In a letter to be read in the Catholic churches of the diocese of Peoria, Illinois at all Masses this weekend, two days before the election, Bishop Daniel Jenky equates pro-abortion Catholic politicians and the people who vote for them with the mob that rejected Jesus Christ over Caesar and warns that “God is not mocked.”
In the letter, which Bp. Jenky has directed all the priests in his diocese to read to their parishioners, he says that 2,000 years ago, “after our Savior had been bound, beaten, scourged, mocked, and crowned with thorns, a pagan Roman Procurator displayed Jesus to a hostile crowd by sarcastically declaring: ‘Behold your King.’ The mob roared back: ‘We have no king but Caesar.’”
“Today, Catholic politicians, bureaucrats, and their electoral supporters who callously enable the destruction of innocent human life in the womb also thereby reject Jesus as their Lord,” says Bp. Jenky. “They are objectively guilty of grave sin. For those who hope for salvation, no political loyalty can ever take precedence over loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ and to his Gospel of Life.”

Amen, Speak of Faith and Morals and why they are to be and what they mean. Do you live your faith? Do you understand your faith? We will never know all while here in this world but we should strive to learn as much as possible about our faith and live it to the best of our abilities. Yep we will fall once in a while but our family, the family of the Church and the Grace of God can help us get back up, repent and do the right things.
God Bless
This strong man of God is in our prayers.
“God is not mocked.”
““God is not mocked.””!!!!
“God is not mocked.”

God bless and keep you and everyone you love.
Why has not the Catholic Church excommunicated them?
That letter is just lip service.
I am one of the padres who read Bishop Jenky’s letter and at every Mass, everyone clapped
