Limbaugh:
I would
say the Catholic Church is on its way to irrelevancy if it doesn’t start
distancing itself from the Democrat Party and the idea that liberalism equals
charity. Because liberalism does not
equal charity, and that’s how the church got sucked into supporting
Democrats. Not just the Catholic Church,
but all religions got sucked in to supporting the Democrat Party and all these
movements, all these social causes, because they began to equate government largesse
with charity. And it isn’t.
The
government is not a charitable organization.
Charity exists because people willingly donate their own money to the
cause. That’s not what happens with
government social programs. That money
is extracted from people, and it’s spent on things that many people would never
spend that money on if they had any control over it. But the church got roped in, and they weren’t
the only ones that got roped in.
