Shepherds of the Church: Why the Double Standard?
American Thinker ^ | 02/25/2025 | T.R. Clancey

Posted on 02/25/2025 8:56:27 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Within days of Donald Trump’s November landslide, Bishop Mark Seitz, head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ migration committee, warned that Their Eminences were preparing to “’raise our voice loudly’” if Trump’s immigration policy “’violates basic human rights.’”

This episcopal loudness signals the end of the USCCB’s scrupulously-maintained four-year vow of silence through the entire presidency of the “devoutly” Catholic Joe Biden.

Their silence spoke volumes to Catholics witnessing Biden doing his utmost to wage open war on the most fundamental teachings of the Church. Not only was this “‘good Catholic’” (Biden claimed Pope Francis described him this way during a 2021 audience), the most extreme pro-abortion president in history, but his DoJ used federal law enforcement to imprison peaceful pro-lifers, and target traditional Catholics as “potential domestic terrorists.”

Biden proclaimed “transgender equality” to be “the civil rights issue of our time,” and weaponized his administration to pressure international medical experts to abandon limits on trans surgeries for minors. He transformed the White House lawn into a Pride Celebration freakshow of gender deviants, which went viral thanks to one particularly repulsive “transgender woman” flashing his fake breasts for the cameras.

None of this stirred the USCCB to “raise its voice loudly.”

Now, the Vatican has released Pope Francis's letter empathizing with American bishops “in these delicate moments that you are living as Pastors of the People of God.”

The “delicate moments” of another Trump presidency.

“I have followed closely,” Francis writes,

the major crisis that is taking place in the United States with the initiation of a program of mass deportations. The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.

Follow the money. The USCCB gets govt money for liberal causes like endorsing Planned Parenthood. They don’t bite the Moloch hand that feeds them.

Does UCCSB support the “human right” of free migration into the Holy Land?

The USCCB is a political organization, not a religious one.

There’s absolutely no reason for a truly Catholic organization to establish its headquarters in the capital city of a historically Protestant and now rabidly secular/pagan nation.

IF they could find an ignorant host to fund it, yes, it a heartbeat.... Instead they found the most productive host, the American people... to fund their human trafficking scam...

POX on all of them...

The Catholic Church did absolutely nothing when Biden had the government attack Catholics over their speaking out against a school hiding abuse of their children.

They Catholic Church refuses to follow scripture and allowed the democrats to sacrifice babies via abortion to Moloch and the Church refused to take a stand against world leaders who aggressively promoted abortion AND claimed the mantle of a Catholic while they did it.

The Catholic Church has chosen mammon over God’s law in insisting countries have no boarders, something God has demonstrated time and time again biblically that He supports and the Catholic Church turns a blind eye to failed states releasing rapists, murderers and slavers into developed countries, they claim it is humanitarian but refuse to use any discernment allowing the worst of evils to destroy innocent people, all for money.

The Catholic Church has lost all moral authority in that the leadership has abandoned God’s commands and have placed rapists, slavers and murderers in a higher moral standing compared to the body of Christ only because those evil people are “poor immigrants” who also happen to bring in huge state money to Catholic organizations, literally the Catholic Church steals from the believers countries.

Are you claiming that pappy Francis does NOT collect his share off his human trafficking enterprise? The American people have been forces to pay for this and we the people demand an accounting for this trafficking we have been forced to pay, in blood and money.

Why the Double Standard?

Because the forces of evil ALWAYS oppose the forces of good.

Any excuse will work.

Are some of these bishops in a panic over cutting off their supply of young boys?

My “rightly formed” Catholic conscience says Francis has got to go. I doubt he even wrote that tripe because he’s 88 and sickly.

DEMOCRAT JOE BIDEN and DEMOCRAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
ARE UNREPENTANT GODLESS REPROBATES PREACHING SATAN'S LIES
FROM THE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 FIERY PITS OF ETERNAL HELL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


DEMOCRATS prove every single day of the week that they
are at War with Reality, Biology and Almighty God


All according to SATAN'S plan.

Rainbow White House happened on June 26, 2015



Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this Godless Reprobate Agenda.

I have no idea what that post has to do with my comment — or with anything else on this thread, for that matter.

The title of the article posted Shepherds of the Church: Why the Double Standard?

Your 'response'.... The USCCB is a political organization, not a religious one. There’s absolutely no reason for a truly Catholic organization to establish its headquarters in the capital city of a historically Protestant and now rabidly secular/pagan nation. ,p>

The notion that the religious head as well as the political head, is deaf, dumb, and blind to how it is getting funding, is insane. You would have been consider wise had you NOT felt the need to cover up for these frauds!

I never said that — or even suggested it. So I still have no idea what you’re talking about.

Exactly what do these words mean?
