Stay out of it as long as they can? Why ????? To protect themselves? Why stay out of it. Pick a side. Right or wrong. You agree or you disagree. Which is it? Pick a side.
Oh yeah, politics is involved behind the scenes.
“Stay out of it as long as they can?”
Yes.
“Why ????? To protect themselves?”
To some extent, yes. They will not want to offend either side. This has been public now for a couple of days. Have you heard ANYONE in the Church say a single word about it?
“Why stay out of it. Pick a side. Right or wrong. You agree or you disagree. Which is it? Pick a side.”
Lady, you seem so desperate to see this fit your mistaken mold of “politics”. It won’t work that way precisely because this isn’t about politics.
“Oh yeah, politics is involved behind the scenes.”
Nope. This is about Church teaching - and its clarity - about a moral and sacramental issue exclusively inside the Church. It doesn’t have anything to do with a single government - not even the Vatican City administration.
