The Liberal wing of the Catholic Church (and liberal protestant denominations) have missed the point for the true reason of the church, which is not "social justice" or to make a man-made utopia on earth, but to address spiritual issues, mainly the saving of souls through Jesus Christ. Church help for the poor is SECOND and does not involve revolution (sorry, for those who believe in "Che Jesus" he never existed). What good does it do to just feed a person and not care about their soul? The Liberal Church is concerned with wealth redistribution and human rights - the right to do evil. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus never demanded this; he even told a man who insisted that his brother share the inheritance, "Who made me a judge over you?" and "beware of greed". He never demanded that Rome vacate Israel or stop executions. He reached out to people and addressed their SPIRITUAL issues, telling them to REPENT and that their sins were forgiven when they did (which smashes the view of liberals that Jesus ate with sinners because he didn't see anything wrong with what they were doing).

Jesus was abandoned by most of his followers because he ended up not being "Che Jesus". They wanted Rome overthrown and to be fed loaves and fishes (entitlement is nothing new). When they saw that it was all about spiritual issues, they turned on Him like a pack of hyenas, demanding that Barabbas, their hero, be set free and Jesus Crucified. Of course true believers know that Jesus' death was an atonement for our sins and not a surprise to Him or a tragic accident.

It is sickening to see the "Church" continue to compromise on sin, and insist we concentrate on "social justice" issues instead.
