A Money Changers Moment for Catholics

Of all the groups that Barack Obama bamboozled in 2008 and 2012, Catholics were the biggest suckers. They voted for Obama and now, according to the polls, they are backing Hillary. But evidence suggests that some people in the Catholic media are waking up. They are promising not to get fooled again. They could influence millions of Catholics to abandon the Democratic Party in this critical election year. The Catholic Standard editorial, "The Fruits of Silence," by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the Archbishop of Washington, may be a signal of what's to come. It is a strong indictment of the liberal intelligentsia and their "politically correct" mindset. Wuerl communicates a sophisticated awareness of how the far-left uses misleading talk about solving the problem of "discrimination" against various groups, in order to force their radical views on society at large. He writes, "Here is how it works. A legislative body passes a law that says it is illegal to discriminate against a specific group of people and their behavior. This classification of 'discrimination' includes Catholic teaching or any requirement concerning behaviors in our Catholic schools. In other words, such laws would find that a Catholic school discriminates when it teaches that taking the life of an unborn child is wrong or that sexual activity outside of marriage is immoral. The charge of discrimination is also directed at Catholic schools when they expect their teachers to support the teaching in words and deeds."
