[Mrs. Don-o]

I've got a long-time, respected, valued friend who works for the Maryland Catholic Conference on exactly these kinds of issues. I have tried to tell him that these solutions are neither particularly Catholic nor particularly effective. Together with ObamaCare insurance costs and legalizing ton of illegal immigrants, raising the Minimum Wage is going to bankrupt small employers and put a lot of lowest-rung employees out of work.

I can see this as clear as daylight. Why doesn't my intelligent, honest friend see this?

The Catholic Church is, aside from the administration of the sacraments and its non-political charitable activities, a scourge on this country.

As the government moved to fiat money—not a word from “the bishops.”

As taxes, inflation, and costly regulations have destroyed the stay-at-home Mom—not a word from “the bishops.”

As a fascist dictatorship takes hold in Washington—not a word from “the bishops.”

As Nancy Pelosi receives the Margaret Sanger award—not a word from “the bishops”—except for lies about canon law from Cardinal Wuerl. Ted Kennedy LITERALLY SCREAMED (on many occasions) for the blood of 57 million (so far) innocent babies, and had a Cardinal presiding at his gaudy celebrity funeral.

“The bishops” spent several years devising a stupid, Communist-friendly “peace pastoral.” They turned immediately to a stupid, socialistic “economics pastoral.”

Then we found out that 66% of the bishops took active measures for decades, and spent billions, to shield about 4% of priests from the consequences of molesting young males.

Now “the bishops” are campaigning to import 50 million or more pro-abortion voters.

I view my own Church as an enemy of the American People and their Constitution. My own Church is MY ENEMY.

Who appointed this Conga line of weirdos and miscreants? A succession of “saintly” Popes.

Because your friend is not so intelligent and is intellectually dishonest.

He knows nothing about economics, yet deals with economics every day. He thinks that, because economics is about human activity, it is about good intentions. In lefty circles, “economic law” is a term to be scoffed at, as an expression of pure materialism, as fundamentally anti-Christian. Read the incoherent, poisonous ravings of Rupert Ederer to see what I mean. All that is needed is government power exercised with good intentions to produce justice and plenty.

The Catholic Church in America is a handmaiden of government and the Democrat party. Note that Bishop Madden was flanked by TWO PRO-ABORTION POLITICIANS in a Catholic Church as he called for more black youth unemployment.
