“Preferential Option for the Poor” is nothing more than code for “Socialism.”
So you’re calling the Knights of Columbus a socialist group? And you’re calling every Catholic Charity a socialist group? The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest fraternal organization, helping feed more poor people and clothe more poor people that any fraternal agency in the the world. Helping out with natural disasters, donating millions to fight homosexual “marriage” and pro-abortion laws. My brother Knights and I are exactly what JP2 called us, the “strong right arm of the church”. And in my part of the country I have never ran across a liberal Knight. I’m certain they’re some, I just don’t know any. “In Service to One, In Service to All”.
If the KofC have adopted the language of Fr. Gustavo Gutiérrez Merino, who coined the phrase “Preferential Option for the Poor,” then yes, you’re socialists, whether you think you are or not.
Just 'Catholics.' Not Socialists?
