I would tell said bishops: 1. worry more about Emperor Obama forcing the Church to pay for abortions, sex changes, contraceptives, etc. and 2. show me where in the Bible it says a nation must go into insurmountable debt for programs that don’t help anyone.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Unfortunately, the bishops, like most theologians, receive little training in economics.

The idea that spending “govt” money to help the poor is counterproductive, is counterintuitive, especially for clerics who haven’t spent much time working in govt or business.

With regard to public policy, my otherwise good priest is ruled by emotion.

Still, there are many encyclicals condemning Modernism, Socialism and Communism that the priests should be familiar with.

[PGR88]

And how exactly does bankruptcy and financial collapse of the nation help the poor?

Dear Catholic Bishops

Socialism doesn’t help the poor.

Sincerely

Boehner did not mention another option to help reduce the deficit - raising taxes,(sic)

Most of the Bishops along with this socialist reporter Thomas Ferraro, need to take and successfully pass a decent course in economics preferably taught by either Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams.
