Hopefully he will get just as angry and will make the same pronouncement against pro-abortion and pro-sodomy politicians.

(No, sadly, I'm not holding my breath)

I was hoping this was about the “Gay Mafia” within the Vatican II Church.

Silly me.

How about the Pro-Aborts, the entire democratic party, for example? They’re flaunting their murderous and bloody ideas in his face, and there’s no reaction. Disgusting.

If only. They do far more harm than the bloody Mafia.

Agreed. He won’t utter a peep against them. Mafia is an easy target. The New World Order, not so much. They are far worse than the Mafia by orders of magnitude.

The funny thing is that if he was to do so, there would be a massive barrage of press appearances by the USCCB hierarchy to explain that "he didn't really mean" what he said.

Meanwhile, bishops like Wuerl would discipline priests who actually took the Pope seriously and denied communion to pro-abort politicians.

Give this poster a gold star. You hit the nail on the head.

I also wonder whether this was more a move as the "Bishop of Rome" vs. the "Pope" since it was only the Mafia in Italy.

If that is true, the Catholic Church in the US is complicit in the crimes of the politicians and the agents of death and sodomy that the politicians promote.

When you see that more than 50% of the RCC USA and more than 50% of self-identified “Evangelicals” vote for the commie baby murderers and sodomites, you realize that the Church, overall, in the USA is in a very bad condition.

the official noted that "the church has never excommunicated a mobster."

Certainly not the Kennedys.

If?????????

Do you not recall Cardinal McCarrick suppressing a letter from Cardinal Ratzinger (when he was Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) regarding pro-abortion politicians receiving Holy Communion? In a deliberate attempt to protect the 2004 candidate, John Kerry, from the impact of that letter?

I wouldn't say "the Catholic Church in the US" -- but I would say that the USCCB Hierarchy, the USCCB staff, and a significant percentage of US bishops ARE very complicit.

I know some Latin American missionaries. They are here to reach the Spanish and Portuguese speaking people. One of the things I’ve seen is that people who are here illegally, after being converted, become convicted by the Holy Spirit and either return to their nations of origin or turn themselves in to pay the fines and try to make things right. I’ve seen this several times already.

And because these missionaries also speak English, and several other languages, they are reaching indigenous Americans as well as other people groups.

So please, Columbia, Brazil, Chile, SEND MORE MISSIONARIES!

I’m not a big poper, but the Mafia has kept Sicily in a 3rd-4th world status for a long time. In that respect just like the Taliban.

And all those living unrepentently sodomite lives.
