Maybe I learned it when the King of France appointed the French Popes..
Maybe how Reagen working with the Pope and church to end communism or how the church and government help in WWII and through the French revolution.
Is your point that the church in its 1,000 of years of history is not connected - both good and bad.
My point was power always tries to keep the people down no matter who it is.
Nearly 2,000 years, Einstein, or, is that really you, Cliff?
“The Vatican expressed the hope that “this most important recognition will ultimately encourage such a difficult but fundamental commitment for the future of humanity, so that it might bring the expected results.”
The “expected results” are evident when one considers that Pope Benedict, the leader of 1.2 billion Catholics, had endorsed a “World Political Authority,” a form of world government, in his recent encyclical “Caritas in Veritate.””
The “expected results are documented in advance in the books of Daniel and Revelation, and include the Antichrist, the Beast and the False Prophet ruling the world.
You are right. I have confronted the assistant pastor in the church parking lot after Mass just once for advocating some socialist crap from the pulpit. (It was several years ago and I can't remember the specific topic). He tried to defend his position but finally jumped in his car and left. I don't care if he is a priest, I will confront a socialist advocate. If this is official church policy, I would leave the church. Unlike 0bama.

Well, I hear outrage and mudslinging, where is the refutation of the points of the article?
Kincaid may be anti Roman Catholic, that does not mean his information is incorrect, mere outrage is cheap paint trying to cover over a hole in the wall.
As for myself, I can somewhat believe it, the RCC always prefers order and from such frameworks seeks to help the poor via govt largesse.
How quickly some forget that a retired Jesuit from Brazil was almost elected Pontiff over Cardinal Ratzinger.
“Cliffy is just another anti-catholic bigot masquerading as a journalist.”
Is it possible to say anything but praise for the Catholic Church without being called a bigot?
The official line that I've heard in church for the last month is that the "health care" bill doesn't do enough for poor and illegal immigrants and of course they don't like abortion in it.
Not by some people. They don't like the truth. Want to see the official Catholic line? Go to the American Conf of Catholic Bishops' web site and look under "Social Justice". Right from Marx.
What is the difference between the Pope and the Archbishop of Canturbury? You supply the answer.
Seems yelling "bigot" is the popular MO among Catholics who are criticized these days, at least on FR. When I compared the practice to what Maxine Waters and the far left does I was then called a racist!
Exactly.
This is being misrepresented, do not trust a progress(liberal) to tell you what is in the print media. Globalization, he said, “is an opportunity to create a network of understanding and solidarity among peoples, without reducing everything to merely commercial or pragmatic exchanges He is against the public option. His words are being taken out of context to make a pretext.
Trust we will as Rush clean up this mess
“The American Conference of Catholic Bishops’ web site reads like it was written by Marx and Lenin .”
The Roman Catholic Church has been infiltrated by Humanist,Liberation Theology spouting leftists.
Rumor has it that the third Fatima secret had nothing to do with Pope John Paul II’s assassination attempt but rather the internal collapse of the Roman Catholic Church by the communists and their supporters.
Shortstop: Don’t care much for baseball but will give my Amen to your comments about the aroma of this article.
About 4 - maybe 500, miles.
Socialists all!
Sorry - I forgot to print the question to my answer.
“What is the difference between the Pope and the Archbishop of Canturbury? You supply the answer.”
About 600 plus miles. Why?
