“Excessive intervention by the state can threaten personal freedom and initiative.”
In your defense, many Catholics are also very confused on this issue because of mixed messages put out my Catholic Charities and other organizations in the church.
However, the teaching of the church is very clear, and we all need to do a better job of following that teaching.
Thanks for the link. It was informative and my first thought was of the infiltration of the Church by less than savory forces around the world. Communists in Europe and Marxists in Latin America to undermine the foundations of the Church.
