The US Catholic bishops talk a lot about the decline in religious commitment and the need for stronger religious values in the public square.

Yet prominent Catholics like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis engage in political games of incredible cruelty with the lives of migrants — in Abbott's case, right on Christmas Eve.

While the US Catholic bishops remain totally silent….

It's almost as if their words about declining religiosity and moral vaules are just empty, isn't it?

@wdlindsy Have we heard anything about excommunicating Greg Abbott?

I think not.

@chemoelectric You're right: I think not! Nor will we hear a peep from them, as some of them target Biden and Pelosi.

As a body, the US Catholic bishops have failed in their pastoral and moral charge — abysmally so.

@wdlindsy Anyone can just go to an Episcopalian church instead. I’m not sure everyone’s aware of that. :)

The problem is nobody is talking about Christ, worship, religion nor Beliefs. They're talking politics weaponizing a false doctrine for Earthly power. Picking out verses while ignoring chapters and books. Switching Churches won't stop Fascistic Theocracy influencing government. IMHO

Yes, that sounds right to me.
