HGA Endorses Hillary Clinton for President, and Promotes Ed Rendell’s Heath Care Plan!

February 24, 2008 by Matt Heckman.

When I got word of this about my hometown parish in Berks County this morning, I literally put my fist into a wall with anger.

Holy Guardian Angels parish in Muhlenberg Township officially endorsed Hillary Clinton for President today, as well as preaching from the altar promoting Ed Rendell’s health care plan.

Chris Lilik at grasrootspa.com posted a story in regards to Rendell’s health care plan being promoted throughout several churches in The Commonwealth.

As for HGA they continue to prove that they are nothing more then a cash cow for Democrat Party hacks, and elected officials.  During the 2006 campaign there were several reports of how HGA was preaching that “a vote for Hal Baker is a vote for the devil” in efforts to reelect their golden boy Dante “Ace Ventura” Santoni.  Now they embrace a bitch in Hillary Clinton who stands against everything the Catholic Church believes in.  I take this quite personal, because my grandparents were one of the founding members of this parish, and my grandfather Harry Heckman Sr. protected the priests when they were getting death threats from those Italians in Temple over closing St. Anthony’s, to protecting them from the Klu Klux Klan when they were still vibrant in Temple and vowed that the parish would be their headquarters.  As a matter of fact my grandfather saved the life of the late Father Shay when he went to remove the altar stone from St. Anthony’s to only be greeted by these Italians in Temple with knives ready to kill him.

Needless to say those Italians eventually outnumbered the original members of the parish, and with it they took their left wing ideals and began using the church to promote it.  Another example was the late Father Ford preaching from the podium how “Bill Clinton was a good man who loved his country, and when you scratch beneath the surface Abortion is really not a bad thing”.  I was at that mass, and I was 15 years old at the time, and walked out.  My mother grounded me for a month with no TV, playing with friends, etc.  Later on in that day my grandmother who was extremely pro life asked me why I did what I did?  My answer to her was this.  The question should be did Jesus Christ encourage his disciples to promote the ideals of The Roman Empire to advance his beliefs?  No he did not.  The whole concept of faith is to have faith in the individual to do the right things in life, and the choice is theirs alone where at some point they will have to answer to God for their actions.  It is not the business of Government weather it’s The Roman Empire, or our own over bloated government to tell us how faith in God should be, and if I were to pass away tomorrow I would feel comfortable telling the same answer to God.  After that answer, my grandmother convinced my mother to let me off the hook, because she agreed with me 100%.

The bottom line is this weather it is HGA or any other church.  You should be preaching the word of God, and divinity of Jesus Christ through the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, NOT the gospel of Ed Rendell, and Hillary Clinton.  Those two people are NOWHERE in same league as the divinity of Jesus Christ, nor God himself, and to do so takes us away from religious freedom, and becomes government indoctrination.
