The Catholic Left Must Distance Itself From Violence!!!

Where is the the outrage and condemnation toward leftist firebombers and vandals!!! I am outraged. Where are the posts from VOX NOVA and America magazine distancing themselves from this!!! WHAT WILL THE CATHOLIC LEFT DO!! WE DEMAND A STATEMENT

Of course I do expect them not to respond. To say these my Catholic brothers and sisters on lets say the more progressive side endorse this or to even think the "left" as a whole endorses this would be nonsense.

If only we can have the same respect. That is why I find some of the more vocal voices saying that Catholic Social Justice politics as they practice it is some sort of pure third way is nonsense. Too often they engage in the same B.S. In the end is this post by VOX NOVA It’s not just a few “nutcases” just a liberal version of the wacko stuff we see on World Net Daily. BUT THEY ARE ORGANIZED THEY HAVE A WEB SITE. Horrors.

How about a deal progressive Catholics. I will not demand you make multiple statements that take time away from you agenda because you have to distance yourself from every left wing kook. On the other side you will not demand we spend days distancing ourselves from every militia, Lyndon Larouche kook in the world that happens to show up at a town hall meeting. We all know what is going on here. We can be adults or act like we are the bizarre left and right kooks on late night radio shows one has to get on the am radio.

We all know either side is not like that. Maybe time to act a tad more Catholic and maybe just sane. Besides yelling in our own echo chambers most Americans on either side are not buying this. They know their neighbors and they are not dangerous kooks even if they disagree on politics.

It's been a long time since we've seen that.
