The Church condemns radical materialism: that’s laissez-faire (hands-off, no-holds barred capitalism, i.e., slave labor, child labor as in China); and socialism/communism (Karl Marx said there was no difference) where individual free will is nullified. As we are judged on works, there are no brownie points for state-sponsored charity that originated in involuntary taking, see? No free will. Jesus Christ taught that, even in a situation of slavery, one is to carry one’s burden further than demanded and this was to retain free will, man as a Child of God and not an animal.
Fascism is the unholy alliance of government and business versus the people. National Socialism, NAZI government, is still forced taking, still free-will busting socialism. American fascism blossomed with the exercise of eminent domain, condemning private property for business development. Democrats in the south were particularly eager to wipe out poor communities for tax-riches to be gained from ritzy sunbelt developments. The $78,000,000,000.00 bailout is fascist. “Right-wing” and “left-wing” is a false dichotomy. There’s God’s way or the highway.
John Paul II lamented the state of Catholic corporal works of mercy in relaying a shattering dream he had when visiting New York. He said he saw an old woman followed by a stray cat being turned away by priests standing in the doors of the great churches, with special mention of the Jesuits. The Church in America is squandering her brains and brawn when she could be marshalling her power to effect community involvement and networking instead of keeping up the appearance of godness by redecorating.
Charles Dickens’ family suffered through a stint in the poorhouse. Like Scrooge, our leaders ask, “Are there no workhouses?” Put 'em on welfare. That’s all we need. Get foodstamps. This creates a fatal disconnect within the Christian community by destroying a social feedback loop so that our ministers know what is going on and are accountable to the people who give. And it is not God’s will. Did Jesus tell the hungry to go begging to the Romans or did He feed them? Did He allow them to make Him the king of free food or liberate them by converting the Roman Empire? Let us be salt and light.
666 is the amount of the profane taxes levied against profane nations by Solomon. We are not to take from evil to do good, even in building God’s temple. Forced taking is evil, no matter how much false security it brings. Socially engineered “hurt-and-rescue” is a tactic to enslave mankind. The elect will not be fooled. Christian Care MediShare is a list that handles all medical expenses of enrollees by simply sending out need letters. This is a Christian solution that bypasses a bloated, enslaving government bureaucracy. Don’t forget, Hillary Clinton’s healthcare commendation included arrest of sick people who went to non-government approved doctors.
When identity theft and social unrest are socially engineered to reach intolerable proportions, we will be offered the slave mark so the economy can continue and man can live by bread alone. God says this is an unforgiveable offense against the Holy Spirit (and will cause a cancerous boil). As Tommy Thompson, VeriChip poobah, waited for Katrina to strike, he proudly took his implant to suggest that disaster can best be alleviated by RFID chips.
Just as marriage has been secularized–as in the days of Noah–so charitable works have been secularized with nary a whimper. Giving is one of the Big Three spiritual weapons: prayer; fasting; and almsgiving. This route to allay sin is slowly being forfeited. May we redouble our efforts to retain our free-will giving and actualize the full potential of Catholic resources in freely doing good, all for the honor and glory of God. The Creator would like cheerful givers forking over at least 10% for charitable works and Catholics are now giving 1-1.5% on average. Jesus paid His taxes and performed works of mercy, not either-or. Thanks, God, for giving us giving. The option is spiritual, psychological, social and economic suicide, God forbid.

, I was referring to your statement that he likes to listen to NPR to hear what the “enemy” is saying…I took that to mean the enemy is the “left”.
