I think this is just about as plain and honest as you can get. Lots of people need to take a good hard look in the mirror and do some soul searching and self evaluation.   

Time for Bishops to Pick: Unity or Division, Christ or Satan

Catholic bishops in the United States are considering issuing a statement dealing with pro-abortion Catholic politicians and their worthiness to receive the body and blood of Christ in Communion. Recently, the president of the USCCB, Archbishop Jose Gomez, informed Cardinal Luis Ladaria—the prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith—about this. Ladaria then deemed it necessary to issue a statement on the matter.

Into these thorny briars Dr. Monica Migliorino Miller was inspired to wade, and in a very astute commentary she pointed out that sound catechesis for the Catholic faithful was needed on the truth about Christ’s real presence in the sacrament. She concluded: “The bishops, as successors of the apostles, are commission[ed] by their crucified Lord to preach the gospel in season and out. That preaching may require the exercise of discipline. And that moment is now.”

We agree. But we also hasten to point out that faithful, practicing Catholics know that abortion kills people. So seeing their bishops debate whether or not a Catholic public official like Biden or Pelosi should be denied the body of Christ because they support this killing is an absurdity. And it creates confusion everywhere.

Such lack of leadership on so simple a matter baffles the average Catholic. Further, it enables the Catholic in public life who supports aborting children to get away with murder. Nobody needs a college degree to discern the solution to this conundrum.

Involving a Vatican official in a question that has already been resolved by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger—not to mention Scripture—just shows the true nature of what the bishops are doing. They are politicking, and Nancy Pelosi, for one, is loving it........

They've had FOUR DECADES of watching the first Governor Cuomo babble about how the future "quality of life", or lack thereof, is justification for abortion, to all the other Rodent political figures making similar NAZI arguments justifying violating the Church's most sacred creed, and they're only now going to maybe think about debating whether or not the should maybe say something about all the false Catholics inviting them to the fancy dinner parties to give benedictions for?

Those bishops couldn't even decide that priests who diddle children should be kicked out and prosecuted by the law.
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

Bishops value power, status, and wealth more than Church doctrine.

If the bishops excommunicated prominent politicians, more of those bishops would be going to jail for buggery.

The bishops and politicians uphold the same hypocrisy of power that tolerates adulterous and divorced family-value Republicans, like Cheetos Jesus.

The end is near.  Christ or Satan?  Your pick.
