Marxists have used the Catholic Church as a tool for ushering in their social revolution. The Church has always maintained, we are our brother’s keepers–Isn’t this the line the Left uses to send religious people on a guilt trip? While the Left has pulled the Church close to its bosom, they have at the same time slapped the Church in the face with policies of deconstruction of the family, advocacy for abortion and euthanasia, and support for gay marriage.
In addition, the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) have joined the Left in opposing enforcement of laws regarding illegal aliens, and requesting major immigration reform to include amnesty. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), one of the main advocacy arms of Mexican immigrants, legal or not, desires amnesty as an antidote to deportation of millions of undocumented people already living in the U.S.
On June 4, MALDEF, the ACLU, and several other leftist civil rights organizations filed a law suit against SB1070 that “seeks to halt implementation of the law while the case is litigated.” The Arizona law SB 1070 slated to go into effect on July 29 simply enforces the existing federal law on illegal aliens.
SEIU launched its own attack in a boycott campaign called “It Stops in Arizona.”
Arizona has polarized our nation and given license to a racist, anti-immigrant underbelly that has no place in this country and this law must stop in Arizona.

If you are able, that is.

Marxists use YOUR wealth to become the keeper, not their own. There is no spirit or works or faith involved.
The USA RC church and USCCB have been infiltrated a long time ago.
In the endtimes churches will worship Marx/whatever watermelons come up with for global mandatory thought. It will be the opposite of God.
should have read:
“Will the Church Worship Christ or Self?”
Ping!
This is why I didn’t leave the church, the church left me.
It’s always amazing to see a philosophy that murdered over 100 million children of God, claiming to be the rightful heirs of Jesus’ legacy.
Liberals hijack things.
It’s because they can’t actually create things.
VERY good point!
They are more like social cancer.
Do not be fooled.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiachThe Roman "church" committed spiritual adultery in 325CE at Nicea.
Those who are "called out" by YHvH are the Ekklesia.
Ping!
It’s HIS Church and you are needed to pray for it and to help it as the Holy Spirit purifies it.
I’m sorry to see that David Horowitz is as anti-Catholic as many of the foaming-at-the-mouth posters here.
There’s nothing wrong with being your brother’s keeper; the Catholic Church was responsible for the development of everything from hospitals to schools, primarily through the work of saints who realized they actually were responsible for people around them and that Our Lord expected this.
However, there’s a big difference between that and having the State share out other people’s money, which is what Marxism is all about. There are some nutty leftwing bishops - although I submit that most of them are nowhere near as radical as the National Council of Churches or other Marxist Protestant groups - but in general the Church has always been in an adversarial relationship with the State. This was what Henry VIII, Calvin and a number of other Protestants didn’t like: they either wanted the Church and the State to be one, or if they were separate, they wanted the State to be in charge.
A vast amount of what you take for granted in the society around you today, the things that have enhanced life for all (such as hospitals, schools, independent activity by women, etc.) are the result of the activities of the Catholic Church and her saints over the millenia.
It’s because they can’t actually create things.
This may be part of the truth but it is a small part.
They corrupt from with in those institutions that they see as obstructions to their gaining power.
After infiltrating an organization they corrupt the language and there by the philosophy of that organization.
After infiltrating the RCC being your brothers keeper went from being personal charity to being state sponsored redistribution of wealth (social welfare).
The RCC is a minor part of this infiltration program. IMO the most dangerous parts are the infiltration of Bar and the institutions of higher learning.
The temptation to let politics creep into the church’s message is a permanent temptation that has to be resisted.
Preach Christ. Leave politics outside the door so far as is possible.
As for the human disaster represented by the wave of souls fleeing Mexico as it implodes, there is your mission field, its right there in your face. If the church wants to get involved in the human tragedy represented by the 20 million illegals, focus on the moral underpinnings of the crisis, help the people who are being sent back to get reestablished, and evangelize Mexico like there is no tomorrow. If one of the richest oil producers on earth can’t sustain its own populace, something is very wrong.
And how can the church address this crisis? The same way it always does. Help the individuals as best you can, and preach Christ.
