"Hebda should be advising all his priests to not vote Democrat in the March primary, because the Democratic party's entire platform runs against the Faith and Church teaching, and not because if a priest should do so, he will be caught for supporting with his vote the Party of Death and socialism," he said.

.............................

Considering that the Democrats were in lockstep on the issue of abortion, the theologian took exception to the fact that Hebda was advising his priests to "take a knee" at this upcoming primary.

“..requesting that his clerics refrain from voting in the presidential primary on Tuesday....”

Either stand the f*** up like MEN and vote - PROVE - what you say you believe in, or get the F*** out of the way. Tell the “Abp” to GFhimself.

I was schooled by Priests that had been WWII Chaplains. They had ZERO problem standing up to be counted as Americans and as Catholics.

But yeah, that was a different time. Men were still MEN back then, regardless of wearing the collar.

God bless that anonymous priest. I hope there are many, many more like him.

As expected the media “spiked” this WH message;

Presidential Message on Ash Wednesday, 2020
whitehouse.gov ^ | February 26, 2020 | President Donald Trump Posted on 2/26/2020, 2:02:11 PM by ransomnote

Melania and I wish everyone observing Ash Wednesday a peaceful and prayerful day.

For Catholics and many other Christians, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season that concludes with the joyful celebration of Easter Sunday. Today, millions of Christians will be marked on their foreheads with the sign of the cross. The imposition of ashes is an invitation to spend time during Lent fasting, praying, and engaging in acts of charity. This powerful and sacred tradition reminds us of our shared mortality, Christ’s saving love, and the need to repent and accept the Gospel more fully.

We join in prayer with everyone observing this holy day and wish you a prayerful Lenten journey. May you grow closer to God in your faith during this blessed season.

That’s disenfranchisement by coercion and intimidation. Illegal and unconstitutional.

I thought these bishops had crews of lawyers to keep them from stupid things like this?
