The US Catholic Bishops have ALLOWED the flock to be divided by sending murky mixed-messages on Catholic pols who support abortion. It allows them to continue that ridiculous fantasy that you can vote for them as a Catholic in good conscience because they are “for the workin’ man”.

“The US Catholic Bishops have ALLOWED the flock to be divided....”

Fully agree, but it doesn’t start there....it starts at the top. There has been no clear statement of direction from the Holy Father to the Church leaders, essentially allowing individual discretion in how this issue is handled. If a Catholic supports abortion, they have excommunicated themselves. If a priest allows that person to continue to take communion, I believe that priest should no longer be able to be a priest.
