One of the things that continually surprise me is that the downstate IL bishops are very good.

Another that continues to surprise me is just how horrible the Iowa ones are.

And this is from the outside listening to friends and family talk. When my MIL was visiting, the local priest blasted this same USSC decision saying it was a “mortal sin”.

I see sadly a lot of division between clergy and lay people.

A priest blasted the Janus ruling -- called it a mortal sin?

Pastoral malpractice, and classic corrupt clericalism. He ought to get a LOT of blowback on that.
