>>I welcome them, but do not trust them to take the lead. Yet.
That was my point. I’ll stand with them, but they haven’t earned the right to lead America in a conservative Christian revolution.
Exactly who has? Or rather which church has? My church is a member church of the S.B.C. and just like the Catholic church we have people in high places who are liberal and we have people who are conservative. The Christian church, whether Catholic or other, should be unified and speak with one voice against evil but at least in recent history that has not been the case.
Jesus will show us the cure for evil when He returns, until that time we, as individuals have to fight this fight on a personal, individual level, not counting on our separate, ununified churchs, as institutions, to back us.
I’m glad you “welcome” [Catholics] to what—YOUR battle against the government’s assault on the First Amendment?
Think they’re earning the right to “take the lead” in Syria and other mid-east and African locales?
Did they earn the right in Mexico during the first quarter of the last century?
But in America? I’m not sure, but they might have “earned” the right to lead when they were hanged or burned alive by the “Christian” KKK for two decades.
Are many self-proclaimed Catholics also liberals? You can bet your life. And that certainly bolsters your argument. Problem is that no other Christian group has a triple-A American Conservative Rating either; but the fact that the official leadership of the Catholic Church HAS TAKEN THIS ISSUE ON ITSELF is all the proof necessary of their “right” to lead. Not to mention the fact that this CONSERVATIVE battle couldn’t even be waged if the Catholic Church weren’t the largest private supplier of healthcare and (Christian) charity outside the U. S. government.
