I’m glad you “welcome” [Catholics] to what—YOUR battle against the government’s assault on the First Amendment?
Think they’re earning the right to “take the lead” in Syria and other mid-east and African locales?
Did they earn the right in Mexico during the first quarter of the last century?
But in America? I’m not sure, but they might have “earned” the right to lead when they were hanged or burned alive by the “Christian” KKK for two decades.
Are many self-proclaimed Catholics also liberals? You can bet your life. And that certainly bolsters your argument. Problem is that no other Christian group has a triple-A American Conservative Rating either; but the fact that the official leadership of the Catholic Church HAS TAKEN THIS ISSUE ON ITSELF is all the proof necessary of their “right” to lead. Not to mention the fact that this CONSERVATIVE battle couldn’t even be waged if the Catholic Church weren’t the largest private supplier of healthcare and (Christian) charity outside the U. S. government.

Very good. Thank you for posting this.
LOL I recognized the thought pattern. The first instinct or reaction is all too often (for all of us) to not make waves hoping to fly under the radar. It has however come time for all to stand and make a statement or lose it all. Just this past Saturday we had an organizational meeting of what is to become a national organization of hobby farmers. I had made a comment to my wife that perhaps it would be better to not organize as it may bring attention and harassment by big uncle. We looked at each other and realized that we had just commented that we should be lemmings and decided that to organize and stand was what was needed. If we dont stand now we may not get another chance.

That is my ONLY argument. I’m not talking about last century or foreign countries. I was talking about America 2008, when a majority of Catholics voted for a man with no past other than a history of being in favor of communism, an admitted drug user, a murky muslim childhood, and 20 years in a racist church where he never heard anything. But, he promised to feed the children and lower the oceans and they fell for it. They wanted to feel good by voting for the black man.
Well, the old story about the fox and the snake comes to mind and you got bit! But don’t feel alone. The Jews got bit pretty bad too..and the women...and the blacks. The only winners from the Obama regime are bankers, homosexuals, illegal immigrants, and muslims. And if the RCC can convince the government to exempt them from the regulations, then your leadership won’t care about the “assault on the First Amendment” anymore and a large percentage of you will vote to re-elect the muslim/marxist wannabee-dictator in November.
There are battles for souls, then there are battles for principles here and now.
Each soul has an eternal destiny. This takes priority over our finite world.
That said, we’re called to be lights in the world, salt of the earth, etc. Christ was angered, and saddened, by evil. He acted against it by teaching the truth, living an exemplary life and calling people to the spiritual over the material.
He allowed himself to be sacrificed in order to address the personal sin and eternal destiny issues.
The Founders took Biblical principles and used them to establish a nation.
It isn’t the kingdom of God...that’s seperate...but let’s not forget that scripture says, “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”.
Thank you.
