"Let’s make something clear: the USCCB is a disgrace to Catholics everywhere — a predominately progressive organization that has enriched itself through hundreds of millions of dollars of government money for refugee resettlement while opposing any sensible laws to restrict immigration — a fact that looks very much, as Catholic writer and author John Zmirak pointed out on yesterday, like political simony. “How much would we have to pay the bishops to teach what the Catechism says on #immigration?” he asked. To put it more bluntly, I’d be interested in knowing how much we’d have to pay them to just be Catholic."The words of the Advent song are appropriate here: "People look East..." The Byzantine Catholic Church is ancient, one of about 24 accepted rites that comprise the Catholic Church. Find one tomorrow, and rediscover the ceremony, reverence, appropriate music, and all the smells and bells. I think you'll be impressed.
