For the last seven, eight, or maybe even nine years, I have asked the question of certain individuals:
Are we first and foremost a Church, with a social agency arm or are we a Social Agency that has a "side hustle" to be a Church?
My answer has been that we have been moving more and more into becoming a social agency.
No where was that more apparent to me, than the 2019 USCCB meeting, at which I learned that the Church is the landlord for over 30,000 apartments, and spends $$$ on Clinic Legal, to defend both legal and illegal aliens.
Today, I read the editorial, by the new editor, of CRISIS Magazine, and he asks this question, in a much nicer and more educated way than I do.
If you have the opportunity, it is a quick read.
