When the entire church hierarchy says one thing,
The USCCB represents the official church hierarchy.

Nonsense. Only the obtuse would confuse that collective cabal of navel gazing buffoons at the USCCB with "the entire church hierarchy".

I'll bet you've never read QUOD APOSTOLICI MUNERIS or DIUTURNUM or LIBERTAS PRAESTANTISSIMUM, ad infinitum.

You would be absolutely right, and furthermore I never intend to, and more to the point neither do the vast majority of catholics. If I or anyone else has to dig into latin communications to get what you consider to be the official church stand, then it isn't going to happen. When the visible church hierarchy ie the usccb and the parish priests who dutifully regurgitate the same philosophy come out with their endless support of redistributionism, then to me and 99.99% of other catholics this is the official church stance regardless of what you might think from having read something that probably no more than a couple of thousand catholics in the usa have read. You remind me of the posters who insist that Virgil Goode should get the Republican nomination because he's a true constitutionalist. Technically you might be right, but the reality is that the navel gazers speak with the force of being the church leadership and people consider them to be the official voice of the church.

Actually only the obtuse would fail to recognize that the USCCB has the weight of being the church leadership in the US behind it, and only the obtuse would insist that their drivel has no effect on the bulk of catholics.
