The Church and the New Left
First Things ^ | July 9, 2017 | Bevil Bramwell

In common with many other countries, the Catholic Church in America today is closely intertwined with the major party on the left. In my religious congregation, for example, the U.S. Province is 60 to 80 percent Democrat. This is also the case in other religious orders and many whole dioceses. People caught up in this mixing of worlds have to flip back and forth between Catholic concepts and Democrat ideology as they go through the day. Unfortunately, many bishops do not show them anything better.

My parish is Vietnamese language and, of course, mostly the families of Vietnamese expatriates. The congregation and the priest and previous priests have been quite conservative in the religious and the political sense. The Diocese is more liberal and pro “immigrant” i.e. illegal immigrants but they don’t understand Vietnamese and ignore us except the bishop always likes to visit, I think mainly for the dinner he gets.

you can not be a democrat and a real Christian.....the two do not mix.
Everything that the democrats believe in and teach is anti- Christian.

So please..... the true church has nothing to do with the democrat party.

The pope has kissed the Koran.......a book that hates Christians and murders them.

This pope has washed a heathen mooslims feet......

Christ washed the believers feet.

This pope is an anti-Christ.........one of many... and the cult that believes he was chosen by God to lead the so called church is part of the end time apostate religion.

read your Bible and trust its words not any so called traditional BS.... that can not ever be equal to the Word of God.

Praise God for the reformation!!!!!!

The left is built entirely on atheism. It’s completely incompatible with Christianity.
