The Grahams (Baptists) and the Catholics are saying these things. My Methodists are in public on the side of the tyranny.
I am a Catholic.
I am a Baptist.
I am on the side of persecuted Christians.
And in the same breath they support the Welfare State and Open Borders. What the Catholic Church has never understood is that a huge, cradle-to-grave Welfare State with no concept of citizenship always results in despotism.
I appreciate his comments.
However, as a Catholic, I take issue with the Church’s soft position on illegal immigration.
Wonderful, poignant speech.
Would have been a whole lot more helpful if delivered in September, 2012.
Well...
SOME are, anyway.
And I don’t consider them “Americans”; they’re liberals.
Mutually exclusive terms.
dictatorships or police states like we have now (and increasingly so!)... do not tend to dissipate into benign, kindly, benevolant do-good governments
ask any German, Russian, Cuban, Chinese, etc etc etc etc and etc
we are in deeeeeep doooooooo doooooooo, and sinking fast
Catholic ping!
Still waiting to hear from “black Christians” about this. Oh, that’s right...they are too busy going for their 30 pieces of silver from the democrats.
Shout it, write it, sing it, cite it! I hope the good Archbishop understands that it will take men on his station getting in front and in center, subjecting themselves to "hard despotism", for this message to ring true. The Christian leaders must stand up and boldly declare their beliefs.
“are being increasingly subject to a soft despotism.””
In other words, they wont walk you to the edge of a pit and shoot you in the neck. They are more refined today. They will cause you to lose your job, your livelihood, your happiness, etc. They will sue you, bankrupt you, expose sealed court records, attack your pizza restaurant or floral shop, etc.
Then you are, in poverty, with family and friends disgusted by you, having lost your worldly means of coping. No, they don’t use a 32 anymore.
Now its a soft tyranny. Doesn’t it feel soft?
The Church Catholic as the Mystical Body of Christ will prevail. The Church as a social institution will be, most likely, underground soon.
Francis Cardinal George said this...”I will die in my bed, my successor will die in Prison, and his successor will die a MARTYR”. Frankie was a very smart man who could read the tea leaves of what’s happening in this country.
The Archbishop sounds like Mark Levin. :)
Small wonder why a priest called Mark Levin’s show to thank him for all he’s done, and another priest had a Mark Levin link on his blog.
