You are correct. It’s a public scandal, and Rome has done nothing about it(and with the current Pope, likely won’t for a long time). But it doesn’t mean that the Church’s official teaching supports the Democrats. The Catholic Church isn’t just the reigning Pope, or the local Bishop. It’s a belief that goes back 2,000 years. If the present hierarchy is unfaithful to the patrimony that was handed down to them, it doesn’t invalidate the Faith itself. Judas betrayed Christ. Peter denied Him. But they were both Apostles.
It is the the way the Catholic church operates, and has my entire life, this goes back generations and is not related to this new pope.
Catholic democrats are the Catholic royalty in America.
