I am a regular practicing Roman Catholic and I am amazed at how many fellow Catholics are completely ignorant on basic business as well as economic laws.
These folks are as unfamiliar with Henry Hazlitt, Milton Friedman or FA Hayek as they are with the Democrat Party (in which they cast their vote) that supports Abortion as well as homosexuality marriage.
To non-Catholics, trust me, their is a cold war simmering in the Catholic Church between the Conservatives and lefties.
I have an old friend who is a minister and a big Obama supporter.
When I ask him why he wants to raise taxes, he says, "it's charitable."
I respond by asking "what is charitable about taking money that doesn't belong to you and giving it away?"
He just looks at me with that weird look on his face. "Don't you care about the poor, he says?"
“To non-Catholics, trust me, their is a cold war simmering in the Catholic Church between the Conservatives and lefties.”
Amen to that. Ive been to 2 different Catholic churches in my area and the services were as different as day and night. The one on the left was like Woodstock with a crucifix and a lot of politics in the so called sermon. The other was like church I remember as a kid. Lots of God, Jesus, The Apostles and no politics. I like the humble side of this Pope but that’s about it.
