As a Catholic myself I will say it:
The Church is very Left-wing. Very Marxist in orientation.
Every time I hear the words “social justice” I know these are code words for Marxism and Socialism.
Our current Pope Che, like the Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, is openly socialistic and shows nothing but hatred and contempt for free market capitalism.
This is our Church unfortunately. We need to face facts. It is far from perfect and certainly not infallible. It has made huge mistakes and the current Pope is one of its biggest mistakes IMHO.
God help us.
My Church has taken a very disturbing and visible left turn in just the past couple of years.
At first I was very disturbed when they did not openly and vigorously oppose Obama’s re-election after he had basically declared war on us with the birth control mandate in Obamacare.
Then we elected a Pope who is clearly an Argentine Peronist Marxist and environmental extremist, who is willing to shovel out his own personal political views as Biblically-authenticated Church doctrine.
And now they are barely whispering their opposition to the gay marriage ruling and continued funding of Planned Parenthood.
Attendance and enthusiasm are palpably declining as a result. I suspect they want Hispanics legalized in order to replace the rest of us in the pews. And in the collection baskets.
Dear Trapped - Like the Pope Che moniker. I totally agree. It is face-palm time for us Catholics. Missing Pope Benedict XVI so very much right now. At a marriage retreat recently, one of our good Carmelite priests said, “When the 60s generation of priests retires, THEN the church will right itself once again.” Too True.

The story of Bella Dodd
““In the 1930’s, we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within. The idea was for these men to be ordained, and then climb the ladder of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops”.”
