Not a catholic but I think this is one of the most profound statements regarding the radical two kingdom notion of evangelical Christianity. The LORD made us citizens of both kingdoms of this world (give unto Caesar, etc) and his Kingdom. Clearly the kingdom of God is primary but we are also tasked as members of the worldly kingdom to be involved in the betterment of our brothers and sisters. Good on the bishop.

It is atheist, communist redistribution of rights.

And I for one have been paying attention since they started infiltrating the organized church in the 1980s - especially through music programs and church choirs.

Ultimately correct: His kingdom is not of this world.

As long as Christians keep turning their seemingly unending supply of other cheeks, the left will be more than glad to slap them.

TIME FOR A CRUSADE!

“BTW - I believe America’s time is long over - but God will do what He will, when He will.”

Isn’t there something in the bible about God helping those who help themselves?

I saw it too. 2001 was our exit year - and though we never thought it would happen, we’re glad we made the move to Idaho.

Sheeps to the slaughter comes to mind. Christ called them sheeps because sheeps are gentle but pretty dum in fact.
