Maybe Cardinal George should have spent more time in front of the Most Holy Eucharist years ago.

Maybe I should be spending more time in front of the Eucharist daily, myself [instead of on the Internet].

The Archdiocese of Atlanta has a Eucharistic Adoration program that has blossomed on its own without the Archbishop being the driving force supporting it.

Sometimes priests and bishops get bogged down by things to spend enough time in prayer.

There is a shortage of priests.

And Satan does enjoy going after our priests and other good souls in the church...

Notice this line of questioning. It is motivated by Marxist redistributionist thinking. It is what I see as a dangerous element working its way into the Catholic Church in the form of social justice theology:

“So, isn’t it really the employer’s responsibility to see that his employees get a living wage?” The Cardinal, perhaps not prepared for an intellectual battle on this subject, appeared perturbed.

“Although the Church does teach that a worker is entitled to a just wage, it does not provide models as to how this should take place. Do you change the laws in our government? Do you change the economic structure of your company? Or should society provide the ‘safety net’ for families whose income isn’t enough to meet their basic needs?”

“That’s all fine, but I’m saying a Catholic owner of a company shouldn’t be considered a Catholic if he owns several homes, when he has full-time employees who can’t afford a place to live.”

Notice Cardinal George’s response:

“Many Catholics would be shocked to hear you say that,” George said, not yet tipping his hat as to whether he agreed with me or not.

I think he was being guarded; not to let the cat out of the bag as to his real political thinking.
