The radical, counter-cultural religion liberals try to suppress
Catholics are bad guys.
Their Christ-centric ideology puts them at odds with the power of the State.
Last year, the U.S. Army actually listed us and our evangelical Christian brothers and sisters as religious extremists. Our Commander-in-Chief’s Army actually lumps us into the same category as the Muslim Brotherhood, the Ku Klux Klan, and other groups listed above that truly are extremist.

10 political dynamics of Pope Francis’ new encyclical
