Then why hasn`t the pope formally renounced liberalism? Why are so many priests allowed to preach it? Why does the Church tolerate homo-priests, or child molesters? The list goes on, but as long as the church, or ANY CHURCH for that matter, continues to support OR flip-flop on liberal ideology, they are not much better then the Rats. ANYONE who is complacent about liberalism essentially condones it and is as much the problem as the leftist enemies of freedom, to quote the liberals themselves, "you are either part of the problem or part of the solution", or to paraphrase G.W., "you are either with us or you are with the enemy".

The Church is not a political organization, and will not argue its case in that context. It opposes what the liberals stand for issue by issue, but it is not appropriate for the Church to appear political. It opposed Fascism and Marxism because they were oppressive totalitarian systems. Liberalism at this point in history is simply a political philosophy that is at odds with the Church on the issues and can be rejected by the will of the people in our democratic government.
