The Vatican Attacks Trump Supporters

In July, 2017, La Civilta Cattolica published an article entitled “Evangelical Fundamentalism and Catholic Integralism: A Surprising Ecumenism,” a.k.a. “An Ecumenism of Hate.” La Civilta Cattolica is Italian for Catholic Civilization. This publication is prestigious and long-lived. It was founded in 1850 and it is vetted by the Vatican. The authors of “An Ecumenism of Hate” are Antonio Spadaro a 51-year-old, Italian Jesuit and editor-in-chief of La Civilta Cattolica, and Marcelo Figueroa, a Presbyterian, Argentinian theologian. Both are close associates of Pope Francis.

“An Ecumenism of Hate” identifies Trump voters, Protestant and Catholic, as in need of correction, as they diverge from true Christian faith, and pose a threat to American democracy and world peace. These Trump voters are wrong about, or are handling in an incorrect way, the following:

• abortion
• same-sex marriage
• the environment
• education
• welfare
• immigration
• the current influx of migrants into Europe
• Islam

Given that the article was understood as a papally-endorsed, full-frontal attack on the president of the United States and his supporters, it received wide attention...........To Read More.....

My Take - Heresy from the Vatican and the Presbytery.  What's a Christian to think?  It's easy - if they spout this kind of nonsense we know they're ignorant of history, they're stupid, they're oblivious to reality and they hate the very things they're supposed to be teaching the congregants because they've embraced leftist ideology over Christian ethics and teaching.   In short - they're heretics - and as you will see in the article - the heresy is deep and wide.  Why is that so hard to grasp?  The question now is - what is a believing Christian - irrespective of affiliation - to do about it?
