Christian Conservatives & "Secularism" | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The Church does indeed need to expand into the secular world, at least in terms of serving not only its membership but the poor.  We need more Catholic Vocational-Technical High Schools and Remedial Schools (which also manage social benefits for their clients).  We need more Catholic Hospitals taking on non-violent drug offenders so that they do not need to be incarcerated.  This does not mean we need to impose our beliefs on them, although we could certainly offer Catechism classes as optional electives funded by the Church rather than by taxes.  We should also work with socialists toward more social justice - not for revolution, but just for representation.  Our obsession with Liberation Theology has gone on for far too long.
