For the Republicans healthcare
is about Obama
For the Democrats it is about
defeating the Republicans
For many Christians it is about
on demand abortion laws
The problem is this isn’t what the
debate is about
The debate is about changing
our consumerist mindset to
one of Personalism and
Distributism
It is about making money for
the common good and then
sharing that money with the
larger community that needs it
It is about eradicating our ego
and as the USCCB has said “not
grumbling if the government
raises our taxes for the common
good”
It is about living with less and
giving more
For the Catholic healthcare is about
social justice
As Pope Benedict XVI has said, “Humans
are more than just ‘units’ to be used”
