As the nation gears up for the 2012 Presidential election, traditionalists are faced once again with an unsavory choice: having to choose between a neo-conservative and a liberal.
However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the liberal choice is definitely the worse.
The resent attack on the "ministerial exception" by Obama's Department of Justice in the Hosanna-Tabor Church v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission case being heard by the supreme court is just one more indication that the Obama administration is taking deadly aim at severely limiting religious freedom in this country. Even by just limiting the ministerial exception in hiring practices there could follow profoundly negative consequences for Catholic institutions. Catholic schools could be forced to keep rabidly anti-Catholic teachers in the classroom, and parishes may be forced to employ tattooed Satanists with hundreds of piercings as parish secretaries!
Another blatant example is the new regulations from the Department of Health and Human Services that severely curtails conscience protection laws, and could force Catholic institutions to provide employee insurance that covers contraception, sterilization and abortion. The current Secretary of Health and Human Services is Kathleen Sebelius, one of many liberal "catholics" employed in the Obama administration, whose intent is to force the Catholic Church into radical change by external, government coercion. By forcing Catholic institutions to provide health insurance plans that provide contraception, sterilizations and abortions either Catholic institutions will have to stop being Catholic or simply disappear. This is a full scale declaration of war on the Catholic Church by the government of the United States under the Obama regime.
Not to mention Obama's overt and wholehearted support for the abortion industry, a very long list of offenses could be penned. There is simply a world of difference between the mindset of the traditional Catholic and Obama and those who support him. There is a wide social, moral and philosophical gulf between the Democrat Party's electorate and traditionalists (and the rest of the sane world for that matter). This wide gulf can be seen clearly in the recent "Occupy Wall Street Protests", which horrifically demonstrate the perverted mentality of the average liberal on the street and the depths of depravity to which our society is sinking.
This is the face of the Democratic Party's electorate:
God help us from this mongrel crowd of revolting miscreants, unwashed delinquents, and debauched degenerates. As traditional Catholics, we probably don't see this sort of mob on a regular basis, but with the Obama administration in power, the irrational and insane mentality of these people will continue to greatly influence the future of the Catholic Church in America.
I'm a devout Catholic that loves the Traditonal Mass. You have very good points about the choice for 2012. BUT I'm part of Occupy Sacramento to stand up to the greed & corruption of Corporate America & the bail outs etc while the rest of us become more poor & taxed & have no rights. I'm not a slob or a degenerate. If you need a pic I can send to you. But I'm proud to be a part of that movement & have the blessing of my Traditonal Pastor FSSP Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think you are acting in a totally irresponsible manner to stand with this crowd and thereby give these people a legitimacy they do not deserve. Is this really the kind of company you want to keep?
ReplyDeleteI think it would be far more profitable for you to simply refuse to take out a usurious loan, advise others to avoid them as well, and apply distributionists principles in your daily life.
Socialism certainly isn't the answer to "corporate greed", nor is the philosophical and moral position of those who are acting in a most despicable and lawless manner.
I should also add that the comments from these protestors in New York stink, and I hate to sound like I'm parroting neo-con Republicans, of "class warfare". It seems that the protestors have cast themselves as have-nots and they are determined to target anyone of wealth. The wealthy have been cast as "Corporate America". In reality the wealthy are not a faceless and evil ideology, but real people who are necessary for social stability, and just as in need of salvation as the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteLet me begin by thanking you David for posting my comment. I really appreciate it. Im not against the "rich" per say. You work hard & are successful thats wonderful! But everyone should be taxed fairly. My main anger is directed at Corporate America. The banks etc that were corrupt & used profits before people for their own gain and profitably. Which is sinful. That's what started this whole mess. The Bail out while CEO's got golden parachutes. "We're to big to fail" attitude. That's so unjust. And NO ONE was justly punished or went to jail. The Tea Party Rises and they come Washington & spit on members of Congress. Despicable! But no one said anything then. The Rich are getting richer and the poor poorer. I am my brothers keeper. The parable of the Good Samaritan Luke Chapter 10. And I know it looks like an unruly crowd. But the media portrays that. I have been out there and there are good decent people. Remember. The Pharasies hated that Our Lord eat & drank with tax collectors & sinners. The Healthy have no need of a physician but the sick do. We have to also be where we can share the Faith & be a Light to those who don't know. We can't look with disdain on people who may look unkept so to speak. And only hang around our kind. "What reward do you have". Anyway. That's how I feel. And what I am doing is in no way jeopardizing my Faith. Rather I am able to share. And correct where correction is needed. To stand up for what is right. I agree with you wholeheartedly about those laws that may come to be. And if they do I will make my voice heard as well. I would die for the Church. It is my greatest love.
