Liberal Catholics Criticize US Bishops’ Spokeswoman for Conservative Tweets

Judy Keane is currently on leave

WASHINGTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - Some liberal Catholics and an associate professor of religious and Africana studies have criticized the director of public affairs for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) for her conservative-leaning activity on Twitter.

The Washington Post published an article on Thursday titled "The spokeswoman for America's Catholic bishops stirs criticism among Catholics with her pro-Trump tweets."

Judy Keane, who has been anchoring a recent news series for the USCCB, has liked or responded to some conservative-leaning tweets on her personal Twitter account.

The author of The Washington Post article covers three people who have taken issue with Keane's Twitter activity in which she expressed support for President Trump and opposition to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).

"The @USCCB communications director @JKeanePR liked a tweeted article saying @AOC deserved a 'Nobel Prize in Stupidity.' This is a series of juvenile & unchristian social media conduct from the Catholic bishop's top spokesperson," said Christopher Hale in a reply tweet.

These damned liberal Catholics. Such hypocrites. So the USCCB spokeswoman can’t have or promulgate conservative views on her own personal time via her own personal twitter accounts? These same idiots tell us it’s just dandy for a Catholic school teacher to get gay-married on his/her own personal time.

Exactly. You can’t be a “Liberal Catholic” without denying either in theory or practice that there are defined, unchangeable teachings of the Church. It’s all up for grabs dependent on changing circumstances and feelings.

Liberal Catholics want illegal alien invaders because Priests need fresh Altar boys.

No problem. Let’s see what the stiff-backed bishops respond with. They will have her apologize then let her go. Tithing will continue to go elsewhere. Red hats...the blood of self-inflicted misery.
