If one wants to look at the sunny side,the B/bishops by a vote of 183 to 6,voted to allow the Bishops to follow Rome rather than the "imposters",who have,to this point,forced the entire group of B/bishops to follow them. They (the imposter bishops) did this by falsely interpreting and then enforcing a nebulous,ambiguous,nonsensical and false "collegiality".
The (impostr bishops) led by the lying McCarrick's resolution would have said that denial of communion was not to be used to punish catholics,who "in good conscience" received. In a sense this was/is the beginning of the counter revolution of the CAtholic Church in America.
I believe you've got the vote backwards. The bishops voted 183-6 in favor of ignoring canon law and Rome in order that they could continue to practice their own, individual (and often twisted) logic to justify giving the likes of Kerry Holy Communion.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, in a 183-6 vote during a closed meeting in the Denver suburb of Englewood, Colorado, said each decision about denying communion to some Catholics in public life should rest with the individual bishop "in accord with established canonical and pastoral principles." The statement also said bishops can legitimately make different judgments on the "most prudent" course of action.
Am I missing something here? They say, “according to established canonical principle." Canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law reads: “. . .those who (like Senator Kerry and many others in Congress) obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”
So, it is apparent the bishops are clueless concerning canon law, or they are talking out of the sides of their mouths - the masters of double speak.
The only conclusion that can be drawn from the bishops latest proclamation is that if you are a sinner and want to receive Holy Communion and not feel guilty, even if you have a mortal sin on your soul and don’t want to go to confession, your odds are 183 to 6 that you will be in a diocese where the bishop doesn’t care. And if it ever leaks out, who the 6 good shepherds are, who follow the will of God and you abhor Godly bishops, you can always receive Communion in the next diocese. This is what the Catholic Pro-abortion politicians will be doing.
