Biden can’t get much more pro-abort. This whole thing - the selection of Biden - was staged as a challenge to the Church in this country. If the bishops fail us now - for example, by not forbidding Communion to Biden until he repents and accepts the teachings of the Church - the Catholic future is going to be bleak. If the bishops give in now, they will have revealed that neither local authorities nor Rome have any power, and that the authorites do not believe what they claim to believe and the orthodox laypeople are ignored, and therefore, that the State can impose whatever it wants on the Church.

Bishops, please wake up!

I would say the bishops are awake and hearing and reading every word, given the number who have attacked both Biden and Pelosi since the convention began.

...bishops...not forbidding Communion to Biden...

What known pro-choice person HAVE they turned away from receiving Communion? Anywhere in the country? What instructions on this has the Pope given to the bishops of the world?

Ignoring their own teachings is hypocritical and certainly gives bad example to the whole church.

"Believe and obey all the teachings of the Church and confess your sins to a priest."

"Ignore the fact that your spiritual shepherds lack the courage to enforce the teachings of the Church."

Shame on me for using the intelligence God gave me.
