The Catholic Faithful have long had to deal with the Left trying to demonize the entire Catholic Church because of the actions of a few priests. Quite a few conservative non-Catholics have bought this lie, unfortunately. Now the TEA Party movement is getting a dose of what it’s like to suffer the confusion, disgust and pain we Catholics have suffered from the Left because of this mixed up idea called “Transformative Justice”. TEA Party activists shake their heads now in amazement as progressives paint the entire TEA Party movement as “racist” because of the actions of a few. Don’t take it personally, TEA Party. We Catholics have been there, done that, in regard to the “priest sex scandal.” Unfortunately, as I’ve shown here, many who call themselves Catholic — because they are leftists who think like other leftists — are continually perpetuating the view that whole communities are actually to blame for the severe actions of a few.
It doesn’t seem that we’ll be able to combat this problem with any ease. The Left is certainly on the march to inject this theory into our justice system as much as possible. I would submit that it doesn’t do much good to merely insist that the TEA Party isn’t racist based on the actions of a few individuals, as if they will somehow understand that logic. Such claims will likely only make them believe they are simply more “enlightened” than you are. If you’ve been asking yourself, though, where they come off making the outrageous claim that the TEA Party movement is completely racist, well, now you know.
