God be with these French priests in power, who are surrounded by ravenous wolves, as Jesus was on His way to the Cross. Socialists have always paraded as right by might, despising the faith and always, always bent on the destruction of the great Church.
We here in the US have few bishops calling for much of anything more than the perfunctory, so it’s a certainty we shall be diminished also.
This will be our greatest Cross when it does come.
The Catholic church has seemingly never had a problem with supporting the power of the State when it comes to redistribution. I am unaware of a single prominent Catholic priest who opposed confiscation of property by the government at the point of a gun to fund “universal health care” (”for the poor”).
The Catholic church chose to lie down with rabid dogs. Now they are being bitten, not to mention the fleas.
Spain pulled this same stunt with Zapatero. The socialists run on expanding government and then immediately attack the social structure.
The Spanish protected:
It didn’t matter.
