"Encouragement" For Laid-Off Catholic Workers

With General Motors and Ford Motor announcing combined cutbacks of 60,000 jobs in the USA, the Catholic Church is pretending they "care" about this loss of good-paying jobs. Such an example was seen in the Jan 26 Catholic News Service story titled, "Clergy Wonder How to Deal With Effect of Ford Job Cuts in Their Areas."

The article said:

"As Ford Motor Co. announced its intent to close 14 manufacturing plants and cut up to 30,000 jobs over the next six years, clergy in cities affected by the plant closings wondered how they were going to help their parishioners whose jobs and livelihoods were at risk."

Maybe these priests can "encourage" those affected by reading from the 2004 Labor Day letter put out by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops:

"As a global Church, we believe in building bridges and crossing boundaries in order to share both our needs and our gifts. Arguments that focus simply and exclusively on the likely domestic impact of trade are far too narrow. At the same time, U.S. workers and their families must be able to earn a decent living and, when necessary, adjust to the requirements of job changes and dislocation."

I'm sure this letter from the US bishops would be of great comfort to Catholics as they "adjust" to working two jobs just to make 40% of what they used to!

May the Spirit of God show many American Catholic workers that their church is fully supporting the globalist agenda of taking away good American jobs with the goal of making American wages no better than in the rest of the world. May Catholics repent of the sin of Catholicism and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
