Bishops for Biden San Diego’s Robert McElroy emerges as another one. Should Biden win the presidency, he will be the “second practicing Catholic” to hold that office, the media informs us without irony. Neither John F. Kennedy, with his prodigious womanizing, nor Biden, with his open hostility to Church teaching, justify that label. If anything, Biden has promised not to practice his faith. Like JFK, Biden believes in the strict separation of church and state, though not in the separation of religion from campaigning. Needing to win the Catholic vote, Biden has been playing up his Catholic roots, tattered as...

2020 Al Smith Dinner: A blunt appeal to Catholic voters During a normal White House race, the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner allows the candidates to don formal attire, fire off snappy one-liners and make subtle appeals to Catholic voters.But nothing is normal in 2020. Thus, Joe Biden and President Donald Trump used this year’s virtual dinner to preach to Catholic voters in swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida. The event produced few headlines, coming a mere six hours before Trump announced his positive test for COVID-19.Saluting Catholic progressives, Biden offered a litany about the pandemic, race,...

Launching the GEC Thursday at Rome's Pontifical Lateran University, the pope explained that the pact would "ensure that everyone has access to a quality education consonant with the dignity of the human person and our common vocation to fraternity."Muslim parents protest LGBT indoctrination...

Viganò: Francis Is "Blind Man" With "Withered Heart" Francis' Fratelli tutti ignores the "transcendent dimension" and "Catholic morality," Archbishop Viganò told LifeSiteNews.com (October 14).He asks what "brotherhood" - the encyclical's main theme - could ever exist if killing unborn children is considered irrelevant.Viganò sees in Fratelli tutti "no breath of love" neither for God nor for man because the encyclical, instead of waking up modern man of his "hypnotic spell of do-goodery, ecologism, pacifism, ecumenism, and globalism," confirms him in this.In order to do good to a sinful and rebellious man, it's necessary to explain to him that by distancing...

US bishop: Voting for Biden requires ‘reason that outweighs’ 860,000 abortions Bishop Thomas Paprocki asked, ‘Is it a sin to vote for Biden?’ SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, October 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Thomas Paprocki said that voting for pro-abortion Democrat Joe Biden in the upcoming election would require “a proportionately grave reason that outweighs the killing of 860,000 babies per year,” adding that even the death penalty is no such reason. In a follow-up to his recent video contrasting President Donald Trump’s pro-life record with his opponent’s pro-abortion stance, the bishop of Springfield, Illinois, attempted to answer the question, “Is it...

Viganò issues grave warning to bishops who are silent on abortion during 2020 US election 'Just as in abortion the mother kills her own child, whom she should love...so in the present fraud, the Church, willed by God to bring forth souls to eternal life, is found killing them herself spiritually in her own womb,' His Excellency says. October 14, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – “Silence on abortion is a terrible sign of the spiritual and moral deviance in that part of the Hierarchy which denies its very own mission because it has denied Christ,” said Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former papal...

Remember when Francis and his Collaborators cry "SCHISM" it Means they are AFRAID! What are they afraid of? They are AFRAID that it will finally get through the apparently cowardly or possibly not too bright heads of the few faithful cardinals and bishops that: Zero valid popes in the history of the Catholic Church have committed the sacrilege of instituting as the Vatican's official teaching that unrepentant adulterous couples can profane the Holy of Holy Jesus Christ who is true God by having unrepentant sinners receive Him in the Most Holy Eucharist. Nor have any of ALL the valid...

EXCLUSIVE: Interview on “Fratelli Tutti” with Bishop Athanasius Schneider ROME, October 13, 2020 (The Remnant) — Although Pope Francis’ new encyclical Fratelli Tutti contains positive elements, overall it “lacks a clearly supernatural horizon” and the proclamation of the truth that Christ is the “indispensable source of true fraternity,” Bishop Athanasius Schneider has said.In an exclusive interview with The Remnant (see full text below), the auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, criticizes the document for mischaracterizing St. Francis, advancing religious relativism, and construing spiritual and theological realities in a “naturalistic and rationalistic manner” that exacerbates the “decades-old crisis of the weakening of...
