The overall issue is that the Church should stop meddling in purely secular affairs. The Church's primary concern is the SPIRITUAL welfare of the world, not the MATERIAL.

Furthermore, some of what these bishops and the Dem party advocate border on being spiritually demaging. If a man cannot reasonably make a living for himself and his family due to over taxation and the like, that is unjust.

Secular affairs need to be governed by the natural law.

They may also decide the remember this:
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and...all these other things will be added unto you...

Those who are spiritually healthy seem to also be materially sound. Is there a connection? Hmmmmm....
Could it be that the Dems anti-family policies (social and economic) just create more social injustice?
