Are The Majority Of US Bishops Pro-Abortion?

That question above is not facetious.  I am quite serious when I ask that.  Consider the following.

While Mark Houck's situation continues to develop, we are learning of yet another antic by Federalized Bullies for Intimidation (FBI).  Brian Gibson, director of Pro-Life Action Ministries, revealed to LifeNews that FBI agents harassed two of his team.

Recently Michael Hichborn of the Lepanto Institute released a report revealing the overtly pro-abortion activities of Faith in Action, a recipient of CCHD grants totaling $500k.  I said "overtly" because Faith in Action is quite blatant about their support for baby-slaughter, their displeasure at the Dobbs ruling, etc.  I needn't rehash the report, but suggest that readers study it.  When I started looking at the recipients of CCHD grants, I wondered how the CCHD could be so negligent as to give Catholic money to organizations despite their pro-abortion leanings.  Now I realize that CCHD gives them money precisely because they are pro-abort.

Four years ago I chronicled the Archdiocese of Washington's weird attitude towards local grassroots pro-life activists.  The steps they took against us did much to undermine our ability to save lives at the various abortuaries within the archdiocese.  At the time I thought they were being incredibly stupid.  I no longer believe it was stupidity.  A few months ago, when the Dobbs decision nullified Roe v Wade, the reaction of Cardinal Gregory was somewhat less than jubilant.  He said a few laudatory things about it, but then segued immediately into a "seamless garment" soundbite.  He blathered on a bit about "ending divisions" more so than ending the slaughter of millions of babies every year.  News flash!  As long as evil exists in the world, division is not only inevitable.  It is absolutely necessary.  Under no circumstance can we seek unity with those who espouse such monstrous, barbaric evils.

All these things, by themselves, don't seem that indicative of much.  They do when considered in their totality.

The black BLM racist, Wilting Gregory, who has been promoted to the college of cardinals by Bergoglio, has publicly blasted Donald Trump when he made an appearance at the JP II "Shrine", declaring, "I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings"; yet Gregory has instructed his priests not to refuse Holy Communion to the most pro-abort U.S. President in history: the ardent promoter of mass infanticide, "Let's go, Brandon".

I would surmise that most Catholic bishops are tied at the hip to govt. handouts. They got a lot of Covid money handouts.

USCCB may be weasels, but they admit as best they can:

https://www.usccb.org/news/2022/us-bishops-pro-life-chairman-affirms-church-teaching-dignity-human-life

…“The USCCB supports legislation that seeks to limit the harm of abortion, including some legislation that includes exceptions. We will continue to pray and work for the day when all human life is welcomed in love and protected by law.

This Protestant has observed that active lay Catholics like K of C guys and pro life activists and stuff are way more catholic than their clergy!

They are all not true to God. They have their own “Bible”

And you have your own, “god”, just like the muslims do.

Good luck with that!

You’re a Catholic if you condemn the ideology and non-Catholic teaching that has been advanced by what Archbishop LeFebre correctly identified as the “Conciliar Church”, which was established by the Satan Council (Vatican, 1962-1965) to REPLACE the RCC. The remnant of the true Catholic Church has been driven into the catacombs as it were, but there are numerous Latin Mass communities around the world where the true Faith continues to be practiced and preached. There’s probably one within driving distance of your home. Check around.

I agree and I am so sad for the Catholics of today. Who do you listen to. My hubby was raised Catholic and he said they never carried a Bible to church or to his school and just relied on the priest for guidance. I grew up in the Lutheran faith and we always carried the Bible and learned from it. There is a difference. The Pope is going rogue.

Pope Benedict refused to give Nancy Pelosi a phot-op when she visited the Vatican.

Bergoglio has give given phot-ops to Pelosi, Biden, Emma Bonino (Italy’s premiere abortionist), homosexual couples, lesbian couples, Raul Castro, etc.
