Conservative Christian Coalition Urges Defunding of US Bishops and Liberal Churches to Combat Marxist Ideology

By Allan Stein

7/21/2023

:{:{}:

A coalition of conservative Christian groups advocates defunding the “Religious Left” and its support of the Democrat Party.

The Deposit of Faith Coalition called on the U.S. government to end its funding of politically liberal churches and U.S. Catholic bishops who promote radical leftist causes.

The coalition of 10 separate Christian organizations, including Church Militant, hosted a press conference in Washington, on July 20 to expose government funding to promote an “anti-America Democrat Party agenda.”

“Through the decades, these groups have received billions in taxpayer dollars, which they’ve used to promote the radical America-last policies of the Democrat Party—such as gun control, open border, climate change paranoia, and religious censorship,” the coalition wrote in a press release.

The coalition proposes three ways to defund these organizations.

One is to stop Congressional appropriation committees from granting them contracts.

Another is to require leftist churches to publish tax filings through an amended IRS code.

A third is to revoke tax-exempt status for politically oriented religious organizations.’

Immediately before the press conference, the coalition held a prayer rally in front of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in the nation’s capital.

The coalition believes the USCCB is Catholic in name only and a leading sponsor of radical anti-American programs.

The press conference featured four guest speakers who discussed controversial topics essential to maintaining personal liberty and freedom.

Trevor Loudon of New Zealand, author, and Epoch Times contributor started the discussion with “the Man-Made Climate Change Hoax,” beginning with the early environmental movement of the 1960s.

Freedom and Prosperity

Mr. Loudon countered leftist climate change doctrine with the religious teaching of The Bible.

“The message of The Bible is that the Earth is here for us. You follow God’s laws, you be a good steward, and bounty is what you can expect,” Mr. Loudon said.

“There is unlimited potential in this world because we are creative beings who can solve any problem if we have the liberty to do so. And that is the key point—the liberty to do so.”

“The message is very clear: the Christian view brings freedom and prosperity. And the Catholic bishops are now standing directly in opposition to that view. They’re standing with the Marxists. They’re backing the climate-change extremists.”

“The Green movement is the 'watermelon' movement. It’s green on the outside but universally red in the middle.”

William Wagner, president of the Great Lakes Justice Center, discussed Michigan’s new “Hate Speech Law” and how it enables arbitrary enforcement to undermine free speech and conscience.

The new law carries both a fine and potential jail time for "misgendering" transgender people.

“We get to a place very quickly if you want to make up truth and suppress truth and ideas with which you disagree, and you have the power of government to do so, while why don’t we just make a law?” Mr. Wagner said.

“The free exercise of religious conscience and the freedom of speech is the constitutional rule of law in this nation that limits the exercise of government power.”

Mr. Wagner conceded that freedom of speech is not absolute—because one cannot use slander, libel, or threats against another without legal consequences.

“You can’t go into a bank and say you’ve got a bomb, and I’m going to blow up this bank unless you give me all the money. And when you get arrested, you can’t say you’ve got a First Amendment right to say that,” Mr. Wagner said.

Using child pornography as another example, Mr. Wagner said: “You can’t make a movie of a child and exploit a child, and then say, ‘Hey, I’m exercising my First Amendment rights.’ Those kinds of things have never been considered [free] speech and are not protected by the First Amendment.”

Tyranny of 'Hate Speech' Laws

“That is why what you see is an attempt by the Left to add another thing called hate speech. The problem is that they are regulating ideas, regulating viewpoints, regulating sacred viewpoints. And they’re putting a label on it to make it sound good.”

“Here’s the problem. Perhaps the most troubling are the provisions that unconstitutionally make citizens criminally punishable for their idea and viewpoints.”

Sheena Rodriguez, president and founder of the Alliance for a Safe Texas, spoke about illegal immigration and child trafficking, linking an international coalition of organizations such as the UN, religious charities, and non-government organizations (NGOs) fueling the crisis.

Ms. Rodriguez said current government policies incentivize the crisis, “thrusting [illegal immigrants] into a modern-day slavery scheme.”

“What if I told you this is being done under what some may perceive as a distortion of fundamental Christian principles?”

Ms. Rodriguez said the global immigration crisis exists because of a belief that international law supersedes the domestic law of sovereign nations and states.

“It operates under the proclamation of the UN that migration is a human right, often echoing far-Left rhetorical lines, such as no one is illegal,” she said.

“Many of these international and domestic organizations are simultaneously working against U.S. immigration laws with assistance from the Biden administration, which has fueled this massive, modern-day slavery scheme in the most massive, unprecedented scale in modern history.”

Gun rights activist Zoe Warren, host of "2A For Today," discussed firearms ownership under the Constitution as a bulwark against government tyranny.

Mr. Warren said the purpose of the Second Amendment is to “neutralize tyranny,” citing a well-funded strategic effort by the political left to “cause America to schism” and to become powerless in the face of government overreach.

“Your right to bear arms comes from God, not from government,” said Mr. Warren, adding that gun ownership is an “impediment and restraint” to political oppression.

“And by tyranny, I mean trespassing on our God-given rights,” he said.

The USCCB press office did not respond to an email from The Epoch Times asking for the Catholic Church's reply to the comments made by Deposit of Faith Coalition delegates.

Trevor Loudon is a New Zealand author, speaker and political activist who maintains a prolific and controversial blog entitled New Zeal. He is founder and editor of KeyWiki,^[1] a website dedicated to exposing the covert activities of American politicians. Loudon was also vice president of the ACT New Zealand Party from 2006 to 2008.^[2]

Background

Trevor Loudon has been involved in politics in Christchurch for many years, most notably the Campaign for a Soviet Free New Zealand (CFSFNZ)^[3] a group which published dossiers on people involved in the anti-nuclear movement, declaring them to be communists and "connecting the dots" between them and their supposed Soviet masters.^[4]Loudon established the Campaign for a Soviet-Free New Zealand in June 1986 to expose 'Soviet/Marxist subversion' in New Zealand.^[5] Loudon argued that the New Zealand government should cease all diplomatic and trading relations with the Soviet Union on the grounds that it was a hostile, totalitarian dictatorship seeking world dominance. The group most notably advocated a ban on the importing of Soviet Nova and Lada cars on the grounds that they had been built through slave labor.^[5][3] Other activities carried out by the CFSFNZ included staging protests, collecting information on the Labour Party and left-wing groups, and circulating pamphlets in Christchurch during the 1987 New Zealand general elections which attacked the Fourth Labour Government and local Christchurch-based Members of Parliament Mike Moore and Geoffrey Palmer.^[6][7][8][9]

Trevor Loudon became the public face of the Campaign for a Soviet-Free New Zealand.^[10] In addition to his anti-Communist and pro-ANZUS stance, Loudon claimed that New Zealand's Communist parties particularly the Socialist Unity Party and their front organizations had infiltrated the Labour Party, trade union movement, National Council of Churches, and left-wing groups like the Council of Organizations for Relief Services Overseas (CORSO) and the anti-Apartheid Halt All Racist Tours.^[11][12][13] By 1987, the group had a mailing list of about 800 people. It also maintained links with other conservative groups including Stanley Newman's pro-ANZUS Plains Club, the Coalition of Concerned Citizens and some Christian groups.^[14] The CSFNZ also published its own newspaper which ran from May 1988 to November 1990. Loudon also dismissed the perestroika and glasnost reforms occurring in the Soviet Union during that period as a smokescreen designed to advance Soviet ambitions.^[15] Loudon was also critical of the Māori protest movement, which he exposed as being directed by Communist subversives for revolutionary purposes.^[16]

Beliefs

He describes himself as "[Believing] in freedom with responsibility, not freedom from responsibility. My ideal society is one in which government is slashed to the bone and people are free to reach their potential." In addition to his libertarian economic views he is strongly anti-communist, in a 2006 post to his blog (see below) he stated "Socialism, is in short a manifestation of mental illness or major character deficiency."^[17] he has also stated a belief that communists are responsible for "supplying much of the world's illegal drugs," although he supports drug legalization (while being personally against drug use).^[18] He is a self-described "student" of the Zenith Applied Philosophy. In 2006 he wrote on his blog "I have studied at Z.A.P. from 1976 to 1982, 1986/7 and 1999 to current. I am enjoying my studies immensely at the moment and plan to continue indefinitely."^[19]

Allegations about President Obama

Loudon maintains a prolific and controversial blog entitled New Zeal. Many of his posts make allegations about the backgrounds of political opponents whom he sees as "menace[s] to liberty," often tying them tocommunist activity. Favorite subjects for attack are Green Party co-leader Russel Norman^[20] and MP Keith Locke, as well as academics he views as left-wing, posts about whom are titled "Socialist Academic Profile". (S.A.P.)^[21]

A series of posts he wrote on US presidential candidate Barack Obama^[22] attracted the attention of the conservative US based Accuracy in Media organization, who brought Loudon's accusations of Obama's communist connections to a wider audience.^[23] Loudons allegations even received coverage in The Washington Post, though the columnist stated that "The charges [against Obama] ranged from the absurd to the merely questionable".^[24]

KeyWiki

In April 2010, Loudon launched "KeyWiki," which profiles over 64,000 radical politicians and political activists from the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Africa and other countries. KeyWiki accepts submissions from approved contributors only.

"We've got congressmen in there, 'peace' activists, labor unionists, black radicals, 'religious' socialists, 'greenies', left wing academics , Obama appointees and thousands of card-carrying socialists and communists," Loudon said in announcing the project. "In short, all the people who are dragging America down." ^[25]
