The liberal bishops love the poor differently from conservatives and libertarians. They literally believe Jesus when he said, “Blessed are ye poor” in Luke 6:20-21.
That’s why they advocate for social programs, regulations, and taxes that are ensured to make more people poor. Poverty is a blessing, and the bishops want more of it.
I wouldn’t ascribe motives to them. It’s just that they don’t know what they are talking about. They are just mouthing worn out platitudes.
That’s a great analysis...
too bad leftists can’t be shamed by their obvious lack of reasoning and ability to see the results of their advocacy.
Especially the current pope...I'm waiting to see if he starts passing out his robes to the cold and needy...
