The Catholic Church Confronts Socialism

Barack Obama has awakened the Catholic Church in America and has roused another sleeping giant.? The Catholic Church is painfully familiar with the totalitarian and atheistic ideology of Socialism.? The Catholic Church has battled Marxism in Europe and Asia and Fascism in Germany, Italy, and now in the Middle East.

The Catholic Church understands and openly acknowledges that the foundations and goals of Socialism are rooted in seizing power, stealing money, destroying hope and the human spirit, removing religion from public access, and enslaving the people.? Socialism is recognized as Evil with no hope of refining it.

Since Obama began to use ObamaCare to attack, remove, and eventually destroy Religious Liberty, the Catholic Church and people of many other religions have joined together in opposing Obama and his attempt to destroy Religious Liberty.? Father Andrew of Saint Thomas More Catholic Church in Centennial, Colorado, recently gave the opening prayer and addressed the 2012 Colorado Republican State Assembly and Convention.

The following are the transcribed words of Father Andrew from about 1:45 minutes into the above video.? These are the inspired words of a patriot who understands the enemy he is confronting.

...this is not an issue between Liberals and Conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. This is an issue between Democracy and Socialism. Now, when WE talk about Socialism, that sounds politically incorrect, but as a Catholic, I have earned a free pass to talk about Socialism because others who have stood with us have DIED at the hands of Socialists for the past two centuries!

And we know a little something about religious persecution, and I'd like to share a a few reflections.

The first is, whenever we have a religious liberty stopped, it is a HALLMARK of Socialism, and will never be compatible with Christianity for at least two reasons: Personal Choice and Private Property.

Personal Choice has to do with the personal conscience because you're responsible and re-countable for all the things that God has given to us, and that allows us private property so we can be generous and return it to our Lord and Savior at our close.

Government, Socialists -- Socialists want to take that responsibility away from us, and that goes against our religion! We see.. WE believe, Conscience and Private Property are NOT HUMAN IDEAS. They come from God, not from humans! Socialists do not accept Biblical Truth. They do not understand NATURAL LAW!

You see, WE believe these are from Our Creator, endowing us with Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness. Sounds familiar? It should, because they are framed in our Constitution, therefore we know that Socialism will never be compatible with our Democracy, the way we have it.

As we face this third century of this threat, I as a Catholic, invite everyone of conscience to join us, as people have in the past -- to join this fight against the threat of our religious liberty. And I assure you, that if we do not stand up and be counted at this time, we know the price that has to be paid if we lose this fight, and as a Catholic, I assure you -- we will pay that price again.

Socialism is a foreign threat to our Democracy. I am tired of this experiment, and I hope you are tired of it, too!

God bless America! Let Freedom ring!

We are fortunate to have great Americans like Father Andrew in our battle for Liberty.? Many more such patriots will join in the battle as the General Election becomes closer and Obama?s Socialist destruction becomes increasingly clearer.

Socialism does not tolerate the protection of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.? We are all tired of Socialism.? We are tired of Socialism destroying our prosperity, our joy, our freedom, our time, and our future.??
