ABOUT TIME THE CHURCH SPOKE UP
He’s a fake Catholic.
You don’t define yourself as a devout Catholic. That’s God’s call.
And a bit of hypocrisy on Cardinal Gregory’s part.
He is actually Biden’s bishop, being the head of the diocese of Washington. He does nothing when “Catholics” such as Biden, Pelosi, etc. support and conduct abortions and have their federal agencies persecute Catholics and the practice of their beliefs.
Gregory was never kind to Trump as President even though he fought abortion and advocated Christian principles, like observing Christmas.
Excommunicate the geezer!
ROFLMAO. Impossible. Russia is full of Muslims.
Indeed.
When Wilton Gregory is attacking you from the RIGHT ... it means you're not just out in left field, you've jumped the fence, climbed the stands, and leapt off into the parking lot ...
Amen.
Amen!
I'm tired of the arguments "He's excommunicated automatically", or "It wouldn't do any good ... he doesn't care".
It would encourage We the Faithful that our alleged spiritual leaders actually take The Faith seriously.
Wilton Gregory isn't a leader. He holds the office of a leader, and wears the insignia thereof ... but HE DOESN'T LEAD.
The power (and responsibility) to excommunicate lies with the individual's bishop. Recently, most bishops (like Archbishop Cordeleone of San Francisco in the case with Pelosi) announce that the person is not to receive holy communion. Politicians like Pelosi simply skirt this by finding a Woke priest not under the jurisdiction of the bishop to give them communion--which places her in a state of mortal sin.
The last time I can recall a bishop flat out excommunicating a politician was a few years ago when the previous bishop of San Diego excommunicated an openly pro-abort politician running for mayor. The move backfired in that it generated a large "Sympathy Vote" for this guy which enabled him to win the election.
The head of each diocese can excommunicate, a bishop, archbishop or cardinal. Also the pope. No pope has had the balls to say if you fund, support, perform or have an abortion you are excommunicated.
2-3 Years ago Pelosi was banned from communion by the archbishop of SF her home diocese. 3-4 months later she went to Rome to kiss the ring and they gave her communion. Biden says his Bishop says he is a good catholic.
True words, for certain. You could be an atheist & still attend Church regularly. Of course, if an atheist did this, the hope would be that it would eventually influence his decision to be an atheist.
Maybe there’s hope for the African Queen after all.
