Catholics in America are already leaving the church in droves.
This rant by one of the top Catholic officials in the nation could be the final straw to end the Catholic church in America as we know it.
And Washington, D.C. Archbishop just viciously attacked Trump in a rant that could send the Catholic church into a civil war.
American Catholicism is dying quickly
In many parts of our nation, no Church has as much reach and power in the community as the Catholic Church.
According to Pew Research, over twenty percent of adult Americans identify as Catholic.
So, needless to say, Catholicism plays a big part in our nation, its development, and its future.
But, like in many other areas of Christianity, Catholic church-goers are leaving the Church in droves.
Because over the past decade, Pope Francis has made it a personal mission of his to demonize conservatives in America while buddying up to the same people in Washington, D.C. who cheered as the FBI labeled traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists.
So when you have the leader of the Church demonizing you outside the Word of God, this would drive many of us to leave Catholicism.
But there are still many traditional Catholics who are trying to find their place within the Church, even as the Pope demonizes their very existence.
They hope that maybe Church leaders will stand up for Catholics or at least be ready to step up to lead the fight once Pope Francis is dead and gone.
Well now it’s clear that Pope Francis isn’t the only Church leader who believes conservatives have no place within the Catholic Church.
The newly handpicked Cardinal of the Washington, D.C. diocese, Cardinal Robert McElroy, made his beliefs known that he truly believes what Trump and his team are doing over illegal immigration is evil.
Cardinal sounded just like Kamala Harris
In a speech to the Jesuit Refugee Service organization last week, Cardinal McElroy claimed that, “The pathway of crusade and mass deportation cannot be followed in conscience by those who call themselves disciples of Jesus Christ, and we must work to make sure that that does not happen.”
“The first pathway — which Catholic social teaching would support — is to change our laws so that they have secure borders and dignity for the treatment of everyone at those borders and a generous asylum and refugee policy … I actually believe most Americans would be in favor of that pathway,” Cardinal McElroy continued.
The Cardinal went on to say, “Pope Francis talks about the victim lying by the side of the road. What desperation and hopelessness must be sinking in for him. Each of us, Francis says, at times in this world, is the victim in which we feel others are merely passing by, not paying attention. And it is important, Francis says, to understand, to recognize this experience in our lives, because only when we do so can we see ourselves in right relation with the good Samaritan, the one who comes to action, the one who saves us.”
“Then there are the figures of the robbers. We don’t see them, but we see what they have done. And Francis says, ‘Each of us in our own lives, is also the robber.’ Each of us, at times, victimizes others, consciously in a variety of different ways, [each] will replace our own interests and well-being ahead of others and truly cause harm. We must be in touch with that side of ourselves and with the darkness which is the robber inside every one of us, and recognize that is one of the great calls of Christian conversion, to root out that darkness, to face it where it lies, and to always fight against it,” McElroy finally concluded.

Comments like this is exactly what it will take to drive out the last remaining traditional Catholics out of the Church in Middle America.
But Pope Francis and his cronies have made it clear that they don’t want anyone who stands up for America’s greatness and for our Christian tradition to be anywhere near a Church and the Sacrament.
