New Catholic Bishops President Chided Biden, Pelosi on Abortion
Baltimore, MD -- The nation's Catholic bishops broke with precedent that normally sees the vice-president move up the ranks to become the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Instead, they went with the archbishop of New York, who has taken on pro-abortion politicians like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.

Great! Now quit giving them communion.
It will be encouraging to see more church leaders take the “it is time to clean out the Temple” approach to faith.
Oh they are soooooo brave staning up to these murders. end sarcasm
Oh they are soooooo brave standing up to these murders. end sarcasm
Doesn’t matter unless he cleans out that nest of democrat marxist vipers in the staff of the USCCB.
The Catholic bishops have let the lay staff at the USCCB, most of whom are retreads from democrat party jobs and far left “social justice” organizations support groups and issues anathema to true Catholic beliefs.
They work hand in hand with “Catholic” politicians like Biden, Leahy, Pelosi, Kennedy, Mikulski, Kerry, etc., etc., to allow them to fund abortion groups through grants and payments while they publicly demand that the faithful oppose abortion and march in “Right to Life” parades.
Clean out the USCCB and then let’s see what the bishops truly stand for. Until then, all else is talk.
As part of the laity of the Roman Catholic Church, “chiding” is not good enough.
The Bishops have MUCH more authority than than that, and they know it. Stop complaining about “cafeteria”, lukewarm Catholics if that is the very tone that YOU are setting
Archbishop Timothy Dolan defeated Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Arizona in a surprise victory, receiving 54 percent of the vote to 46 percent for Kicanas on the third round of balloting.
This is unbelievable news! Kicanas is a modernist protege of Bernardin and former rector of Mundelein Seminary described in nauseating detail in Michael Rose’s “Goodbye Good Men”. To select Dolan over Kicanas, whatever Dolan’s shortcomings, suggests a seismic shift in episcopal politics.
Let’s not gloat. Archbishop Dolan tends to talk “orthodoxy” but act “compromise”.
I believe that Archbishop Dolan spoke out against Notre Dame's conferring of an honorary degree upon Obama. Bishop Kicanas was deliberately silent, opting instead for hopeful dialogue with those who support abortion.
Does anyone know whether Archbishop Dolan signed the Manhattan Declaration? Bishop Kicanas did not although Bishop Olmstead of the Phoenix Diocese did.
A quick Google search reveals that he did sign it.
