Dr. William A. Borst of the October, 2011 Cardinal Mindszenty Report will do the analysis: Excerpts:

"Big Government and God’s Gifts: “The Catholic Church will play a large role in the 2nd Great Debate. (2012 Elections) One of the most disturbing aspects of this battle between government and a more manageable government is the role of the Catholic Church. With the main exception of ObamaCare’s strong pro-abortion plank, the Church has expressed little concern with the overall absorption of one sixth of the American economy under the wing of the Democratic rule.

“This is an outrageous and irresponsible position of the largest denomination in the country to take, especially when bishops and clerics have been preaching about stewardship and the responsible management of God’s gifts to its faithful for many years. Would it not be a wise idea for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to apply these same principles to the federal government, which has no compunction in wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars down a partisan sinkhole?

“Echoing Obaman rhetoric, the bishops said balancing the budget requires shared sacrifices by all. Packaged talking points from the Democrats obscure the reality that 51% of Americans pay no income taxes. Like their Democratic mentors, their focus is always on the 10%, whose Catholic members are the very people the bishops expect to give generously to the Church.

“While the bishops pay lip service to the difficult challenges of getting the nation’s financial house in order, they echo the arguments of many other religious groups by declaring that the budget is a moral document. If that is true, the real sinner is not Republicans, such as House Speaker John Boehner who is a faithful Catholic and sounds more Christian in preaching for America to live within its means than bishops who support a president who has been the most wasteful president in American history.

"The Tipping Point: According to blogger Henry Makow, the more America becomes liberal, the more it becomes susceptible to Solipsism. This word was coned in 1874 from the Latin solis, which means alone and ipse, which means self. In common usage it means a self-created reality that has little or no connection with Truth*. As American society has turned more to the left, its political and religious leaders have increasingly strayed from the real world of responsibility and fatal consequences.

"Since he took office in 2009, President Obama has shown little pride in his American heritage [on the part of his mother] and a great deal of disdain. Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, who analyzed Obama’s ideology in a speech The New Liberalism the End of American Ascendancy, is rooted in his conviction that America is so rooted in his conviction that America is so intrinsically flawed and congenitally sinful that it cannot be trusted with, and does not merit, the possession overarching world power."

*Sadly, the USCCB has an overall liberal perspective. Have we learned anything from history? Can we read the present times properly? Can we not compare our times to the socialism in Germany during the early 1930’s? Any kind of socialism is destructive to a nation! U.S.A. doesn’t want Obama’s socialism! WAKE UP USCCB!
