Sometimes, I really wish you’d stop making sense and being right...
But it’s more than that; it’s compromised, liberal Catholic officials, it’s parishes and diocese that don’t practice what they preach - or preach “the World” instead of “The Word”.
They have a duty and an obligation to provide a right road for their “flock” and fall down miserably on the job.
If were a Priest, I’d say it clearly; you can’t sit here and call yourself a Christian and vote for a party that includes the so-called “right” to murder an infant as a no-comprise part of their platform.
I’d take the consequences.
If half the congregation got up and walked out, then I’d say to those remaining “Now you know who your neighbors really are, and what they really believe in.”
I look at it sort of in the Sam Adams vein: “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
” I’d take the consequences.

This would, of course put you in the minority.
