Are you sure? I heard recently that we belong to the government…
Sister Campbell, you say the US Catholic Bishops say the Ryan budget failed a basic moral test and apparently it failed your test too. Well well ok let’s change the budget let’s address your legitimate complaints let’s get it right. But I don’t understand how that means tossing the whole Republican party under the bus by switching parties and going with the Democratic Party, the party that gives the sacred right of marriage over to homosexuality thereby defiling, degrading and debasing that most sacred of institutions. The Democratic Party that supports abortion on demand and supports planned parenthood which are mainly responsible for the 50 million infants now dead and whose blood screams out from the grave. The world that know the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob know that the act of a man putting his penis in another mans butt for sexual pleasure is wrong at least according to my Catholic bible and according to the doctrine of the Catholic faith–that would be the one headquartered over in Italy in Rome, where they use to throw those same people to lions and kill them for sport. Homosexuality is fine with Obama he said so and it is fine with his political party they support it and so does Rachel Maddow a huge leader in gay rights cause, her and her girl friend her mate and a great deal of the main stream media and TV, etc. That political party supports that the infant, the fetus, be ripped out of the womb and put into the trash. The important thing for them is that a women has a right to control her own body and do with it whatever she pleases including killing her own child. That right is held strict by the Democratic party. With his Health Care Plan Obama has stabbed religious liberty through the heart. And with your speech at the DNC you just gave your support of all of these things.
IMHO Liberal Nuns and priests should all be excommunicated. They have NO interest in following Catholic teachings, the Pope or even now their Bishops; but instead want the rules to change to fit THEIR agendas.
Social justice, healthcare for everyone, gay marriage rights, killing of babies are NOT remotely Christ’s teachings. And any attempt to say that they are, as in “What would Jesus Do” is ludicrous.

New International Version (©1984)
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”
New Living Translation (©2007)
Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”
English Standard Version (©2001)
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Barnes’ Notes on the Bible
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you – It would seem from this that the evil of which the apostle here complains had begun to operate even when he was with them. There were those who were disposed to be idle, and who needed the solemn command of an apostle to induce them to labor.
That if any would not work, neither should he eat – That is, at the public expense. They should not be supported by the church. This was a maxim among the Jews (see Wetstein, in loc.), and the same sentiment may be found in Homer, Demosthenes, and Pythagoras; see Grotius, in loc. The maxim is founded in obvious justice, and is in accordance with the great law under which our Creator has placed us; Genesis 3:19. That law, in the circumstances, was benevolent, and it should be our aim to carry it out in reference to ourselves and to others. The law here laid down by the apostle extends to all who are able to work for a living, and who will not do it, and binds us not to contribute to their support if they will not labor for it. It should be regarded as extending:
