The Democrat policy of open borders is more important to the Catholic Church than standing for life.

News flash to LifeSite News:

Women were getting abortions long before Cuome was even in politics. Even before RvW.

Nobody forces these women to kill their children. They go to the butcher and willfully authorize execution. In fact it is hard to stop them from committing premeditated murder if they don’t want to.

Governor Cuomo can be ex communicated from the Church and thrown out of politics forever, but that will not stop the killing. Maybe it’s time for LifeSite to concentrate their focus where it belongs.

The “retaliation” will come in the form of the Bishop acting against the priest for speaking out.

“Excellency....?”

I thought that shit went out with the Middle Ages. How about “Mediocrity”?

Absolutely.

It amazes me how these Bishops intend to hold average lay Catholics accountable to Church teachings when the wealthy and powerful are always getting a pass.

Dolan is the top guy and he already gave them a pass. He’ll be sitting between Hillary and Cuomo at the Al Smith dinner laughing up a storm.

The good Father is right, for the Church to have any moral and teaching authority it must stringently stand with its teachings.

Church teaching is that homosexuality is against natural law and inherently a grave sin, yet homosexuality is rampent among the clergy and even at the highest levels of the Vatican. Cardinal Mc Carrick, who was a sexual predator for decades and used his high positions in the Church to feed his homosexuality was but reluctantly defrocked while excommunication would have been more appropriate if the Church had any consistency with its teachings.

Given this record it is no surprise that the Bishops, who relish hobnobbing with liberal politicians, can only bring themselves to no more than writing tepid letters of admonishment to erstwhile Catholic politicians who are now openly pushing infanticide.

Abortion is “deplorable” but “to alienate those who publicly disregard the sanctity of life is contrary to a Church that should always be open to receive the repentant sinner,” he wrote.

Where was the repentance? This is nonsense.

Excellent! Good on Father Castronovo! These wishy-washy Bishops must be called on the carpet. It is partly because of them that abortion flourishes...even in Catholic communites.

Unfortunately, his bishop will be shipping him off to some hovel until his indoctrination is complete.
