Karl Marx is supposed to be the original author of "Social Conflict Theory", the deep-cover Machiavellian plot to ignite envious tensions and raging jealousy between "Haves" and the "Have Nots" as a vehicle for social change leading to eventual violent revolution.
Social Conflict Theory is the politics of Marxism, and it was greatly strengthened by the Communist Saul Alinsky, the great "Community Organizer" for chaos, disorder and social destruction.
Alinsky wrote Reveille For Radicals, and and later Rules For Radicals, which he dedicated to Lucifer, the first Revolutionary, who's revolt against God at least won him a kingdom. (The world.)
Comrade Obama may peace be upon him and Comrade Madame Hillary are both dedicated Alinskyians, and financially sponsored by George Sorsos, as is their whole Marxocrat Political Party.
Marxian, Alinskyian Social Justice and Social Conflict Theory is turning the civilized world upside down. America is being organized to death.
And the same process is attacking the Catholic Church, both from the top down and from the bottom up.
A case in point is the view of the validity of Vatican II described in a critique of the heretical Bishop Barron's Vatican II FAQs. Here's a pull-quote:
While it is true that Vatican II is widely considered the twenty-first ecumenical council of the Catholic Church, it is most unlike the twenty that preceded it.
According to the 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia:
Ecumenical Councils are those to which the bishops, and others entitled to vote, are convoked from the whole world (oikoumene) under the presidency of the pope or his legates, and the decrees of which, having received papal confirmation, bind all Christians. [Emphasis added]
It is part of the very essence of ecumenical councils to produce that which binds all Christians. Even in the answer given by Bishop Barron, it is clear that he understands the degree to which the act of defining is endemic to all ecumenical councils.
Given the fact that Vatican II chose to avoid teaching (much less defining) anything that is binding on the faithful, its place on the list of general councils is dubious at best.
To remove all doubt on this point, consider the following explanation given by the Holy See’s Theological Commission as found in the Appendix to the document Lumen Gentium:
… the sacred Council (Vatican II) defines as binding on the Church only those things in matters of faith and morals which it shall openly declare to be binding.
The Second Vatican Council, in the sixteen documents it produced, defined and openly declared exactly nothing “as binding on the Church.”
NB: The lack of intent to do what the Church does is sufficient to invalidate even a putative sacrament! While an ecumenical council is not a sacrament, it most certainly is the case that binding the faithful is what the Church does when she so gathers. It is, therefore, entirely reasonable to consider Vatican II something other than a valid ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church.
I am very interested in what you think about this. it is very troubling.
The question today is, who is Alinskyizing who, between the elites at the top and the useful idiots at the bottom? How did once Christian American culture ever get to the point of finding abortion in any way acceptable, or of embracing homosexuality as an acceptable and integral part of the whole culture?
It was done through the Cultural Marxist / Alinskyian PSYOPS program of Sexualism. It made homosexual perversion popular.
And put it at odds with normal culture, which it began to demonize.
Popularly.
So we see the example of "Catholic" Jim Gaffigan taking his own children to the New York fag parade and teaching them all about the goodness and naturalness and non-sinfulness and perfectly healthy activities and lifestyles of active homosexual perversion.
Madame Hillary would call it Progress. Pope Francis might bless it. Jim Gaffigan's children might become it. And they may never even know how that they are, or how they ever became, Useful Idiots of Marxism.
It's a generationally growing thing.
We have now hit the point where adult American citizens believe that there is such a thing as 58 (or whatever the number is today) "genders" in absolute denial of not only God and God's ordination, but in denial even of pure worldly and pure material science. Politicians in high office, of any and all Parties; leading academics; medical doctors; lawyers and judges; Senators and Congressmen, and more, are proven science-deniers on this one example topic.
They seek (and create) actual legal rights for "genders" that do not even exist. They fight court cases over it. They sue people and corporate entities for discriminating against it. They go all "cancel-culture" and all "me-too" in attacking anyone who supports simple, straight-up biology. They surgically mutilate little children over it. And that's not to even mention the horrible and damning mutilation done to human souls.
As if we were the science-deniers, and they were being scientific.
And isn't it odd that imperfect and non-Catholic Donald J. Trump is the ony one in sight trying to save the American national soul?
The only thing Truth has going for Him in this world is us.
The restoration of Truth = Reality in the hearts and minds of men is now totally dependent upon you and me; if we don't do it, it won't get done.
Sign The Letter to your Bishop, and make our Church Catholic again.
Emulate President Trump, and make America Constitutional again.

Never be lukewarm.
Life itself demands passion.
He who is indifferent to God has already forfeited his soul.
He who is indifferent to politics has already forfeited his liberty.
In America, religion is not mere window dressing and citizenship is not a spectator sport.
Do not allow our common destiny as a whole people to just happen without your input.
Get in the fight! Engage the Enemy!
Seek the Truth; find the Way; live the Life; please God, and live forever.

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in
thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life:
and few there are that find it! Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
