They had a chance to show courage and integrity. There are rules in the Church. Follow them or break them.
Like high school kids are who choose to keep quiet about the narcotics and carjacking rings because to speak out would take courage. Choose one or the other.
Many Catholic bishops and priests wanted to be popular and modern and cool. So loosen up, knowingly let bad things be accepted, and get a lot more money in the coffers and a lot more people coming to church services.
Bad side will be not only the big exodus of people as has already been happening, but the totalitarian clamp downs of the Dems and BLM Communists. The situation in China is extremely similar to the trend for the Catholics here. They are now forced to worship with current Chinese political leaders equally worshipped alongside Jesus and venerated equally to Mary and the saints. Many in China have services in basements. Many priests disappeared. Families are discriminated against for being Christians.
Allowing Pelosi and Biden to violate Church rules and laws is wrong. It feels gushy and cool but what if others ask for divorce, marriage between gays, support for euthanasia and assisted suicide, and Church funding and vans to help women get abortions? Why not? It will be popular and cool.
They are splitting their Church to please the Dems. And by the way, there was a quick crack of the whip over them when the Dems said they could cut off tax free Church status (and fund donations) and Catholic school accreditation if they showed opposition.
Yep! That’s the way it works for communists.
Exactly.
And it was done as an in-your-face to faithful Catholics.
Well said and well reasoned.
Blasphemous.
EXCLUSIVE: New photo shows pro-abortion Biden receiving Damnation this Saturday.
Fixed it.
someone needs to photoshop a fetus pic to replace the communion wafer for him.
RC INC is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet. They plead poverty but can afford 450$/hr lawyers to trash the reputations of individuals abused by their pedophile employees
This cowardly Monsignor is in clear violation of Canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law.
The Catholic Church is a dead relic completely devoid of meaning. Get out of it.>>>
No, I am staying in for the long haul for the one and true church...
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
My father was a staunch Catholic and attended church regularly, but he never took communion... He said communion wasn’t for sinners. He wasn’t much of a sinner, but he did serve in Korea and likely killed a lot of enemy soldiers. I always assumed that likely had something to do with it. Any Catholic that sanctions or accepts abortion should forgo accepting the body of Christ... Or at least be ashamed of doing so.
Then again... Why would somebody attend a church who’s doctrine they disagree with, and why would a priest serve communion to a blatant sinner? Hypocrites.
Who are you to Preach?
The Priest should be removed. Members of the parrish should demand it=or else join a True Catholic church!
Like Judas Iscariot did? No, thanks.
Late and a Catholic lawbreaker!
Sickening
This Pope will wave the holy Hammer and Sickle over his head and grant him an indulgence.
This is simply disgusting.
Where’s the morality within the Catholic Church.
Support them baby murderers/
All I ask is that you love and adore the One who died for you more than the man-made structure constructed around it.
I too grew up in the Catholic Church so I am not trying to be disrespectful. In fact, it is among the reasons I am so harsh about Pope Marx, but please, please make sure you have a deep and direct personal relationship with the One who gave Himself on the cross on our behalf.
“Call to me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things which you do not know.”
Peace.
