This clip from Real Catholic TV gives a brief definition of the role of civil government. Michael Voris rightly decries those who look to government to solve their problems, and he also states that it's mostly left-wingers who do so. I'll take that a step further by illustrating why I believe that liberalism and atheism feed each other. The atheist claims there is no God. However, such a claim violates his very nature, as we all recognize a need for God, be that need conscious or unconscious. Nature abhors a vacuum. So what, then, becomes the god of the atheist? Well, there are the usual suspects: money, pleasure, comfort, convenience - but there's another choice of false deity - government! I truly believe that is why so many atheists are lovers of Big Government and haters of the One True God.
"Too many Catholics look to the State to solve problems that the Church should be solving." That does describe the modus operandi of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Let us learn the principle of subsidiarity. Let us learn why Pope Pius XI condemned socialism. Let such knowledge govern our votes this coming November.
A note to left-wing lawyers regarding my previous sentence. We are NOT a "501(c)" anything! Among other things, there are no muzzles upon what we can say, be it political, partisan or whatever. So stop salivating, now! There is no lawsuit fodder here!
