A new petition from the grassroots, ecumenical, social-justice Christian organization Faithful America has already gathered more than 21,000 signatures, asking Pope Francis to investigate the partisan, pro-Trump behaviour of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
The Faithful America petition was launched on 5 February in support of an editorial entitled, "It's time for the Vatican to investigate the US bishops' conference." published in the American publication: National Catholic Reporter on 28 January.
The first 21,026 signatures have been sent to the Pope's Apostolic Nunciature in DC, as well as to the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations.
Signatories include 28 current or emeritus faculty members of the University of Notre Dame (speaking for themselves, not the university) and approximately 315 Catholic sisters, brothers, and priests. Quotes from several petition signers are included below.
The text of the Faithful America petition reads:
As fellow Catholics, ecumenical Christians, and allies, we write in support of the National Catholic Reporter's call for Pope Francis to investigate the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and its partisan activity.
For years, the USCCB has neglected those on the margins. The conference did not speak loudly during the Trump years even though the president separated children from their parents, eliminated key environmental protections, ignored the pandemic, and brought back the federal death penalty. Whenever the USCCB did manage to speak, its criticisms rarely mentioned Trump by name and did not match the praise he was offered on other issues -- yet the conference has been nothing but critical of Joe Biden.

One thing you can say about the left today... Relentless!
Well, that should roll up those Bishops who actually work for God.
Wait! There are pro-Trump bishops????
Is Susan Rice working at the Vatican too???
My thoughts exactly.......You mean there are decent bishops????
I always leave room for demented as well.
“Faithful America” is another Communist-front group originating in the National Council of Churches and bankrolled by Soros and his fellow atheists.
“One thing you can say about the left today... Relentless!”
They’re like zombies. You cut off their arms, and their arms move forward. You cut off their legs and their legs move forward. You cut off the head and the head rolls forward.
“One thing you can say about the left today... Relentless!”
Satan is smarter than we are, and he never sleeps. Those over whom he has the most influence are like maniacally evil Energizer demons.
Less than 10 who will admit it in public. Check out Father James Altman - outspoken Pro Trump supporter who is in big trouble with his far left wing Bishop.
Father Altman will probably be driven from the church over his support of President Trump.
They must be talking about actual pro life bishops who unlike Francis uphold the Catholic doctrine
How do you explain Yeb?
Fake pope is too busy worshipping Satan in Iraq.
“Faithful America” sounds pretty partisan.
“How do you explain Yeb?”
Regarding his lack of energy?
I don’t know. Maybe Satan has low expectations of him, and doesn’t fire him up.
BTW, did you misspell “hypocrisy” on purpose?
Ha! Yes. That’s our form of government.
It ain’t supposed to be.
Everything went to Hell in a handbasket when they outlawed dueling.
Anyone that signed this petition is not a faithful Catholic and not a faithful christian. They are hard left woke cancel culture catholics in name only like Biden, Pelosi, and countless others that support abortion, homosexual marriage, gender identity garbage and all other manner of sinful deprivations and abominations. Just like the terrible failure of a Pope they sent the petition to who daily says things against the faith.
