If the church is not political why did the US bishops lobby for universal healthcare.
And Amnesty.
Short answer: they are not acting within the rules of the Church when they do so.
Because the USCCB allows themselves to act politically.
I have actually written to them on occasion requesting that they read the Catechism and other documents of the Church, and to quit acting outside of what the Church teaches.
They don’t listen to me.
They are the first to say they can’t preach from the pulpit on matters of politics, whom to vote for, and no anti abortion talk, certainly no anti birth control rhetoric.
So they pick and choose.
and they’ll have to answer for it.
Same as McConnell will have to explain why he didn’t protect and defend the Constitution, working to preserve this country for God, after swearing on a Bible to God that he WOULD do so.
