“The Pope spoke out very forcefully against abortion when he was here this spring. Dozens of bishops spoke out during campaign.
There could have been a great deal of public backlash if a foreign head of state had appeared to publicly take sides in the election.”
Sorry - his silence regarding disciplining those Catholics, especially politicians, that defy Church teaching and the Scriptures speaks volumes. He remains quiet because it would have ramifications on attendance and income. He has spoken forcefully against other U.S. political issues such as the war. Why not now?
Please offer proof of the Pope's motivation for not following your instructions.
‘He has spoken forcefully against other U.S. political issues such as the war.’
Not correct.
