Catholics like Santorum often push Catholic charities for government socialist program funding. It’s a bad idea. The government will control the church through this error - not the other way around. You would think Santorum would have figured this out with socialized medicine. First thing Obama does when he gets the power is order the church to give women morning after abortion pills....
Rick is a social justice kinda guy. He does not see the consequences.
Such things are not inevitable. Where the Church has been remiss is not understanding who they are dealing with. Fear of communism and dislike of Roman authority blinded many German clergymen to the nature of the Nazi movement. Both Rome and the German Church also under-estimated Hitler because of his low social origins. Many American Catholics overestimated Obama. Because of his smooth manners, they thought him honest.
