You, sir, have touched on the very reason these immoral acts have been able to persist in the US - the inaction of the Catholic Church’s leadership. It is unequivocally clear that they have given cover to the Catholic politicians that have foisted these evils on us, with only few exceptions.
The efforts of the Catholic bishops to prop up pro-abortion Democrats have been tireless. The “peace pastoral,” the “seamless garment,” the “consistent ethic of life”—all have been weapons in that war. Communion-for-Pelosi is another.
The message from the bishops has been loud and clear: Pro-life politicians are “inconsistent,” and want to BLOW UP THE WORLD, KILL THE POOR, and DESTROY THE WORLD WITH CARBON.
Only ONE bishop—Cardinal O’Boyle of Washington—upheld Humanae Vitae. During the Rescue Movement, only ONE bishop—René Gracida—taught the cops that it was a mortal sin for them to remove people from clinic doorways. Today, only about ten bishops don’t give Communion to pro-aborts.
