How do you explain bishops who continue to allow pro-abortion candidates to receive communion then? Or the fact that the USCCB continues to help support pro-abortion agencies?

Actions speak louder than words.

I'm going to disagree with the portions not stricken. The Catholic church has constantly and consistently behaved as though it doesn't have authority (in my lifetime), specifically with respect to disciplining people in political leadership positions: Nancy Pelosi, a huge number of the Kennedys , and more. Yet what has the Catholic church done to punish these political elite? Nothing. Certainly nothing that would cause them *gasp* discomfort.

Thank you, but the key word is faithful. I have several relatives whom are C&E W&F catholics, not even cafeteria catholics (Yes intentionally lower case.) My oldest niece and nephew went to Catholic schools. They see nothing wrong with abortion.
