Rome - Working to Starve America
With the G8 economic summit taking place in Scotland July 6-8, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops in a June 28 letter urged George Bush to take actions detrimental to the well-being of the United States. The Catholic Church continues to work for the destruction of the USA.
(Unfortunately for American workers and farmers, George Bush has never met a "free trade" deal he didn't like.)
With the US manufacturing base already sacrificed on the altar of "free trade," American agriculture is next. And the Catholic Church is fully supportive of any attempts to tear down the world's most productive agricultural system – the US agricultural system – all piously under the guise of "free trade."
The Catholic bishops wrote:
"The Summit should be an occasion for the G8 members to take concrete steps toward eliminating trade-distorting agricultural subsidies and targeting farm support to small and medium-sized farmers."
Yes - in the USA we DO have "trade-distorting agricultural subsidies," and every time I go into a supermarket and see the full shelves, I THANK the Lord for such a system! Instead, the US Catholic bishops would prefer our grocery shelves look like those did in the Soviet Union. Rome would just love it if the USA couldn't feed itself, and had to depend on the good graces of "global trade" for food!
The bishops also wrote:
"A successful outcome will require substantial increases in market access and effective special and differential treatment for developing countries."
Ohhhh......I get it! When the USA supports farmers, it's "trade-distorting," but when other farmers are supported, it's "effective special and differential treatment."
If you're an American and used to eating each day, are you praying DAILY that Christ protect the US farmer from – the Roman Catholic Church?
