Catholic Charities is one of the most thoroughly evil organizations in this country. I am not surprised to read of its close connection with the whole gay agenda as it shares the gays’ purpose to remake America into something its bishops apparently prefer to what is here now. In the Northeast, Catholic Charities has been in the forefront of the relocation of thousand and thousands of Somali Mohammedans into smallish communities, collecting millions in federal “refugee” money and then handing the bill to support these subhumans to the local communities. When anyone complains, local Catholic priests and nuns in pantsuits show up screaming about hate crimes and demanding prosecutions of people who are simply exercising their free speech rights. The bishops back them 100%. In one northern city, the mayor, whom some say is brain dead, is convinced if he panders to every desire of the Mohammedans, he’ll “get a bigger mansion in heaven” because the bishop told him so.
I have never fully understood why people get so wound up about Catholic theology, but I do understand how they can get so incensed by the actions of that Church here in America.
There’s an excellent new book by Phil Lawler, The Faithful Departed. It’s about the collapse of the Church in Boston. He points out that the seeds of this were planted even before Vatican II, when the successive bishops of Boston began to regard the policies of the Democratic Party as being on the same level as the deposit of Faith. They did this for practical reasons, the material advantages of being in with the in-crowd, since the Dems completely ruled Boston and many of them were of Irish descent and therefore Catholic to begin with. It was a natural progression in the faithless minds of the bishops (such as Cardinal Cushing, mouthpiece of the Dems).
I think we’re simply seeing this on a grand, national scale now. What happened at Vatican II was that the bishops took the bit between their teeth - and Rome, which had weakened its own authority for various misguided reasons, was unable to do anything about it. The question now, as many US and European bishops become more and more rebellious every day, is what Rome will be able to do about it.
