Holy smokes, who is this guy?
After Mass today I told my parish I would not be back. I have been there 20 years, taught CCD, Extra-Ordinary Minister of the Eucharist, Lector, taking Communion to the homebound and a Catholic Daughter.
The priest in his homily said that the election was decided on Saturday and we should spend less time worrying about politics and examine our own lives and sins because we do not know the time and day when the Lord will come.
That was the final straw for me.
He has been begging every week saying we are in debt to the diocese because of the shutdown. So they are asking those of who are attending now to increase our weekly contributions to make up for the losses.
Now he says they have to have the name and phone number of everyone attending for contact tracing. When he announced this he shrugged and looked sheepish and said, “It’s not my rule, ha ha ha”.
I lost it. I said our ancestors were martyred by beheading, burning at the stake, fed to lions and skinned alive but the priests and bishops have done nothing to defend our right to worship in freedom.
We need shepherds, not other sheep. Shame on you!
He is the guy who should be pope. Love his writings. He has written some phenomenal letters to President Trump. He is the Trump of the modern day Catholic Church.
I am so glad that AB Vigano can see the TRUTH.
He was the papal nuncio for the USA
He fought against mc carricks homosexuality etc
Vigano is a true man of God
Jvette I feel your pain. My AB applauded the “popes” statement of civil unions for homos. By the cowardly act of closing down the Catholic Church in Minneapolis/St Paul, the archbishop unleashed the power of evil that burned down the cities.
I found a very conservative church. The young priests tend to be conservative.
NYT & WP ran a story on him last year, but I can't get past paywall, Just had enough time to screenshot the headline. Sounds interesting whatever it is.
He’s not President and he’s not a Catholic.
He's a lone voice in the francischurch.
WOW!
May God be with him
We can blame the pro-bergolio bishops for stopping our Masses and not standing up for Church attendance to be considered “essential.”
Nicely summarized, marshmallow!
Biden is NOT President just because the liberal media is citing him as the "projected winner" and having orgasms over it.
And he's as "Catholic" as Kamala Harris is "Baptist", Bernie Sanders is "Jewish" and Sajid Javid (the guy who SHOULD have won the UK Conservative Leadership race instead of that doofus CINO Boris Johnson) is a "Muslim". All four only hold those religious affiliations on paper, and do not believe in, or practice one whit of what those religious teach.
Also, despite getting 90% of the "Catholic vote" (puke!) and having tons of disguided FReepers brainwashed into believeing he was "more conservative than most of today's Republicans", the "first Catholic President", John F. Kennedy, wasn't much of a Catholic either.
We have yet to actually get a traditional, actively practicing Catholic as President, which would be a Rick Santorum/Amy Coney Barrett type candidate.
The closest we're gotten so far is, interestingly enough, Reagan (who was Irish Catholic on his dad's side), and... Donald Trump (whose wife is nominally Catholic, and whose Vice President is "Evangelical Catholic", both of whom were raised strongly Catholic and retain a culturally Catholic identity)
It would be interesting to see how the "Catholic vote" went this election. I imagine it will be similar to how Ohio voted.
The First Shepherd who abandoned his flock was the pope in 1917 who ignored Mary’s demand to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. The 20th century would have been less horible with Stalin all tied up and no Vatican II. We really made some bad decisions in 1917 for which we still suffer the consequences for ignoring God’s Mother.
If he hasnt been excommunicated he is indeed a Roman Catholic. As apostate as the rest of the Roman catholic church to be sure but still a Roman Catholic
You have no idea of what you’re talking about, as usual.
Well that means you’re a Roman Catholic.
