'But I cannot hold my tongue in light of the massive hypocrisy by church leaders in America who support coercive governments and "lead their flocks astray."'

It was a goal of the Obama regime to infiltrate the churches and have them preach liberation theology and postmodernism. There was even money to do it arising from George Bush's "faith-based initiative" funding. Like all of Obama's funding, getting dollars was tied to promoting his crazy liberal agenda.

What you are hearing out of the Pope's mouth recently is called "liberation theology". It is a tailoring of Christian teaching to communist ideology.

Most churches have caved to the communist agenda and it is driving parishioners away. They don't stand for appropriate morality and so there is no point in attending.
