With Protestant artillery.

In 2017, when the Vatican secretary of state endorsed and approved an article being published in a well-read journal attacking Church Militant for somehow aligning with evangelicals to establish a theocracy in America, it was total garbage. However, we must give a tip of the hat to the Marxists in Rome, namely, Fr. Anthony Spadaro, who wrote the laughable hit piece entitled "Evangelical Fundamentalism and Catholic Integralism: A Surprising Ecumenism," in which he labeled the alleged cooperation between Church Militant (yes, called us out by name) and evangelicals "an ecumenism of hate."

Well, at the time, no such cooperation existed — certainly not in any formal way. So we did wonder, what the heck is he talking about? But back to that tip of the hat. That and proceeding events in the culture made us look in the mirror and ask, "Why aren't we working with these folks who are (1) certainly more patriotic than the average Catholic, and (2) more Catholic than the average Catholic, including many clerics and hierarchs?"

Spadaro's stupid assessment actually provided us a blueprint to begin moving down the road and linking arms, where possible, with like-minded U.S. patriots of goodwill.

So, back then, we didn't have our official "ecumenism of hate"; but now we do — an "ecumenism of hate" toward the destruction of America by domestic enemies (namely the Religious Left, including some U.S. bishops and their Saul Alinsky–inspired, perverse "social justice" narrative.

The same man that trained none other than Barack Obama as a "community organizer" even paid for him with Catholic money in Chicago, a point he did not fail to raise during that scandalous speech at Notre Dame's commencement in May 2009. Ever since Saul Alinsky penetrated the Church through his labor union dealings in Chicago, stupid and ignorant (not to mention malevolent) bishops have adopted his false narrative.

In 1940, Alinsky partnered with Catholic bishop Bernard James Sheil, The Chicago Sun Times and department store owner Marshall Field, to found the Industrial Areas Foundation, a national community-organizing network. Notice that partnership: media, corporate America and religion! From then, it was off to the races.

Saul Alinsky's mark on American Catholicism.

Despite a spate of recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings appearing to scale back their massive cultural gains, the Marxist force remains aggressively committed to the destruction of this country as we know it.

For years now, Church Militant has been warning of the U.S. bishops' complicity in all of this, even going as far back as the involvement of Saul Alinksy with the bishops.

Almost 14 years ago — yes, 14 years ago — Church Militant produced our very first investigation, and it was on this very topic, the complicity of the U.S. bishops in advancing the Marxist agenda along a broad political front.

This topic is coming around again, and we offer this for you, for your knowledge.

Bad theology and bad politics.

One ingredient related to the Church's leadership, especially in America, that is common to the collapse of both the Church as well as the nation is the current of Marxism so prevalent within the U.S. hierarchy. When Stalin came to power in 1922, he took direct aim at the Catholic Church and set about an immediate campaign to destabilize Her.

While it all does seem to smack of conspiracy theory-type stuff, remember that many of the so-called conspiracy theories over the past few years have proven to be much more than a theory. The same is true here. But since so much of this is "inside Catholic baseball," it has gone largely unnoticed by most conservative secular media.

While it is true that some of this has played out as what appears to be strictly Catholic civil wars, there is another dynamic much less obvious, which is no less present than the theological battles. The culture wars in the United States, it could be argued, really began first inside the Catholic Church, as Marxist notions and applications of socialism began to take root alongside theological errors.

...

And moreover, for another example, it was the bishops' national conference that came out publicly swinging for the fences in favor of Obamacare. It was Catholic Sen. Susan Collins, another product of the incubator, who voted the legislation out of committee and got it to the Senate floor for a final vote. It was her single vote that ensured Obamacare became law. Obamacare should really be called "BishopCare."

Obama proposed it, but the bishops, alongside their theologically corrupt politician sheep, are the ones who brought it to birth. The America we are witnessing before us today has the fingerprints of three generations of bishops and corrupt clergy all over it. It is the biggest story not told in modern American history.
