US bishop says Trump should concede, as Nixon did with clear voter fraud

'Love of country and not self is patriotic,' tweeted Bp. Richard Stika of Knoxville.

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee, November 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Richard Stika of the Diocese of Knoxville recently denied voter fraud and called for President Donald Trump to concede the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. Days later, the bishop commended Richard Nixon for conceding the 1960 presidential election despite what Stika considers the decisive influence of “deceased” voters in that election.

Stika’s implication that Trump should concede regardless of the credibility of voter fraud allegations is just the latest in a series of apparent shifts in stance regarding Democrat Joe Biden and the presidential election.

'Love of country and not self is patriotic,' tweeted Bp. Richard Stika of Knoxville.

On Nov. 12, Stika tweeted, “So technically we don’t have a President-elect until the states certify the vote and the Electoral College votes. Until now, it’s the national media who have proclaimed the winner. Just saying....”

However, the same day, Stika referred to Biden as a “head of state” in addressing a story about Biden meeting with Pope Francis:

On Nov. 15, Stika praised Richard Nixon for his “patriotic” “love of country” for not contesting his official loss in the 1960 presidential election, despite the fact that “history now tells us” dead voters swung the election in Kennedy’s favor.

Where does this idiot get the expert opinion about the results of the election?

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah.

No.

We did that already.

It seems that way..Nothing but lefties,and gay pedophiles..Let in by the lefties who don;t think raping children is a big deal....

[Irenic]

Concede to a man who most probably should be in prison?

As corrupt as our country appears to be, why does it matter if there’s a dirty, slug fest in the hunt for truth?

[lizma2]

As a Catholic, I agree.

[gov_bean_ counter]

So maddening how so many people don’t understand what is at stake here.

[rollo tomasi]

I hate this historical revisionism, NIXON AND THE GOP DID CONTEST/CONTEND POSSIBLE VOTE FRAUD.

[Hattie]

If Nixon had pursued the fraud of Kennedy and LBJ, we wouldn’t have the mess we have now. We are to stand against evil not run and hide.

[calenel]

Bishops and other clergy are often at the front of the surrender-monkey army.

Nope. Not surrendering this time. And if Bishop Stika *really* thinks Trump should concede, is Stika willing to accept the burden of all the suffering and death that comes with a Marxist takeover on *his* soul? I’m not Catholic, but that sounds like a lot of Ave Marias. Just sayin’.

Are the bears Catholic? Does the pope sh@t in the woods?

Yes and yes.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I’d say that’s pretty much the GOPe position: “Concede for the good of the country...and our defense contractor kickbacks.” :)

Is this one of those bishops that engages in faggotry in secret ?
