I had a Catholic friend who was very pro life, and she could no longer vote Democrat as her large family had done. But she couldn't bring herself to vote for a Republican either so didn't vote.
Democrats make wars just the same, if not more, than Republicans. Well, those pro abortion bishops rationalize and lie. And the penalty for unrepentent liars is in Revelation.
I liked Bishop Burke and Chaput, don't know any other pro-life bishops.
They have to know it's excommunication latae sententiae (sp?) for anyone who procures an abortion. Well canon law excommunicates any of the clergy who teach heresy.
I bookmarked the link article by Most Rev Burke. I remember reading on FR that he had been demoted but it appears he may keep the title Cardinal.
Anyway, it's not about liberal or conservative. It's about Truth. And it's not about being mean or not being mean; it's about charity. And true charity doesn't want anyone to receive unworthily because they could get sick and die although I haven't seen that happen to where I could relate it to sin, as demonstrated by long life and health of public Catholics, so it must be about spiritual sickness and death (which eventually affects the body).
I don’t know how many Cardinals have been booted out of the College of Cardinals. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was zero, and I would be shocked if it was more than two. Once they are in, there are basically no standards. Some of the wickedest men in history have been Cardinals, and nothing was ever done about them.
Cardinal Burke was “chief justice” of the Church—Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura. He argued against the election of Bergoglio in the Conclave, so Bergoglio got his revenge. He made Burke the Cardinal Protector of the Knights of Malta, a job that usually goes to an 80-year-old. Burke is 66.
