There’s something that happens that many notice but few are able to put into words. It’s the fact that SJW virtue signalling is used as a shield to defend heresies that one is promoting. It’s what a lot of liberals do to deflect criticism.
The best example of this are the ICE deportations going on in America right now. Leftist Catholics are outraged over the detention of parents and children and are doing mass demonstrations. This is outlined in the following article.

The article reads:
Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark led hundreds of Catholics in a demonstration against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Federal Building in Newark as the crowd chanted, “Stop the inhumanity.”
I’ve searched in vain online trying to find these protests when Obama was president and doing this in higher numbers. When he was president the lives of those being detained were absolutely worthless to Cardinal Tobin and other Catholics doing this and similar protests across the country. I should also point out that Tobin is dressing like a Wall Street banker in these photos and not a prince of the Church.
In his initial statement, Archbishop Vigano wrote:
The appointments of Blase Cupich to Chicago and Joseph W. Tobin to Newark were orchestrated by McCarrick, Maradiaga and Wuerl, united by a wicked pact of abuses by the first, and at least of coverup of abuses by the other two. Their names were not among those presented by the Nunciature for Chicago and Newark.
Tobin is trouble, and he rallies his leftist base by these shameful protests, which I’ll remind the readers was never done under Obama. If someone wants to prove me wrong, please provide me the information that shows that Tobin did this stuff under Obama’s reign. My priest is American and I specifically asked him if he knew any American Catholics who protested this under Obama. He said that he didn’t know of any. Of course he didn’t since it obviously didn’t happen.
Of course, all of this is a facade so he can promote his heresies. Tobin was part of the same crew as Wuerl and McCarrick and we both know what happened to them.
Another example is Michael Coren. Whenever a Christian condemns homosexuality he says that Christianity is about caring about the poor. I’ve never seen Michael Coren do anything for the poor. It seems that every Christmas he’s talking about “the Jesus I worship”. Coren does this all so he can use this as a shield to promote sodomy.
These people should be called out. Promoting social justice doesn’t make you immune from criticism in terms of heresy. The fact that they’re using the poor or detained as tools to advance their agenda is sickening.
