I wonder if it is time for American Catholics to petition the Vatican to task the Holy Office and the Dominican Order of Dominicans with coming to the United States, on an extended mission to challenge the heterodoxies that have evolved in the Americas.
That is, an instructional mission to distinguish church doctrines from the morass of everything from secular corruptions to outright heresies.
Working from North to South, first to confront the “social Catholics”, who no longer embrace the faith, but use the pretense for ulterior motives. Then those Catholic institutions that endorse anti-Catholic instruction and groups.
Into Mexico and the Caribbean, there are the Santa Muerte cultists casting about confusion and doubt, and those nations where Catholicism has been blended into the local pagan religions. In Cuba and Venezuela, the Russian Orthodox church is being invited in, to challenge the Catholic church.
Further South the people are tormented by socialism, once again, and their faith disparaged. No doubt there will be a resurgence of Liberation Theology, leftists encouraging revolution that will be blamed on the church, if they are unchallenged.
Why the Dominican Order and not other orders? Thanks for the response.
Last week, the priest told me that he didn't have the right to tell anyone how to vote. From the pulpit.

I would love to see that. We need a cleansing tide, indeed.
