Do you ever hear these Bishops ever condemn actual Sin, as it’s clearly defined in the Bible, as “reprehensible”? They turn a blind eye to the suffering of their own priests and Church members being persecuted and murdered in the Middle East, Africa, South America and Asia (yes, this means you China) but are moral absolutists when it comes to the world’s leading democracy. I don’t think any of these clowns have looked at the Catechism since they were in the Seminary, and then only to be taught by liberal instructors not to take anything too literally.

These guys need to read about Nehemiah - the Bible is ALL about appropriate wall building:

I know how personal this is, but I’d like to make a comment about my own experience.

I left the church after Ted kennedy was granted an annulment from a 25 year marriage. Also he was publicly pro-abortion and received communion.

Each time i have considered coming back something erupts, child molestation and cover-up, Mahoney in LA and others refusing to cooperate with the DA’s offices and the pope leaving him in office till the crisis subsided; abortionist and politicians who supported them receiving communion, and i can point to a few others.

if you like to attend church as part of your love and worship of God, there are other places to go. or you can build your own religious practice through prayer and readings and smaller groups.

best wishes and may God bless.

Two of the Four signers of the dubia are dead already, in the last two months.

Spirit Daily announces Caffara has passed. Stunning news.

How convenient or murder most foul?

If you join a Church expecting the others there not to be sinners, you are bound to be disappointed. Same holds true for building your own religious practice. The guy in the mirror will disappoint you.

I never expected perfection. i went to catholic schools for 12 years and saw a lot of imperfection. The problems I indicated are at the core of the modern church and there is a rot that has not been hollowed out.

Note to Catholic Bishops:

The Constitution of the United States wisely divided and separated the powers of the federal government! A law, to be Constitutional, is legislated by the Legislative branch, and it is executed by the Executive branch.

Under Obama, DACA was implemented by skipping the Legislative step, which means it was not Constitutional.

The Trump Administration has given the full Congressional branch of the government the opportunity to right this wrong and to make DACA a legal action--if that branch, as representatives of "the People" and "the States" wish it to be.

Back up your words with actions, Congress and Senators, if you wish!

I’d like to see the adjusted PCI, GDP, GNP, etc, rankings

of countries founded under protestant leaderships as

opposed to catholic leaderships. Would be interesting in

Africa with the ‘after freedom reorganizations’ and

revolutions. Cuba from catholic to commie is a catholic

chart win but a loss for cuba. Puerto Rico from Spanish

catholic to USA Protestant, we’d have to check time lines

of Commie Rat control to RINO vs. Conservative leadership.

Stick to the Bible, Bishops.

They don't even do that.

Aren't these the same bishops that spent a whole week in Dallas on the subject of priest sexual abuse, and finally decided a priest can enjoy 3 cases of reported child sodomy before they will inform authorities.

They have lost their moral authority in all matters, and should worry about judgment day when each of them is called to account.

Tick-Tock..

These bishops are taking their stand against both Catechism and Constitution.

They are very much mistaken.

Of course,the bishops have no problem with liberal Jesuits allowing catholic colleges to support abortion/ planned parenthood....Obviously ,God loves the poor but has no problem with murdering the unborn poor babies...To hear liberal catholics talk,God is okay with some sins...God must have given liberals the right to pick which ones...
