Franciscan Action Network To Honor A Socialist Friday Nov 7

From the Franciscan Action Network website, we see that they will honor Eliseo Medina for his "work with immigration reform".  This will be during their "Cardinal McCarrick Award Celebration" this Friday November 7, starting at 6pm at Trinity University in DC.

I was alerted to this by a friend who is on their email list.  The email contains this curious language, not found on the webpage announcement. "We knew that no matter yesterday's election results, we would have to work harder than ever on our core issues: immigration, climate, peacebuilding, and money in politics."  The FAN is an ostensibly Catholic organization.  The issues of baby-murder, contraception, gay lifestyles, abuse of embryos - all issues having to do with intrinsic evils - should be at the top of any "issues" list for any Catholic organization.  However, these serious matters aren't mentioned once!  This is sadly typical of organizations shilling for progressive goals while attempting to maintain a faux-katholyc veneer.

The bio that they supplied for Medina is rather sketchy.  Let's pop to wikipedia.  We see that he is currently Secretary/Treasurer of the SEIU.  Until recently he was one of their executive vice presidents.  I've written enough on the SEIU on this blog; review some of these posts to see how anti-Christian they are.

He's also an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America.  Pope Piux XI declared that "no one can be a sincere Catholic and true Socialist."  By bestowing honors upon this socialist, the Franciscan Action Network betrays its own stripes.

Rancid Souposiums

A monthly email from the Archdiocese of Washington's Department of Charity and Justice is promoting something called "Sunday Souposiums" put on by the Franciscan Monastery.  Some further research indicates that the "soup" might contain just a smidgen of rat poison.

The Franciscan Mission Service gives some insight about past "souposiums".  One held in January featured as its main speaker Sister Margaret Mary Kimmins.  She is the board president of  Franciscan Action Network.  Now read that home page for an eyeful of dissent.

"Ecological Conversion"??

The Franciscan Action Network is taking its turn at banalizing and stupifying the Stations of the Cross to engage in the idolatry of environmentalism.  They actually do call it "ecological conversion".  I guess they had to drop the "lenten carbon fast" schtick, for most people woke up to the abysmal joke that it was.

We have real problems, the latest being the Messiah Most Miserable and his Minions Most Mindless trying to ram their insidious contraception/abortifacient mandate down the throats of all good people.  We are watching the First Amendment being stripped from us.  We see good priests like Father Marcel Guarnizo being slammed under the apparent direction of the Cardinal, vis-a-vis that disgraceful "apology".  And we're really supposed to jump on board with this tripe???

Oh, by the way.  About this bastardized parody of the Stations, we read that "The Stations were compiled by Fr. Jacek Orzechowski, OFM, parochial vicar at St. Camillus in Silver Spring with a grant from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development of the Archdiocese of Washington."  Well, that explains a lot, doesn't it?  If nothing else, this serves as another illustration why we must not give one red cent to the CCHD and why it must be expunged from the Catholic Church once and for all.
