“The Catholic Church needs to take a stand and if their tax exempt status is pulled they need to sue all the way to the SC.”
The Dems learned that they could interfere with religion. They stopped people from going to church, didn’t they? That just emboldened them and now they are doing the next Step. They’ll take away religion one step at a time just like they’re trying to do with guns.
And good morning! It’s nice to be back home. I put my orange Post-its with an extra piece of tape at the bottom on about 20 gas pumps, 3 stations. I thought I would hit more on the way out of town but my eyes were hurting so I just wanted to get home.
Now I know why! My right eye is bright red and it hurts everytime I blink. That’s the problem with going for an eye treatment for 5 hours away, I can’t just drop in to have it checked. So I will just treat it myself of course :-) she did give me some steroid drops, and I really do mean give - no prescription she just handed me a bottle. They are very efficient with my money there. I never get overcharged. So I’ll just continue with those and if things aren’t better by Monday I’ll go in somewhere. My vision is fine so I’m guessing it might just be a conjunctival hemorrhage. But those have never hurt before, but she was a little overzealous with the expression. That might cause pain for a day or two.
How is your back Rusty?
Do you have any rain in sight LG?
OWWWWW, CB! Hope you get relief, FAST!
Glad you are safely back home.

Leftists Don’t Care About Mixing Politics And Religion So Long As It’s Their Politics In Charge
Leftist media want the Catholic Church to push their agenda. But when it enforces doctrine on abortion or sexuality, the church must stay out of politics!
Hypocrites in the corporate media love using the Catholic Church to push their politics, especially when it involves “devout Catholic” Joe Biden. But the minute the church’s stand on clear doctrine threatens leftist dogma, as the annual spring meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) did, you can expect a media crusade.
The USCCB voted last week to create guidelines on the meaning of the Eucharist (also called Holy Communion) and, as an extension of those guidelines, to communicate if and when politicians who support abortion should be excluded from participation in the Eucharist. As The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson has noted, this is not a difficult theological question for the Catholic hierarchy to answer. Canon law, statements by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and comments from senior Catholic cardinals like Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) and Francis Arinze make the answer clear.
Yet to hear leftist corporate media tell the story, you’d think a vindictive, right-wing faction is cynically politicizing the Eucharist to destroy the reputation of President Joe Biden, whom the media love to characterize as a “devout Catholic” who frequently attends Mass, cites scripture in his speeches, and carries rosary beads. The bishops, they say, are unjustly vilifying St. Joseph of Scranton!
“In Rift With Biden, a Dramatic Show of Force by a Conservative Catholic Movement,” blared a New York Times report, which pitted “liberal” Catholics like Pope Francis and Joe Biden against “conservative” Catholics like Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone of San Francisco and Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas.
After Biden called his clash with the bishops a “private matter,” CNN contributor Father Edward Beck used the same phrase to describe Biden’s reception of the Eucharist, while praising Biden for his public Catholic observances.
The Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty warned forbidding access to the Eucharist over abortion would threaten the separation of church and state. She also slammed it as hypocritical, since the church is not considering discipline for politicians who aren’t in lockstep with Catholic teaching on other issues like immigration, poverty, and the environment.
Who is really being hypocritical here? As The Daily Caller’s Mary Margaret Olohan put it, “the media only tolerates their own version of Catholicism.” Corporate media love to exploit the Catholic Church and its teaching to serve their ideological agenda, but when the church seeks to exert itself in any matter incommensurate with Democrat talking points, that same corporate media accuses it of suddenly engaging in reckless “politicization” of its religious identity.

Good point. Biden says “Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government.”
“If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.”
Hope your eye gets better fast. My back is much better but still not completely healed.
How’s Roy?
