Brown: “I find it totally unbelievable that the same man who commended Biden less than a week ago is now backing off and suggesting concern about Biden's role in abortion.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. (20 November 2020) – American Life League officials issued the following statements today following comments from Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles where he backtracked regarding Joe Biden. Just last week, the Archbishop congratulated Biden who is openly pro-abortion and yet claims to be Catholic. Now, following criticism from ALL officials, the Archbishop is backtracking on his previous statement.
ALL president Judie Brown expressed her take on the comment reversal:
Archbishop Gomez is rolling the dice with the lives of preborn children. I find it totally unbelievable that the same man who commended Biden less than a week ago is now backing off and suggesting concern about Biden's role in abortion. After all, Biden has been a pivotal part of the abortion cartel for the past 47 years! What a sham!
If Gomez is serious, deny Biden the Eucharist now, demand that every bishop concur, and make that demand public. Nothing less is acceptable. Transparency from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is totally lacking. God help the Church, and God help the babies.
We need leadership from our bishops and their flawed, politically motivated USCCB, not gamesmanship!
ALL executive vice president Hugh Brown expressed the mass confusion these actions cause, and in the end, its negative effects on the Church:
Archbishop José Gomez, the President of the USCCB, called the “situation” with Joe Biden claiming to be Catholic while dedicating his life to supporting abortion, homosexuality and death, “difficult and complex.”
Cowards and deceivers find standing behind the truth “difficult and complex.” The USCCB and its hoard of anti-Catholic bureaucrats and wolves in sheep’s clothing have done their best the last 54 years to make the Catholic faith “difficult and complex.”
The USCCB is a sham. It has no authority in the Catholic Church. Conferences of Catholic Bishops were created to give cowards cover and sow the seeds of division and confusion. Isn’t it just astounding, that after spending his entire public life the last 47 years lustfully and enthusiastically supporting death and causing immeasurable harm, that now, the USCCB, after previously scandalously and falsely congratulating the devil’s advocate Joe Biden, they now want to “form a working committee” to study the situation? 47 years of crickets and cowering in dealing with abortion Joe Biden and now they are going to form a working group? There is behavior that cannot be tolerated. In today’s gospel reading, Jesus drove the money changers out of the temple. He did not form working committees. He did not seek the worldly wisdom of a bureaucratic conference. He took direct action. The leadership of the Catholic Church in many places is long dead.
We must pray, fast, and ask the Lord to rise up men after His own heart and to purge His church of the Judas guild.
ALL executive director and STOPP founder Jim Sedlak emphasized that abortion is not a “policy issue”, it is murder:
The leadership of the USCCB needs to understand that abortion is NOT a "policy issue." It is the murder of children created by God—the same God who founded the Catholic Church over 2,000 years ago. The same God they work for. And each child has a specific purpose. The Biden/Harris team has made it absolutely clear that they want to kill as many of God's children as they can. The USCCB's answer is to form a "working group"? Political entities run working groups. True shepherds take immediate actions to protect their flocks—including the preborn members of their flocks. It's time the USCCB took immediate action to protect God's children.

Spineless hirelings all of them.
Socipaths rise to the top of all large organizations.
It has been that way since our distant ancestors crawled out of caves.
Small local organizations are the only ones that can be held accountable—one on one—in their face—screaming if necessary.
JIM SEDLAK....It’s not a policy issue,abortion is murder
Hate to say it, but I don’t trust Opus Dei formed folks to stand up for what is right when push really comes to shove any more than I trust Mormons. This isn’t to say that all of them will cave, but a high enough percentage that I wouldn’t turn my back.
Many of them are excellent, and when it comes to book selection and publishing I don’t think you can beat Sceptre, but in the end the ghost the Spanish Civil War haunts the group, and perhaps Franco as well, and they tend to default to being comfortably right of centre. When centre shifts too far left too many of them don’t know that it is time to reach for the pitch forks for my taste.
Gomez says that the situation with Biden is “difficult and complex.” He should put that hot steaming pile of bull*#@t into his mitre and wear it!
Gomez is my archbishop. I have been to a couple of his pro life events. I think the working group/out reach to Biden is actually more than what his fellow bishops would have wanted in the way of approaching Biden on this. I am glad if the bishops do actually sit Biden down and explain the peril his soul is in. I don’t think they will do it, and I don’t think Biden would change his views, but I think that is what is calledfor— actual effort to reach him and scare the Hell out of him. After that, by all means deny communion to Biden anywhere and everywhere in the US. Also, any Mass he goes to should be preceded by a chat with the priest who will give him one more chance to repent. if he doesn’t like being reprimanded, he will either repent or stop attending, thus clarifying his sinfulness publicly.
This all part of God’s plan.
Biden is a guy who molested his grand-daughter.
Just remember who we are talking about here.
As long as Catholics continue to be worried about only ‘receiving’ the Sacraments the Catholic Church will continue on it’s merry way towards Sodom.
And that includes in giving the tithes. Want to starve the Church? Want to speak the Truth? Starve the Catholic Church of its tithes.
A Catholic can tithe in other ways and still be Biblically correct.
Disclaimer: Was raised Catholic, so I saw first hand how the Sacraments or the withholding of Sacraments can drive normal Catholics to allow anything to be done.
I’m betting he voted for him
