Clergy Are Engaging in Marxist Politics Under the Guise of Pastoral Care

It is a sad commentary of our time that priests today fuss over small-minded politics while trying to make it look pastoral. Clergy should keep their nose out of politics because Christ didn’t call them to that. They are called to guard the faithful against today’s political nightmare that is causing humanity to bow to small-minded issues like climate action and “migrant” inclusion. These issues have nothing to do with the love of God and neighbor.

Seitz of El Paso. On June 23, 2026, Bishop Baldacchino announced that he and Bishop Seitz invited "all the priests and faithful" of their two dioceses and the region "to join in prayer and pilgrimage" June 28 at Mount Cristo Rey, located in Sunland Park, N.M.

Exposing Political Evil is Not Political but Pastoral

Unfortunately, Pope Leo since his election has entangled himself in these political issues while ignoring the needs of his flock. This whole political fuss is grounded in the ulterior quest to gain the plaudits of U.N. globalists who are God’s enemies. Because of this misdirection from Rome, Catholics today are tempted to bow to Communists and Globalists rather than to Almighty God.

Similarly, political encyclicals like Laudato Si have tempted the faithful to bow to the planet as if it were a deity that deserves our ‘reparation.’ It appears that planetary idolatry has replaced divine worship, thanks to all the political misdirection from Rome.

The above is not to say that mentioning politics in Catholic sermons is necessarily unspiritual because it could be very spiritual if the priest is earnestly trying to deliver his flock from the spiritual poison coming through politics.

For instance, if a priest blasts the U.N. for deliberately ruining the planet while pretending to defend it from man just so they can have an excuse to murder man though abortion and euthanasia, the priest is being spiritual, not political.

Or if a priest blasts the Marxist controlled media for encouraging parents to give their children cell phones so they can look at pornography and be indoctrinated with evil, he is being pastoral, not political.

And too, if a priest warns that revolution and war are coming upon the nations because of the sins of man, he is being spiritual, not political.

But if a priest preaches climate action, open borders, migration, and the LGBTQ political agenda, he is being political and not spiritual because these issues have nothing to do with the worship of God but have everything to do with offending God.

If nothing else, the clergy should stay out of politics for the simple reason that they were not ordained to engage in politics no more than they were ordained to be salesmen, painters, or actors. By engaging in political talk they step outside their domain to the detriment of their flock.

This applies all the more if a clergyman be a cardinal or pope. So much of what they do today is politically motivated where they try to turn people against tradition while selling them on modernist heresy. Unfortunately, political brainwashing has reached into the very bosom of the Church and is perhaps the most lamentable evil of our time since it attacks the souls of men and often places them on the road to perdition.

Why doesn’t Pope Leo speak out against this?
