Here is a link to an excellent article that I heard about today, regarding the Catholic church and their long march to a social justice agenda.

Chip, I think that your solution is brilliant. Stop giving money to the church, starve the Catholic Church. It will give strength and vigor to our Moslem brothers who, in turn, will make their cherished Shania Law the Law of the Land. No more problems, the State and Church will be one: Allah is Great! Yea right! Kick the church while it is in the process of righting itself. No, I will not stop my contributions, because the church, with all its faults and weaknesses, still brings us comfort, and I firmly believe that the majority of priests, bishops and nuns are honest and good people. As a matter of fact, the Church may need an extra push to upright itself. All Christian’s churches are run by humans, and therefore have experienced trouble times from the beginning to the present. “Errare humanum est.” However, I agree with most statements enumerated in your blog and in the piece by Hillsdale Professor Paul Rahe. In my opinion, the way to go is to let our voice be heard by talking to other people, by writing to our bishop, and by letting our local pastor know our disapproval of the direction taken by the Catholic Church. Also give extra financial support to the politicians who, like us, believe that it is not the job of the government to take money from some to redistribute it to others under the disguise of charity. To be silent would be the worst choice, but there is no need to fall into radicalism, and I disapprove of taking extreme measures at this junction. Papa
