What liberal “Catholics” have done is replace government and themselves for God. The social justice types may even have good intentions but they are pushing themselves and their ideas as solutions to every ill in the world rather than God’s.
They seek Utopia on earth rather than actually, actively seeking God.
I know nothing in Yeshua’s mission that said He expected His followers to build “heaven on Earth”, to simply be delivered to Him when he comes!!!; as if His presence on Earth was not needed.
The idea is outrageous.
Human’s are not capable of it and they only create tyranny when they attempt it.
Does that mean human’s should NOT live Christian lives, themselves, and in their private associations and philanthropic endeavors express Christian charity to others? No. But, Christian charity is not socialism. The heart of socialism is to take from others to do what YOU deem benevolent. The heart of Christian charity is completely about giving, and taking from others, especially by secular power, has nothing to do with giving.
“What liberal “Catholics” have done is replace government and themselves for God.”
As with political, social, and economic leftism, theological leftism is of and from Satan. It all goes back to, “You shall be as gods.”
