On Tuesday, The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article about some of the recent comments made by the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Within days of Donald Trump\u2019s November landslide, Bishop Mark Seitz<\/a>, head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops\u2019 migration committee, warned that Their Eminences were preparing to \u201c\u2019raise our voice loudly\u2019\u201d if Trump\u2019s immigration policy \u201c\u2019violates basic human rights.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This episcopal loudness signals the end of the USCCB\u2019s scrupulously-maintained four-year vow of silence through the entire presidency of the \u201cdevoutly\u201d Catholic Joe Biden.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their silence spoke volumes to Catholics witnessing Biden doing his utmost to wage open war on the most fundamental teachings of the Church. Not only was this \u201c\u2018good Catholic<\/a>\u2019\u201d (Biden claimed Pope Francis described him this way during a 2021 audience), the most extreme pro-abortion president in history, but his DoJ used federal law enforcement to imprison peaceful pro-lifers, and target traditional Catholics as \u201cpotential domestic terrorists<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden proclaimed \u201ctransgender equality<\/a>\u201d to be \u201cthe civil rights issue of our time,\u201d and weaponized his administration to pressure international medical experts to abandon limits<\/a> on trans surgeries for minors. He transformed the White House lawn into a Pride Celebration freakshow of gender deviants<\/a>, which went viral thanks to one particularly repulsive \u201ctransgender woman\u201d flashing his fake breasts for the cameras.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Last October, a survey of Catholic Trump supporters showed an astounding 76 percent<\/a> agreeing with the statement, \u201cI support Trump because of<\/em> his stance on immigration.\u201d Are Pope Francis and the American bishops really telling all these Catholics their consciences are \u201cwrongly-formed\u201d? and their sole recourse is to renounce MAGA and embrace the Left\u2019s disastrous erasure of our national borders?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a grave indictment. Yet, for some reason, Catholic Democrats are spared such pastoral rebukes. On one side we have a formal papal letter effectively anathematizing any Catholic who agrees with deporting illegal immigrants; on the other, an offhand interview remark entrusting President Biden\u2019s intransigent abortion extremism to his \u201c\u2018good Catholic<\/a>\u2019\u201d conscience.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As far as the bishops go, too much of this incoherence is the fruit of Marxist thought prevalent in Catholic seminaries in the 1960s. The USCCB\u2019s one-sided social-justice hectoring exemplifies Herbert Marcuse\u2019s “liberating tolerance<\/a>” — \u201cintolerance against movements from the Right, and toleration of movements from the Left.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Millions of Catholics, watching how their bishops publicly fawn over politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden — whose progressive views on climate change or income redistribution they share — infer falsely that \u201cgood Catholic\u201d and \u201cgood Democrat\u201d are interchangeable. The Babylon Bee<\/em> headline, \u201cPope Francis Announces That God Agrees With Whatever It Is Democrats Want To Do Right Now<\/a>,\u201d has a disturbing basis in reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Trump has emerged as a sort of litmus test to see if people in authority actually have principles. When they become so anti-Trump that they will justify open borders knowing that it includes drug and human trafficking in order to support a Democrat President, they have lost their moral compass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
