Bishops have been on a losing streak in U.S. political arena

Not all. It’s a shame that 95% give the other 5% a bad name.

A couple of years ago our parish priest told us he'd received a letter from the bishops he was supposed to read in his homily. It was about fostering illegal immigration.

He then said the letter neglected to explain how this was fair to the people who immigrated legally. It also neglected to explain how it was fair to people who lost their jobs to illegals. It also didn't address how many illegals could be absorbed before the economy collapsed and everyone suffered. Pretty good stuff.

That said, the USCCB and this new Pope have convinced me to leave the Catholic Church.

From what I have read, there is still a LOT of anger even years after the horrible sexual abuse scandals.

This is why I was never a fan of these bishops conferences to begin with.

I just saw this very simple, effective and jaw-dropping graph over at the Cardinal Newman Society, and wanted to post it someplace where I would not lose it, so here goes:

The original is here at Cardinal Newman Society, scroll about halfway down

I think it's relevant to this thread because it shows a precipitous losing streak for Catholics in the U.S., starting way before the USCCB's present reincarnation as the Democratic Party at Prayer.

Couldn't be clearer that the precipitating catastrophe was Vatican II. The rest of the indicators go straight down the slope from 1965, which was the closing year of the Second Vatican Council.

.....St. Therese of Lisieux, pray for us.

Thank-you for posting the graph and I agree with your comment about the Second Vatican Council and it effects.

The “Uncle Teddy” McCarrick Case

From the link in post #28:

And the chances of the “gay friendly” occupant of the Chair of Peter giving McCarrick a choice between defrocking and a life of permanent penance at a traditional monastery constantly surrounded by two monks, one on either side, to monitor the cardinal’s every move lest he attempt to seduce other clerics, is very slim indeed.
