-—These guys never learn. For centuries they’ve been trying to align themselves with power, first with royalty and more recently with the Democratic party. They’ve earned the outcome.-—

The same guys?

What about the bishops in eastern Europe, who defied the communists and helped to bring down the wall?

My point is that there are good and bad bishops, and there always will be.

You feel the Catholic church has not tried to align itself with power? For centuries the church and nobility were aligned and practically interchangeable. Isn’t a cardinal considered a ‘prince’ of the church?

More recently the church has curried favor with primarily the Democratic party in its efforts for social justice.

These same bishops supported ObamaCare. They’ve supported illegal immigration. For decades they made sure non-believers had no access to contraception. Did you know that years ago you could not even buy condoms in some states?

They’ve aligned themselves with power to promote their agenda. Now they’ve been betrayed by the very people they’ve been supporting.
