This situation makes more sense once you understand that bishops in the U.S. are effectively political office-holders, not religious leaders. This is why they are as feckless and useless as your typical member of Congress when it comes to governance.

Anyone who looks to a bishop for leadership is in for a lot of disappointment.

The political problem and service to oligarchy is at the center of all forms of organized religion. Organized religions are just that, organized.

Cardinal O’Malley of Boston was cornered a few years ago, and asked about Denial of Communion for pro-abortion politicians.

EVERYTHING he had to say about it was political. He said that the bishops’ conference had to be united. Nonsense. He said that the bishops must avoid, at all costs, appearing to be picking on one political party! Nonsense!

What he NEVER did was address the REAL question: Is giving Communion to pro-abortion politicians a SIN?

That is the ONLY question any bishop really needs to answer. And the answer is YES.

Antinomianism is a moral disease, with which all but about a dozen American bishops are infected. All the others consider the wearing of red or purple to place them above the moral law, divine law, and canon law.
