As a recent convert, I take exception to you saying Catholics are socialists. I am far from a Socialist, but find my Savior in the Catholic faith more than I did as a follower of Obama’s sister congregation in the UCC. In fact, his being the Synod speaker before his election was my pivoting point in looking for a new Church.

Do the Catholics have their faults: Yes. I was turned off in the brief subsection of “social justice”.

Are the Catholics just as uncomfortable? I dare say yes, judging by how I was met by this question. Under Obama, Catholics have had their Social Justice subverted. Not Government mandated Social Justice, but Charitable Social Justice, is the subject. That seems to me, gets confused.

Conservatives are trying to unravel the hold that the democrat party and Catholic church has over the Catholic voter and part of that is analyzing Catholic leadership and teachings.

You may not know that Catholic Christians are a democrat voting block and always have been.

Why not one of the churches whose adherents have a culture of supporting the free-market? Protestants fled Europe to escape socialism imposed by the Catholics.

Recent convert and I take exception to the socialist comment. Hell the USCCB is suing the feds over Obamacare. That’s more than can be said for SCOTUS. At least someone is standing up for the freedoms of Americans.

and there is a failure likely in your parish and mine to promote subsidiarity. The Church built many of the hospitals in this country, the Church should do a better job supporting medical missionary work to rural areas in this country. That and listening to doctors regarding tort reform would address a lot of the true ‘access’ issues we have in this country.
