Catholic Archbishop Warns About Dishonest Pro-Obamacare Leftist Groups Posing as Catholics
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, March 15, 2010, 4:48 AM
A Catholic Archbishop warned Americans today about dishonest leftists and democrats who claim the church backs the pro-abortion Senate health care bill.
We saw a bit of this already this weekend. A non-Catholic Catholic group of radical leftists and Marxists released a letter (signed by non-Catholics) in support of the Senate’s pro-abortion bill.
Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner reported:
In a piece to be released later this morning, Catholic archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver comes out swinging against the health-care push in Washington this week. He writes, in part:
Groups, trade associations and publications describing themselves as “Catholic” or “prolife” that endorse the Senate version — whatever their intentions — are doing a serious disservice to the nation and to the Church, undermining the witness of the Catholic community; and ensuring the failure of genuine, ethical health-care reform. By their public actions, they create confusion at exactly the moment Catholics need to think clearly about the remaining issues in the health-care debate. They also provide the illusion of moral cover for an unethical piece of legislation.
Do not be misled, in other words, by a Speaker’s lies or by anyone claiming to speak for the Catholic Church telling you a Catholic’s conscience will be clear if he supports this legislation.
Remember: The dishonest leftists will stop at nothing to pass their nationalized health care bill.

The Catholic Church should also be concerned about real Catholic organizations such as Catholics for Choice with annual budgets in the millions to push their pro-abortion agenda. Let’s face it, the Catholic Church is forever under attack by Catholics and non-Catholics. Pray for the Church.

Bart Stupak was told that abortions would save money over time because the dead children would not require further “health” care.
Disgusting. And definitely NOT Catholic.
Floradora commented:
Leftists, Statists, Democrats….all must LIE and DECEIVE in order to get what they want. The truth is their enemy. The whole lot of them are disgusting scum and a scourge upon humanity.

Where is Nancy Pelosi’s Archbishop in all this? Isn’t she supposed to be Catholic?
Richard Romano commented:
There was a commenter yesterday who kept bringing up that piece by a so-called Catholic supporter of the bill.
It’s pretty amazing how low they’ll stoop — I’ve never seen anything like it.
Fred J Harris commented:
The Dems are becoming more sophisticated in their battle plan. Acting like Catholics will certainly be a wonderful mask.
Next their Congressmen and Senators will act like loyal citizens of the United States voted into high office.
The question remains “what form of beast have we unearthed?”

what the fascist left have been aiming for is to “equate” good with evil.. that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the harsh reality they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in with their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all is good even if [the] all is evil.. – bg

On the”Hope and Change”(socialist) ticket. I am sure the American public will see through this farce—-won’t they?

Perhaps what the Democrats believe in the most is “G.O.D.”? Government Of Democrats.

pm commented:
Radical Leftists have, in effect, done what radical Islamists have been taught to do:
“Say you’re their friend and then kill them.” Deceit is their partner all the day long. This is the treachery we face.
It’s incredibly sad and worrisome that today we can’t take the word of any man, almost, and trust he’s telling the truth. A few examples:
–Rev. Wright said he was a Christian.
–Scozzafava said she was a Republican.
–Obama pretends to be anything but what he is.
Whether by design or not, these people lie about who they are. They either lie to themselves because their thinking and values are so skewed they lack clarity, or they’ve purposely chosen to deceive in order to impose their will on the gullible or unwilling.
Whatever the case may be, we must be able to discern truth. If we’re to survive, we cannot be deceived any longer.

Not Again! Meet Obama’s newest controversial pastor. Champion
of communism, socialism called U.S. ‘destroyer of human life’
[Wallis was in the news last week urging Christians to stop watching Fox News host Glenn Beck’s program for Beck’s remarks against churches that preach “social justice.”
[..]
Wallis, however, is a long time socialist advocate and founder of a far-left magazine, Sojourners, that has championed communist causes.
He currently serves on Obama’s White House Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. He reportedly is a spiritual advisor to Obama and has known the president for years.
Wallis began his activism as a protestor and then later Michigan leader of the Students for a Democratic Society, the 1960’s antiwar group from which Bill Ayers’ Weatherman domestic terrorist organization splintered.
[..]
Sojourners’ official “statement of faith” urges readers to “refuse to accept [capitalist] structures and assumptions that normalize poverty and segregate the world by class.”
Sojourners has published a slew of radical writers, including socialist activist Cornel West and James Cone, considered the founder of Black Liberation Theology which spawned the likes of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor of nearly twenty years.
[..]
Discover the Networks notes how Sojourners originally formed a socialist commune in Washington DC, where members shared finances and launched anti-capitalist activism.
In his 1976 book, “Agenda for Biblical People,” Wallis called the U.S. “the great power, the great seducer, the great captor and destroyer of human life, the great master of humanity and history in its totalitarian claims and designs.”
Wallis continues to openly support socialism. Along with socialist activist West, Wallis in 1995 founded Call to Renewal, a coalition of religious groups demanding the spread of U.S. wealth to promote “social justice.”
As a guest on MSNBC last week, Wallis stated
“social justice” is at the heart of the bible.]
more @ link..
”I am certain nothing has done so much to destroy the juridical safeguards of individual freedom as the striving after the mirage
of social justice.”
“I have come to feel strongly that the greatest service I can still render to my fellow men would be that I could make the speakers and writers among them thoroughly ashamed ever again to employ the term ’social justice’.”
~Friedrich A. Hayek
