CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, said he was “alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.”
“This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country,” he continued.
Citing the “recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela,” he added, “Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?”
