By David Carlin, The Catholic Thing - When will our Catholic clerical leadership wake up to this? When will they remind Catholics that the national Democratic Party has become a de facto anti-Catholic party? When will they issue a collective pastoral letter saying this?... Or do they have a secret strategy of allowing the Catholic Church in the USA to shrink to a saving remnant? Do they look forward to selling our church buildings, which will continue to serve socially useful purposes as restaurants, museums, concert halls, or Spanish-language Pentecostal churches?
