I agree. And I’m Noahide.

"For the bishop, the US as a sovereign state is “unthinkable”."

But isn't the Vatican a sovereign state? Makes him a very big hypocrite.

NOT ONE CENT! That’s a start. Receiving the Sacraments and Prayer will carry the day, as poison for the Enemy.

I was referring to President Trump, in particular this phrase “...wear MAGA hats that represent a president “who denigrates the lives of immigrants.””

He was saying Trump denigrates immigrants. That is pure BS. He is for the rule of law, plain and simple. The left distorts everything he says.

This is one of many reasons I left the catholic church.

A Catholic church in the heart of Appalachia has attracted media attention for the Gay Pride Month banner stretched across its front lawn. The local ordinary, Bishop John Stowe, has a record of collaborating with a group that rejects Catholic moral teaching, and his spokesperson says individual parishes may decide if they want to promote the homosexual cause. . .Stowe is one of five bishops who endorsed Fr. James Martin, SJ’s book, “Building a Bridge,” and was also a featured speaker at last year at a conference for New Ways Ministry. The gathering was titled “Justice and Mercy Shall Kiss: LGBT Catholics in the Age of Pope Francis.” New Ways Ministry was condemned in 2010 by then-president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, and in 2011 by Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl, USCCB chairman of the Committee on Doctrine. Additionally, in 1999 the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith “permanently prohibited” the group’s co-founders, Sister Jeannine Gramick and Father Robert Nugent, “from any pastoral work involving homosexual persons,” after ruling that their teaching was “erroneous and dangerous” and “doctrinally unacceptable.”. . .: Diocese led by pro-gay bishop says it’s ‘up to each parish’ whether to promote homosexuality

Great job researching!

Time to pull their tax exemption.

I still think a “Wear your MAGA hat day” to coincide with Valentines Day (SAINT Valentine’s Day) would be a hoot.

I left the Catholic church too. And that weak mealy mouth poof bishop was bullied into condemnation, yeah and so was Pontius Pilate. Took long enough for him to apologize, but wanted to make sure everyone know HE was the victim. “Come out of her,my people, that ye may not be partakers of her sins....”

I find this particular comment troubling:

“In conclusion, the bishop states, “The pro-life movement claims that it wants more than the policy change of making abortion illegal, but aims to make it unthinkable. That would require deep changes in society and policies that would support those who find it difficult to afford children.”

So, you can afford the abortion cause it’s cheaper/less ‘difficult’ than having the kid. I suppose that’s what he meant. Yup, true man of God.

Just like his boss, Bergoglio.

Just a basic question, is it now a foregone conclusion that the MAGA hat represents racism? Is anyone ever going to publicly dispute this or is it true? If it is the truth, what is wrong in admitting that the politics of racebaiting, excusing senseless murder of police, illegal immigrants committing violent crime, drug deaths, etc. has damaged the greatness of this country? That many want this degradation of our country stopped and wearing a hat is in fact a manner of protest. We must stop running from OUR truth.
