They are going to force people to be "just" and expect the blessings of a just society.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512933911925523108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-57879305675965495992012-11-02T12:35:18.726-04:002012-11-02T12:35:18.726-04:00Father this is a problem that goes to the heart of...Father this is a problem that goes to the heart of the matter. These individuals have a world view that is so divorced from actual Catholic social teaching that they believe that the answer to "poverty, immigration, health care, unemployment, environment" does not rest with God acting through the Church via the acts performed by the individual informed by charity and social justice, but by the government through some process of wealth distribution.<br />They are no more in communion with the Church than the Pelagianists. Chesterton would say that they have managed to go into the ditch by making social welfare their god, rather than balancing Jesus teaching on taking care of our fellow man against his salvitic mission to save souls and live a moral life.

My heart felt moved to a service where the Bible is taught in a different style. I find that many of the Catholic ideas are not mine. This topic is one of them. To many people show up on Sunday and say I'm pro-life, but cast their lot for a man of no faith. I was brought up Catholic and will die a Catholic, but I do attend services at a different church. If you take a look at my blog you will see I am a man of church and faith. May your day be a good one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787738273887360116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-42543739823598745932012-10-30T19:01:22.636-04:002012-10-30T19:01:22.636-04:00John:
