Right- wing American Catholicism so out of touch !



      In his emphasis on Catholic social philosophy Pope Francis is far from deviating from the Catholic Tradition. The historic Church of Rome was always at odds with modern capitalism anyway.
    Right wing American Catholicism was always incongruous with that pristine faith of poor and working class Catholics in Old Europe and Latin America.
     I cringed when I heard the corrupt and sinister Father John Corapi say on EWTN  that his " Mother Mary " wore combat boots. Before he was disgraced in a sex-drug scandal Corapi  was an eloquent champion of U.S. militarism and the criminal war in Iraq.
      Just what did the  American  Cardinal  Spellman -the anti-communist fanatic-have in common with Pope Francis ? By the way, Spellman was a Nixon fan.
       What kind of " right to life " Catholics support the death penalty and oppose a national health care plan ? Just what kind of Catholic is Jeb Bush ?
