IntroductionIn the article “The Catholic Roots of Obama's Activism” from the “New York Times” published March 22, 2014, Jason Horowitz (2014) portrays President Obama as a president very close to the Catholic Church, ideologically. Horowitz wrote this article following President Obama's visit to Europe and Italy in particular, where he met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Thursday, March 27, 2014. In this article, President Obama's inclination to community organization in the 20s is described as pro-Catholicism. In the front page article, Horowitz (2014) talked about the close bond between the president and his mentors in organizing programs. Greg Galluzzo and Gerald Kellman as well as the Catholic culture into which Obama was brought had a substantial impact on his political ideology. Obama's social organization and Catholicism President Obama's frequent references to Cardinal Bernardin, who was a key member of the Catholic clergy in Chicago, his close ties to the Church's Human Development Campaign in the 1980s are some of the main indicators of the president's inclination towards Catholicism. Horowitz (2014) indicates that Obama's ties to the Church reached the stage where the younger Obama was able to effectively persuade the community to adopt the doctrines of the Catholic Church and even worship in the church. In the article, a closer look at Obama's organizational programs to some extent downplays Horowitz's perception of the president's Catholicism. However, according to the article, Obama's Chicago organizing mentors, starting with Alinsky, played a crucial role in the president's embrace of the church's ideology of empowering specific members of society in the middle of the writing. .....spinning out of control, for six years now, Obama has transformed the American social landscape by redistributing national resources to previously marginalized communities and reforming laws that burden vulnerable groups and minorities. Conclusion Overall, the article presents Barack Obama as an individual whose social justice political ideology dates back to his involvement in the 1980s in pro-Catholic community organizing programs in Chicago. Regardless, Horowitz is clear enough that, to the extent that the Catholic Church supports human rights and greater freedom from discrimination, Obama's social justice policies are too liberal to be favorably received. In conclusion, the need to address the needs of vulnerable groups emerges as one of the key policies that bind President Obama to the Catholic Church, particularly under the relatively liberal Pope Francis..
