Are you tithing toward Community Organizing in your Church?

Have you heard of the Industrial Areas Foundation?

The following information was obtained by the website JohnTwo24-25.net…an incredible source of information!

The purpose of this [article] is to fight the encroachment of the Industrial Areas Foundation (in the form of the Oklahoma Sponsoring Committee) into the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and throughout the United States and the World. We believe their goals (and those of all Alinskyian community organizers) are antithetical to the teachings of the Catholic Church, and that their actions will in the long run harm the very people that the IAF purports to help.

AND IT DOESN’T STOP THERE!

This is the website that gives all the information about the Oklahoma Sponsoring Committee (website)

Please take action and contact them to stop this today!

In a nutshell, Community Organizing is a method for people to join together to gain power for the attainment of mutual goals in their neighborhood, city, etc. This sounds like a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, most community organizers hold to a political ideology that is considerably “left of center.” Some unfortunately define “social justice” as those who own Hummers or Cadillacs and live in nice homes as NOT tithing generously enough and therefore not being good Catholics. They mistakenly judge others, and forget the true reason Jesus came to earth—to save us from our sins—not to fill our bellies. Of course we are required as Christians to give what we can, in our time, talent and treasure, to help others. How we give, or how much we give, has always been and should always be, between us and God. If we sin, it is our personal sin. If, as many would require, we are forced through “redistribution of income” to share a greater portion of our goods, then we would be robbed of our gift-giving ability.

The failure of our leaders to uphold laws of commonsense and respect, freedom and democracy have led to the decline of our nation in many ways. We feel that the American leaders of the Catholic Church (bishops, cardinals, and priests) have been assaulted (and in some cases co-opted) by politicians and secularists, and have compromised on many issues that have negatively affected our Church and our Country. When Catholic institutions, or politicians who claim to be Catholic, openly embrace positions contrary to the Church’s teachings millions are left confused as to what the truth is. The Catholic Church must hold to the Truth. The Truth must be found and told. We will strive to attain the Truth to our dying breath. We will be supportive of our Church and Her hierarchy, and we will pray for Her, for God’s guidance to those on both sides of this issue, and for our country. Please join us in prayer and in taking a stand on this issue.

What other events and ideals that are contrary to the Church have been promoted under the disguise of SOCIAL JUSTICE?

What would a person discerning the faith think and feel when we embrace people and organizations who preach such things?
