There’s no reason to be disappointed. All of the idiocy you see from the “Catholic” leadership in this country makes more sense once you realize that the Catholic Church isn’t a religious organization in the U.S. It’s an arm of the government — like those “state churches” in socialist countries.

It's an arm of the socialist forces within government. Always has been, always will be. The only break with so-called progressivism is on abortion/contraception.

"A preferential option for the poor," among many other expressions in wide use by the USCCB, is code.
