Why do I fear the U.S. Cinops? I sincerely believe that they are participants in the legalization of same-sex marriage for all of America. Whether it’s a Durbin or Kerry in the Senate and a Pelosi or Sanchez in Congress, they must be voted out of office. In 2005, Canadian Catholic politicians voted in same-sex marriage.

It’s a nightmare! What am I talking about? Government mandated abortion coverage in a socialized health program and legalized same-sex marriage brought about by the failure of leadership among the Catholic laity and Catholic bishops in Canada.

Remember we are focusing on Canada to prevent a tragedy here. In Canada, the Catholic Church was a kind of basket case. Let’s prevent this from occurring in the U.S.A.

Socialism and Catholicism are irreconcilable.

Please read closely some excerpts, indirectly on the above from Canadian Author Michael O’Brien on Development and Peace and the Pope’s New Encyclical “Caritas in Veritate.”

July 14, 2009 (LIfeSiteNews.com) – Pope Benedict’s stunning new encyclical cuts across all ideological lines, calling all mankind to an examination of conscience regarding our fundamental approach to the meaning of the human person.

To summarize the enormously rich material in this encyclical is a daunting task; Yet in essence the Pope is critiquing every form of governance, economics, and culture that denies the humanity of some human beings, be they the pre-birth child or the aged and infirm, or the poor in underdeveloped countries, in fact anyone. For East and West, North and South, an examination of conscience is urgently needed if we hope to avoid the proliferation of untold human misery and historical disasters.

Paramount in the affluent nations will be a radical self-examination of its economics, because, as the Pope notes emphatically: “Every economic decision has a moral consequence” (C in V, n.37) … The encyclical is not only a warning; it is an exhortation to mankind to employ all our vast material resources and intelligence, motivation and imagination, to develop new forms of interaction, commerce, culture, communication that would lead toward genuine progress and communion.

The splits in Western consciousness are much evident in the extraordinary negative reaction to the encyclical that has erupted in so-called liberal and conservative circles. The liberal approach has been to extract from the encyclical the Pope’s words regarding the rights of the poor, the worker, the underdeveloped nations, while ignoring what he says about the rights of the unborn child...

Adding insult to injury, some Catholic periodicals in this country (Canada), after an amazing selective reading of Caritas in Veritate, have declared that the encyclical roundly vindicates the policies of Canada’s D & P (Development and Peace programs). If a passage in the Pope’s writings seems to confirm their template, then it is extracted out of context and the rest of the Holy Father’s teachings are ignored. Little or no heed is paid to his repeated exhortations regarding the right to life, which he underlines in passages such as:

“If there is a lack of respect for the right to life and to natural death, if human conception, gestation, and birth are made artificial, if human embryos are sacrificed to research, the conscience of the society ends up losing the concept of human ecology, and, along with it, that of environmental ecology… It would be wrong to uphold one set of duties while trampling on the other. Here in lies a grave contradiction in our mentality and our practice today; one which demeans the person disrupts the environment and damages society.”51
