In our speeches about our faith, we need to be careful how we say things. Accusations against evil is one thing, but when you may blanket statements about a group of people or an institution it can turn people away from the faith. Not all people in one political party are bad, not all people in positions of leadership are bad. To lump a group of people into one category is wrong and will only serve to turn people away from what our Catholic faith teaches us about love. You are missing the point Jesus made about welcoming people to follow Him. He didn't hit people over the head or make accusations (except to the overly righteous ones!) so let's not do that either. Talk to people as a caring faithful person...not righteous zeal.
