Forty-eight Catholic members of Congress have written to Cardinal McCarrick, warning of "great harm" to the Church and a backlash against Catholics should bishops begin denying the Holy Eucharist to congressmen who vote to support and fund abortions.

Cardinal McCarrick should take this as a challenge – and ask himself how St. Thomas More would have reacted to this threat. Then, go forth and do likewise, Your Eminence.

St. Thomas More became a martyr for his beliefs. St. McCarrick???

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

St. Thomas More became a martyr for his beliefs. St. McCarrick???

Sadly, I laughed out loud when I read that. What do you suppose McCarrick's beliefs are? Do the Unitarians name saints?

[Notwithstanding]

What on earth can McCarrick gain by being such a weenie? He could never be pope. He can't go any "higher" in the Church.

In light of such deliberate deception, I am wondering how one could reach a conclusion other than that McCarrick is a pro-abort and unworthy of his office.

St. Thomas More in a letter to his daughter, Meg:

"Although I know well, Margaret, that because of my past wickedness I deserve to be abandoned by God, I cannot but trust in his merciful goodness. His grace has strengthened me until now and made me content to lose goods, land, and life as well, rather than to swear against my conscience."

"St. Thomas More became a martyr for his beliefs.
St. McCarrick???"

Dream on. McCarrick brings to mind St Chrysostom...
"The floors of hell are paved with the skulls of bad bishops".
And now for the real scandal:
Who elevated McCarrick to the sacred college of cardinals?
