The Disconnect Between the Catholic Hierarchy and Catholics

An article in AmericanThinker.com brings to the front and center of America’s crowded social stage the aching void that exists between the Catholic Church hierarchy, the bishops and cardinals, and the mass of laity.

At this point, anyone thinking Hitler, Goebbels, or Mengele would be an intelligent thinker.

Much has been made of late as to end of life “death panels” in the Obamacare proposals and . . .
