Questions on Can a Catholic Be a Democrat?

It is my understanding that we are not to judge, but to love, I think it was St. Francis of Assisi (I may be wrong, but it speaks of his spirituality) gave us a very profound method to evangelize our faith, “Preach the Gospel Daily, when necessary, use words.” {We continue and try to answer your question.}

St. Francis of Assisi lived in times when the Church had serious problems, similarly to our own. He loved the Church and was loyal to the Magisterium and its teachings. St. Francis would preach the gospel truth of Jesus. Forgiveness and conversion would be his two other goals. Today, he would follow in the footsteps of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict VI. He would have a refresher course for all.

For an enhancement of faith and mediation: The Dialectic of Secularism: on Reason and Religion, Mary the Church at the Source, The Meaning of Christian Brotherhood, God is Near to Us, Gospel Catechesis and Catechism, All of the above by Ratzinger/Benedict, Ignatius Press. St. Francis would give a test to all bishops. Those who fail are out of any leadership positions. But they can pray for an increase in faith and be retested. Those involved with scandals, he would remove.

St. Francis would listen; and act upon what these two popes are preaching, literally and not figuratively. He would fight the dictatorship of relativism and the culture of egotism and selfishness. He would love and convert the enemies of the Church. He would win. The spirit of the world does not trust in the truth. They are afraid of the truth.

St. Francis would be focusing on the second largest religious group in America. After the Catholics, we have the lukewarm, cafeteria-type, generic Catholics. He would be doing outstanding missionary work among them. He would be deeply disturbed by their role models, the Catholic-in-name-only politicians, (CINOPS) and their supporters within the Church and in Catholic Universities. He would consider the progressives as misinformed and regressive.

One of St. Francis’s role models in the U.S. would be Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, bishop of St. Louis, Missouri. Bishop Raymond wrote in the latest edition of the Canon Law journal, Periodica De R Canonica wrote an article calling his brother bishops to task for their silence on the problems of Catholic politicians who support abortion, euthanasia, cloning, embryo research and the homosexual political agenda or other legislation “contrary to the natural moral law.” Another role model would be Father Frank Pavone & the work they are doing as Priests for Life.

St. Francis in conjunction with the documents of Vatican II would call upon the Catholic laity to get involved in the public arena: pray, stand up and speak out. For example in Orange County, California, a rosary prayer and education vigil in front or nearby the offices of CINOPS State Senator Lou Correa and Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez would be a normal activity. Come back to your Catholic faith. Hell is an eternal choice. Possibly, St. Francis would encourage the establishment of dozens of blogs throughout the country, similar to CINOPS BE GONE where this article is posted.
