Are you a "common good" Catholic?
Catholics United ^ | 03/19/10 | Jennifer M. Kuznicki

Posted on 03/19/2010 4:50:15 AM PDT by jenk

In Michigan's First District, pro-health care reform commercials are running on television and radio. Every other commercial is about how wonderful healthcare reform is. Bart Stupak is the representative of the First District.

Catholics United has a commercial that stresses that there is no abortion in the health care reform proposal.

It is getting extremely hard to keep a cool head these days.

"Beginning today, Catholics United will run television ads intended to set the record straight about false allegations of federal abortion funding in the Senate health care bill. The 30-second spots will remind undecided pro-life legislators and their constitutes that taxpayer funding of abortion is expressly prohibited in pending health care legislation, and that the bill has earned the support of a broad swath of the Catholic community."

On the side bar of the website, a question is posed, "What's not Catholic about Community Organizing."

In the 20th Century, the RC Church tended to support fascism over communism

The concentration camps and murders of priests and nuns indicate otherwise. The Church has been persecuted by fascism, from Mussolini to Mexico to Hitler to Chavez. Twentieth-century fascists, being socialists, can't stand the idea of an authority greater than the government.

The Communists described Franco, a serious Catholic, as a fascist, but that was because he let the Nazis bomb Soviet positions in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. When Hitler came looking for favors in return, Franco blew him off.

Although they claim 933 Facebook “friends,” “Catholics United” only lists ten, so that is as far as my survey can go.

A so-called Facebook "friend" is more likely a curious hanger-on.

Oh geez, it's not "50,000 nuns."

It's another case of "A lie can run all the way around the world while the Truth is still tying its shoes"---


USCCB News Release

March 18, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Clarification

Washington—A recent letter from Network, a social justice lobby of sisters, grossly overstated whom they represent in a letter to Congress that was also released to media.

Network’s letter, about health care reform, was signed by a few dozen people, and despite what Network said, they do not come anywhere near representing 59,000 American sisters.

The letter had 55 signatories, some individuals, some groups of three to five persons. One endorser signed twice.

There are 793 religious communities in the United States.

The math is clear. Network is far off the mark.

Did you ever notice that there is more demon-activity in the short space of the Four Gospels than there is in the whole rest of the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament combined?

Do you notice where the demons are attacking now?

Do you wonder why?

The “common good” is GOD’S DOMAIN.

Humans have no business attempting to “promote the common good” as that is infringing on the divine, in vain, obviously.

This is why REALITY (ie, God’s created rules and reflected will) favors free markets and individuals making their own decisions within their realm of expertise - ie, their own lives. Preferably these decisions are made prayerfully and with knowledge of God’s will as revealed in His Word.

The time is short,

though I’d hesitate in “eminetizing the eschaton”...

Don’t know about the exchaton, but the Obamaton is pretty imminent.
