“Racism” Replaces Abortion As “Preeminent Issue” For U.S. Bishops

“Racism” Replaces Abortion As “Preeminent Issue” For U.S. Bishops

America’s bishops have been struggling to regain their balance ever since the lockdowns began. Financial ruin faced our schools, parishes, even entire dioceses. Catholics everywhere were starving for the sacraments. Recently, a brave few prelates dared to shed the onerous handcuffs imposed by their Blue State governors. Without the government’s permission, they announced that Catholics could return to Mass. They were surprised at the alacrity with which the authorities backed off.

Restrictions were slowly easing when George Floyd died a grisly death at the hand of a Minneapolis policeman on the 28th of May. Suddenly, our body of bishops, long anesthetized by the lockdowns, came back to life and embraced Floyd’s death as the inspiration for a renewed campaign against racism.

There had been other murders that might well have qualified as a catalyst for their campaign. In December, an Arab al-Qaeda terrorist named Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani assassinated Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham, Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, and Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters in Pensacola. No bishop raised the cry of “racism” — in fact, most media reports didn’t even bother to mention the names of the victims.

Last month, Kelvin Edwards, who is black, savagely attacked a middle-aged white couple, Kevin Craft and his wife Leanne, in Nashville, Tenn. Edwards was apparently attempting to dismember them with a machete. The incident received brief media attention, but when we asked Nashville Bishop J. Mark Spalding whether this was a racist incident, our repeated requests received no reply. During the riots that followed Floyd’s death, two black law enforcement officers, David Dorn of St. Louis and David Patrick Underwood of Oakland, were killed by unknown assailants.

see tagline. It’s about race; skin color has nothing to do with any of it.

Always blowing with the political winds. They want people to fill the pews no matter how they have to bait them.

Well if that's their aim it's having the opposite effect. I haven't set foot in a church since they decided illegal immigrants were more important to them than citizens.

Most of the Bishops are like the Pope. They are Globalist/New World Order Social Engineers with little or no concern for Salvation.

“THOU SHALT NOT BE A RACIST”

isn’t on God’s Top Ten list but it’s a great distraction from keeping the items on The Almighty’s Top Ten in sight and taking action to fulfill them.

And in working to fulfill them being less filled with hate and or racism.

USCCB is a Leftist, Liberal, LGBTQ+++ organization. They are pro-Homo, pro-Lesbian, pro-Tranny, pro-Marxists.
They are a far-leftist political organization. Their DC base is indicative of this. Their positions that are anti-Biblical are ultimate proof of this.
So very many of them are The Enemy Within. Usurpers. The most Biblical course of action is to read their opinions and do EXACTLY the opposite in most cases.

Today, we commemorate the end of slavery & celebrate Black freedom. Yet, the fight for equality and justice continues in the face of systemic racism, police brutality, ecological devastation and the climate crisis. There can be no climate justice without racial justice. 1/2

20 Jun: Houston Chronicle: AP changes writing style to capitalize ‘’b’’ in Black
by Associated Press
The Associated Press changed its writing style guide Friday to capitalize the “b” in the term Black when referring to people in a racial, ethnic or cultural context, weighing in on a hotly debated issue.
The change conveys “an essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa,” John Daniszewski, AP’s vice president of standards, said in a blog post Friday. “The lowercase black is a color, not a person.”
The news organization will also now capitalize Indigenous in reference to original inhabitants of a place.

Daniszewski said the revisions aligned with long-standing identifiers such as Latino, Asian American and Native American. He said the decision followed more than two years of research and debate among AP journalists and outside groups and thinkers...
“It’s certainly long overdue,” said Doris Truong, director of training and diversity at the Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank. “It’s something that people who are Black have been calling for for a long time.”...

Corporate Marxism
Catholic Marxism

I’m a small biz Catholic capitalist — all this BS is so disheartening. Hasn’t affected my faith though — a never-ending necessity proven year after year after year... lol

Jesus talked about the ruler of this earth. That ruler is consolidating his strength in the church it seems. Evil ghouls.

I’m a self employed Catholic capitalist too.

I do think that the left wing clergy have really damaged the faith of millions; if they don’t believe what the Church has always taught, why should anyone else believe?

I advocate an immediate return to the traditional Catholic Mass, faith and sacraments.

The Catholic church has institutionalized anti-white racism.

“Sleeping in on Sunday” Replaces Sunday Mass As “Preeminent Issue” For U.S. Catholics

As they double down on their leftist lunacy, nobody is even listening.
