While you are correct about the USCCB and its leftist tendencies, i believe that it is actually a “canonical organization” inasmuch as national conferences are addressed specifically by canon law.
“While you are correct about the USCCB and its leftist tendencies, i believe that it is actually a “canonical organization” inasmuch as national conferences are addressed specifically by canon law.”
This is correct. In fact, Pete Vere and Michael Trueman, both of them young orthodox lay canonists, devote a chapter to episcopal conferences in their new book “Surprised by Canon Law, volume 2”.
The bishops, unfortunately grew up in Democratic households, and cannot get it into their heads that the New Deal coalition of which Catholic union leaders were a part, was shattered in 1972. It is now the party of the Unitarian George McGovern. While nominal Catholic like Pelosi, pretend to be moved by Catholic social doctrines, and they sometimes use the language, they are radical laicists who only listen to the liberal abbes at place like George town.
