They don't speak for the Church, at all. They might speak for the far-left wing of the Democrat party, however.
“National Catholic Reporter is an uber-liberal rag that has been repeatedly told by the bishops of Kansas City (where it’s published) NOT to use the word “Catholic” in its name.”
Then why doesn’t “The Church” sue? Probably because they also won’t deny communion to the Likes of Pelosi, Biden, Cuomo,etc, and because like other “organized religions,” they are Socialist/Marxist in their philosophy.
