Helping out the Liberals
Why are practicing Catholics so willing to help out liberals? Barack Obama received plenty of Catholic votes for some reason. Pro-abortion “Catholic” politicians are repeatedly re-elected to office. Clergy whose teachings are against the Church are not removed from the ambo. So I ask again: Why do some practicing Catholics continually support people who are clearly against the commandments of God?
One thing I do not want to hear is rationalization. The simple fact is that nothing trumps the spilling of innocent blood. I don’t care if the economy is bad. I don’t care if unemployment is up. I don’t care if you can’t pay your mortgage. CHILDREN ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED EVERY DAY! What will it take for the faithful to wake up and say with one voice “No more”? We need to start living our faith instead of talking about it.
You know, we had a visiting priest at our parish recently. He is a Jesuit who plays fast and loose with the Word of God. He changes the pronouns in the Gospels to gender-neutral pronouns; He says that purgatory is only a state of mind; He preaches a “personal” God who can be mother, father, or lover. After Mass last weekend one of my fellow parishioners confronted him on the issue of purgatory. He told the priest that he shouldn’t preach things that are contradictory to Church teaching. This act of faithfulness to the Word of God is awesome and necessary. So my question is this: Why can’t we take our attitude from the Church to life? We can’t live by two different sets of values. I pray to God that we can be Catholic outside of the church as well as inside it.
Things are only going to get worse in the next few years. The liberals are in power and we need to step it up. What’s the worst that will happen to us if we take a stand? Will we be unpopular? Maybe. Will we be chastised? Certainly. Will we be called dirty names? God willing. Make no mistake about it: Satan will match our efforts with increased ferocity. We have to stand strong and be faithful to God. We need to pray for those who do not heed the Word of God so that they won’t be condemned to the eternal flames.
God Bless.
