Excellent. Good for you. Please do let us know of the good Father’s response.
Social justice is rooted in the fantasy of collective salvation which only results in wholesale individual damnation.
In a world where the state takes care of everyone, all begin to feel that they’re doing their part and they stop doing anything and stop thinking about their own soul.
It brings to mind a story posted earlier about a woman in a wheelchair hit by 3 different cars and none of the drivers stopped. I doubt that any of the drivers wanted to kill someone but they were more concerned with saving their own skins. I further suspect that all comforted themselves with the belief that someone else would be along shortly to help the victim.
Another issue is the wishing of “peace” to all after the Lord’s Prayer. A noble intention, but true peace is only achieved by the defeat of evil.

It seems to me that the Church “gave up” with the death of Archbishop Fulton Sheen. They gave up on the “culture war” (also with Vatican II).
Whittaker Chambers (ex-KGB) wrote extensively on the war between Man v. God in the 50’s in the USA and knew of the insidious Marxist ideology being put into all the institutions—particularly schools, and media, to promote “secular humanism” in the worldview of children. The Catholic Church even recognized the infiltration into Christianity with “Liberation Theology”—that evil Marxist ideology of zero.
Tolerance of evil (and sin) is evil. By bending over backwards for sinners—and not condemning the sins, for the evil that they are and do-—the Church tried to become “popular” with the masses and especially wanted media to like them. It was a “wink, wink” to sin.
This “tolerance is a virtue” comes right out of Marx and moral relativism....and the idea that “tolerance is good” is EVIL. You NEVER tolerate evil.
As the great Bonhoeffer said,
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
That being said, I like the current direction of Archbishop Timothy Dolan and the Pope. There is a need for a reawakening.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
Evangelizing to the liberal Catholics is like trying to evangilize a protestant to catholicism. You literally have to sit them down, supply them with a reading list,make them read,
argue your points, stress your emphasis and then maybe after 3-6 months to 1 year you’ll have someone come around.
Writing letters to the USCCB what a colossal waste of time.
However the compositon of the USCCB will change to our favor in time..soon(and not a biblical ‘soon’).
Best to just plant a few seeds then move on. But as you move through life plant many seeds.
Protestant way of thinking, the culture, even historical bias(inventions), all ways of the devil, keep them from seeing the truth which is so cleverly hidden.Same with many liberal Catholics.
Very, very well said. I completely agree and think you expressed it exceedingly well. Periodically in my parish we run across this, and it deeply bothers me. I believe that those who spout the nonsense are perhaps well-intentioned, but that road is likewise well-known, isn’t it? To me, personally, it causes worry that those ill-equipped to discern the error inherent in those sorts of stuff will also fall into error.
Please, do let us know whatever, and whenever he replies.
Very good, pg. I do have one, perhaps a major quibble.
When you accept the language of the opposition, you’ve already surrendered, by accepting their assumptions and their starting point, their premise.
This language is here “social justice”! It is a propagandistic phrase, which, according to Thomas Sowell, can mean anything the speaker wants it to mean. Aren’t we all, left, right, Communist or Nazi for “social justice”?! Raise your hand if you are for “social injustice”, thank you.
Read Thomas Sowell’s musings on cosmic justice, which is what the Left and their sympathizers are atempting to achieve.
Hope I'm wrong about that expected response.
