If you are one of the faithful still going to church on Sunday, dont be the fertile ground that lets your pastor politicize you.
Even if its only for the sake of situational awareness, take stake of what is happening in many of the mainline churches, whose pastors have become the latest breed of political activists, trading the Gospel of Christ for politics, all for the 30 pieces of silver called government grants.
Political activists at the pulpit, derelict in duty, have conveniently forgotten that it is the souls and not the politics of the faithful that need saving.
Notice how many churches now mimic Big Brother Government when it comes to dictating to you what is true charity?
The government and its increasingly politically active churches have decided on your behalf that amnesty is the charity of our day.
Big Brother Government never chooses charity based on altruism but on hardline politics, the kind that guarantees them their survival.
The same government/church charity Selection Committee turn a deaf ear to persecuted Christians , to war veterans and to the poor who struggle more than ever in every parish and congregation in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Catholic and non-Catholicare killing off charity by making it so obvious that they are transitioning over to government official ambassador status in the distribution of Free Stuff
Genuine generosity and loving ones neighbour, which spring from the human heart and conscience, can never be legislated. Like Social Justice, they can only be painstakingly socially engineered.
Church goers have always given generously to both the poor and the ongoing upkeep of the churches they attend.
Read any church bulletin to see how much these good souls are putting into the collection basket each Sunday.
The churches of the current dayCatholic and non-Catholicare killing off charity by making it so obvious that they are transitioning over to government official ambassador status in the distribution of Free Stuff.
Pastors gone political do not have a monopoly on alms for the poor even though they go to great lengths to portray themselves as the holier than thous.
Charity from scripture, the kind we are cautioned not to speak about, is nothing like government-imposed charity. Charity from the faithful, based on pleasing God Almighty, is far more natural, far more trustworthy than government charity because government charity is only extended in expectation of re-election potential.
If the priest or pastor at your church insists on making politics and not the Gospel of Christ the mainstay of his homilies, find another church. If the priest/pastor of the next church goes the same way, find another one.
The current trend of closed-down churches, means putting more miles on the drive to church, but in the process you can become a Nomad for Christ.
Never let a pastor politicize you even if he happens to be Fr. Stephen V. Sundborg, S.J., President of Seattle University.
Catholic students are asking for help at Seattle University because a group of pro-abortionists plastered the Catholic campus with flyers for a pro-abortion event that features a speaker from Planned Parenthood. (TFP Student Action, March 1, 2016)
The flyer that advertised the eventinitially posted with campus approvalis highly offensive, anti-Catholic, and even sacrilegious. It features an image of the holy rosary. But the Crucifix was removed and replaced with a contraceptive devicea direct mockery against Our Lord Crucified.
Thank God, Seattle University Students for Life and The Cardinal Newman Society spoke out against the scandal. As a result Seattle University president, Fr. Stephen Sundborg, S.J. responded with orders to remove the pro-abortion flyers.
Shockingly, however, the pro-abortion event was not canceled, just postponed. In a message to the Newman Society on Feb. 25, Fr. Sundborg says:
The event will not be taking place this evening [Feb. 25] and the students involved in the planning will be looking to include additional viewpoints and perspectives before seeking to reschedule it.
Wait a second. The right to life is not up for grabs. Nor does the pro-life truth need to give equal air time to Planned Parenthood and its pack of liesespecially on a campus that purports to be Catholic.
Never let a pastor politicize you even if hes the pope.
In a February 8 interview with one of Italys most prominent dailies, Corriere Della Serra, Pope Francis praised Italys leading proponent of abortion Emma Boninoas one of the nations forgotten greats, comparing her to great historical figures such as Konrad Adenauer and Robert Schuman. (LifeSiteNews, Feb. 26, 2016).
Knowing that his praise of her may be controversial, the Pope said that she offered the best advice to Italy on learning about Africa, and admitted she thinks differently from us. True, but never mind, he said. We have to look at people, at what they do.
At 27, Bonino had an illegal abortion and then worked with the Information Centre on Sterilization and Abortion which boasted over 10,000 abortions. There are famous photos of Bonino performing illegal abortions using a homemade device operated by a bicycle pump. Arrested for the then-illegal activity she spent a few days in jail and was acquitted and entered politics.
When she was appointed Italys foreign minister in 2013 there was a general outcry from life and family leaders at the appalling situation.
Responding to the Popes praise of Bonino, pro-life leaders in Italy expressed disbelief. How can the pope praise a woman that is best known in Italy for practicing illegal abortion and promoting abortion? commented Msgr. Ignacio Barreiro, who was until last year the head of the Rome office of Human Life International.
Luca Volonte, an Italian politician and the president of the pro-life Novae Terrae Foundation, told LifeSiteNews he believed the Pope was not really informed about how much Mrs. Bonino has done in Italy and at the international level to promote abortion and euthanasia. Even though he admits she did well in Egypt, he adds that even there she promoted her anti-life values. The Pope, said Volonte, was wrong and worse were the members of His secretariat for not informing him.
The Popes possible ignorance of Boninos stance is unlikely given his justifications in the interview. She has been for decades the most prominent supporter of abortion in Italy. Moreover, the Pope already received criticism for his contact with Bonino in 2015 when he called her about her cancer and invited her to the Vatican.
NEVER let political pastors be the cause of YOU losing YOUR faith. Better they should lose theirs than yours.
Do not retreat into despair and give up on your faith. Go over their heads, by going directly to Jesus, the greatest pastor of them all.
God protect us all from the wickedness and snares of the devil and the doers of evil, especially those who come dressed in robes.

Wiser than the serpent, the scriptures states that 5 of 7 churches are dead because if the were alive they would teach truth. These are the church of satan, in these end times, people must dress themselves in the battle dress uniform that God has provided for us. If not, satan will lead those "unsuspecting" down "primrose lane". We all fall short of the Glory of God, and our righteousness are as filthy rags. We who follow God lead by His example. Evil abounds, we stand fast as watchmen, and see God weighs his children.

Far wiser people than you have claimed to know when the "End Times" have begun. Even Christ said He didn't know, that "only the Father knows." Again, iFrank, given your ability to see into the future, give me the winners of next season's Super Bowl, NCAA National College Football Championship, and next season's NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball play-offs will be. Also, the Stanley Cup and NIT. I need to start placing some bets!
Actually, given the responses you've given to questions posed to you, your "vision" is very myopic.
