought their leftist b.s. in the process, as was the plan. So this crap lingers. The backlash on all this is going to be rather interesting.
The lady told Flap Jackson in the Morning this Morning that the school isn’t going to be using the “social justice” org. next year, right?
Freegards
Glenn Beck, as an ex-Catholic Mormon, is hardly an unbiased source on any issue connected with the Catholic church, or any other Christian church for that matter.
I begin with the disclaimer that I’m NOT a Roman Catholic so you can ascribe whatever motives you please to me...
but whatever might be meant by this is “not the teaching of Rome” this nonsense does NOT stop at the walls of the Vatican. Perhaps popes have personally avoided it for the most part, but they hardly seem to care about the blathering of some of the cardinals. General papal addresses are NOT going to do the trick here. Culprits, some at a very high level, are going to have to be CALLED OUT.
It was a caller who was saying this, not Glenn, she has her kids in a catholic church
I grew up Methodist.
Now it may as well call itself the United Church of Gaia.
My kids get this crap at their temple... I spoke to the Rabbi about it and we had a very heated discussion. Needless to say, I am very well known now at the Temple... I even get stares from office people...
Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008
In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obamas pastor in a heated interview about his Churchs teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004
In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Kind of a sore point eh. Well if it’s any consolation I don’t buy the theology of Beck’s church either. But the RCC acts like it is quite benumbed.
Ping for later
Apostasy...it’s everywhere.
JP II managed to keep the Social Justice, Red Vestment and Habit crowd under control (since he had personal experience of what happens to the Church under Communism) Benedict appears to have taken his eye off the ball there. They are crawling out from under all the rocks.
Good find ETL! You always have the info! :)
Sadly this is not just the Catholic church. This has infested every denomination.
Religion has been corrupted and has become a complete joke. They are winning.

#27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion.
The lefties, gaia worshiping humanists and the ‘social justice’ seeking leaders are the main reasons why I refuse to attend mass.
I’ll just pray in my home with my rosary beeds.
For a worldwide organization, there is an incredible amount of shall we say variance from parish to parish
On the south side of town the parish might be fully orthodox and traditional and on the north side of town might be all slap happy and socialist. It's weird that way.
Me too. Couldn't stand the festering rot that goes for doctrine so we left for a chuch that believes scripture is a firm foundation and not a circumstatial sliding scale.
WRONG. It is an official part of the church teachings as espoused by the American conference of catholic bishops. Go to their web site and look for yourself.
The bible church where I go sticks to Christian theology in context. It’s never grafted out to some worldly agenda. The word of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, is respected as a light to the world, not a showcase for a piece of the world to bask in.
It wasn’t always that way.
apostacy
Social justice is neither social nor just.
Here it comes. Should be interesting.
It’s more like (at best) the (earthly) guy at the center of Rome isn’t doing much about it. Hello, this is now the 21st century and we have the telegraph, telephone, television, and even the internet. The center of the church doesn’t have to just hope and pray the arms are getting it right. If I were the pope (lol) I would think I would be furious about this.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]
(some key excerpts)
["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]
JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.
I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."
REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."
SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

"Obama did not address the [Rev Wright] issue squarely until forced to justify his relationship with Wright, his pastor at Trinity United Church in Chicago, for over 20 years. In a speech several weeks ago, Obama denounced Wrights comments but justified them by saying that America didnt really know Wright. Obamas connection to the pastor runs deep, as he titled his second book, The Audacity of Hope, after a sermon Wright gave. Wright also baptized Obama and his children as well as performing the marriage ceremony of Michelle and Barack Obama."

You can’t fine ONE conservative church to attend?
>>Benedict appears to have taken his eye off the ball there.<<
Actually B16 is too busy cleaning up the mess JPII left.
He is smacking down the Lavendar Mafia and all the crap JPII ignored.
If he lives long enough, he’ll get to the social justice crowd. I pray he starts with Mahoney.
Maybe this IS too big for one fellow to possibly address.
That’s what I like about the herd of cats Southern Baptist model. Size doesn’t get in the way of keeping the congregation straight.
>>The lefties, gaia worshiping humanists and the social justice seeking leaders are the main reasons why I refuse to attend mass.<<
I used to be right with you.
Then I found my parish. Things are changing. At my parish, no handholding, no dancing or gladhanding, no “for the children” crap.
Check out Mass times and look for a parish with Adoration. They will be liturgically correct.
I’m a member of a Catholic Church here in Houston, same church I made my 1st Communion in. Even as a child I remember these priest saying....”you need to donate more money, we are not getting enough to help the poor, how awful we were for not helping more, etc.” Today 45 years later, we still hear the same thing. The Catholic Church has always been about redistribution of wealth....we just thought we were helping the poor people. Hey, and I got no problem of giving somebody a helping hand. But at some point people need to take responsiblity for themselves. Of course today, a great portion of the people that this Church is helping are also in this country illegally.
>>Maybe this IS too big for one fellow to possibly address.<<
Nothing is too big for Jesus Christ.
Benedict answers to him.
Social Justice is short for “how can I get someone else to do the charity that I should do personally”.
My grandmother was the church organist from the time she was 12 years old. She left when they moved her out of sight and only let her play one or two hymns per month.
Now they have drums, electric guitars and crap like that. She says its like a bad talent show.
That in turn rests on the assumption that the RCC structure is how Jesus desired (rather than permitted) the overall church to be managed. The trivial equation status_quo = status_quo doesn’t tell you anything.
>>Today 45 years later, we still hear the same thing. <<
The good thing is, it’s optional. You don’t have to give a thing. That’s not really redistributing, when one can opt out.
Our parish handles it differently. All our charity goes to a Parish in Tanzania. They say Holy Mass under a tree. They have a school and a seminary, but no water or power (a broken down building) in either.
We are actively sending money to them. Our Youth Group is going to visit next year. There are seven men in the seminary right now.
When a parishioner has a problem, we have a fundraiser.
And do the Christmas and Easter charities, optional, that go to an Unwed mom’s home and crisis pregnancy center.
