You how EWTN at least through its email "Wings" is representing an ever-closer Vatican agreement with the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch re what happens to you by clergy of any kind, officials, people, or both is just God's judgment upon you, keep your nose to the ground and fret not for neighbors? You don't know that? Hmmm, maybe Cardinals or Bishops or whoever actually is asking cable companies to pull EWTN...who knows?

Now, you know how all over the USA recently, Roman Catholic Churches were encouraging non-stop Rosaries, Novenas, Holy Hours, et al? Hey, an most were against euthanasia and abortion, right? Well, move over all you fundamentalist, hypocrite Catholics the new Orthodox Vatican helps authorities to self-identify while clergy preach only government policy to everyone else!

 

Yep, turns out that while your Roman Catholic clergy was exhorting YOU to do those things (notice how many themselves wouldn't attend, leaving to K of C, deacons, et al?), the Vatican and your absenting clergy are lockstep with the Left in actually campaigning FOR Barack Obama ( see for yourself: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4516279n ). My, how those vatican nuns, Vatican, and USA media could just happen to bump into each other...the nuns find Obama a good and straight man, to quote them, plus the stuff which needs to govern. Where oh where are those 1965 IRS regs now, the ones that say if you do that for Dem, GOP, or other(s), you get no more tax free cash plus get fines?

 

This kind of malarkey doesn't shock anyone who's known the super-archdiocese of Chicago for decades has run so much rental space and motel space and housing via Love Inc, St. Vincent de Paul, Maristella, and in association with things like Lutheran C.O.O.L., and of course Catholic Charities, that literally all public housing and its occupants or really ANYONE politically expedient to local pols has only to talk to the Church...while anyone, any race(s), gender, age NOT "expedient" is turned away even from food scraps at pantries, told by Love Inc "maybe God wants you to be homeless" (kinda Eastern Orthodox, eh?)...this of course means saluting the only folks with money left, here being Illinois Democrat and tolerated token GOP officialdom, so that the State faith funds roll in unabated for whatever God's will is as seen through purseholder eyes.

 

I have nothing against the Roman Catholic RELIGION...it is, to me, a great one for demonstrating how Christ is simply about all people doing the right things by everyone they meet or rule, with Christ being a source of Divine authority for even Buddhists, Muslims, or anyone else to point to about simply doing good if one's own leaders claim only parties...not God...can give freedom or rights...I do fondly try to remember the post-Christ Church as it was with Fulton Sheen, but the Church seems at odds with the very religion it now sells to the USA public.

 

All I mean is that Catholics should have a right to deeply believe in peaceful ways because they are responding to God as He speaks to them via but one of many peaceful faiths, and that perhaps the Vatican, USCCB, or local clergy may not be the best de facto measures of what parishoner sacramental pursuits indicate...and the same way, even the Vatican and USCCB can join with a more Eastern Orthodox impression that government is always correct without ability to query or criticize; such clergy should just announce it to avoid undue accusations against those unsuspecting they may be called "fundamentalists" or something for walking into a Church simple.
