A great deal of the “Social Justice” teachings that have become so prevalent in “churches” in this country originated in the Catholic church.
And nothing that has come out of Rome in the last decades has done anything to ease my mind that the Catholic Church will be the primary part of the “one world religion” that is depicted in prophecy. In fact, the ecumenical movement is probably the clearest sign yet of that fulfillment coming.
He also told Moses to tell them to not steal or covet. Did you forget that, Rabbi? The instructions to feed the hungry and clothe the poor are to individuals, free to choose to obey or not. When one has government take from the rich and distribute to the poor, not only do you take the free will from that person, you also take the blessings that the person would have received from their freely giving. You also instill a sense of entitlement to the person receiving the largesse because it comes from government or society instead of an individual or group of volunteers. Taking care of our neighbors is a good thing and something we are instructed to do, but not by force. Jesus stands at the door and knocks. He does not kick it down with a SWAT team, shoot your dog and steal your soul.
What!?
....Until there is a new revolution or civil war.
So when I grew up going to Catholic school and we prayed every day on our knees for the conversion of Communist Russia,that really didn’t mean anything.
When we learned about the horrors of Communism and Nazism...
Why is it different now? Huh?
Biggirl — when one trolls the internet looking for anything that says “Catholic bad”, the articles can be utterly false and hilarious... Mostly we just ignore the fool who wrote the article
