Ryan did his best to inveigle the Freedom caucus to approve a flawed Bill, but it didn’t work. Back to the drawing board. (BTW, my Congressman said that the FC was on board until nearly the last minute and then changed their minds.)
on a more upbeat note, Cardinal Burke spoke at a local parish last Friday and it was very heartening to hear someone saying the same things I have been thinking. Our local bishop was not in attendance, which struck me as odd, since you have a visiting cardinal in your diocese seems you would show up, but he was instead at a fish fry at St James....Cardinal Burke repeatedly referred to "the crisis in the church", spoke of Francis by name very sparingly. And while he did not call him out as a heretic, he said many things that lead to that inescapable conclusion.
I, for one, don’t mind them debating and working this longer to get the best plan. This rush thru the process isn’t necessary.
