“a network of progressive Christians”
Marxists.
Liberation theology nonsense.
You got it! “They prate of Jesus, but mean Marx.”
re: progressive Christians
Uh oh. Nothing good can come from this.
IMHO, every admonition Christ had for taking care of problems were spoken to individuals, not governments. Same for the Apostle Paul. He wrote lots and lots about taking care of the poor and the sick, but every word of it was directed at the Church and individual Christians.
