Silly, Stupid, or Subversive? America's Catholic Church

 This damning essay by Cliff Kincaid popped up today, and it complements a discussion we are having with a friend about Communism.

 The socialists are taking over the Democratic Party but they are already in firm control of the American branch of the Roman Catholic Church, which gave us “Obamacare,” the bankrupt health care scheme, and is now promoting open borders and LGBTQ ideology....

...I attended a local church in the Washington D.C. area on Sunday and heard prayerful “intentions” for the victims of “climate change-inducing” wildfires and Haitians being “forced” to return to Haiti. Both claims are part of the “progressive” playbook and designed to undermine the America First policies of the Trump Administration.

In the church bookstore I found a book, “A Home for All: A Catholic Call for LGBTQ Non-Discrimination.” The book’s back cover features an endorsement from retired Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit, who revealed that a priest molested him in the 1940s when he was a 15-year-old seminary student....

... A September 25-27 “pilgrimage” will seek “to bring together LGBTQ Catholics, allies and those who minister to them both in New York City and abroad” by praying at “important LGBTQ sites,” such as the Stonewall National Monument, the scene of anti-police riots at a Mafia-run gay bar....

The silly(?) stupid(?) subversive(?) claims about "climate" and "refugees" undermine science and common sense, respectively.  Kincaid reminds us that the Communist government of Haiti came to be in 1986.  That was Clinton-era, and we'll bet a dollar that it was the Deep State/CIA that fomented the revolution making that happen.  (Knowing Hillary, that meant that the new Government of Haiti lined the Clinton Foundation's Hillary's pockets with millions of dollars.)

The Archdiocese in question is run by +Joseph Lori, who has a reputation as a 'moderate,' in contrast to, say, Cdl. "Cupcake" Cupich of Chicago or the horrible, terrible, disaster called +McElroy in D.C.

Kincaid also reminds us that the Church officially tolerates the most pro-homosex Jesuit in the world.

...A September 25-27 “pilgrimage” will seek “to bring together LGBTQ Catholics, allies and those who minister to them both in New York City and abroad” by praying at “important LGBTQ sites,” such as the Stonewall National Monument, the scene of anti-police riots at a Mafia-run gay bar. ...

To get around to that email convo with a pal......

Following the latest outburst of Communism (the DSA) in Wisconsin and nationally, we mentioned that in the Good Old Days--only a half-dozen decades ago--the Catholic Church was unalterably opposed to Communism, and often said so.  The most articulate opponent was Bp. Fulton Sheen, but popular reading materials, priests, and Catholic childrens' books were filled with anti-Commie materials.  There was a very good reason for that:  Communism is atheistic.  Period.  Full stop.  All the other evils of Communism, including its Statist penchant for mass murder, flow from that foundation.  

Maybe it's just co-incidence, but a few events happening at more-or-less the same time drew down the curtain on the Church's anti-Communism.  + Jos. Bernardin (of Windswept House fame) became the CEO of the United States Catholic Conference.  Vatican II happened.  And LBJ signed legislation which--arguably--prevented churches from preaching about "politics."  (The legislation is totes un-Constitutional and flat-out ignored by "progressive" denominations, but....)

My pal and I remembered the work of Fr. Cletus Healy, SJ, who published thousands of tracts on the evil that is Communism (The Truth About Communism) and was shunned by nearly every other Jesuit for his trouble; in effect, he was a hermit within his own community. 

Clearly, the Church was off the rails, and needs a good kick in the ass from the Faithful.  Write your Bishop and let him know that it's about damn time for his priests to blow the smoke of Satan out of the Church. 

Your children will thank you for it.
