Cardinal DiNardo: Show me the money!

“Let’s face it. America’s Catholic bishops have opposed Donald Trump ever since he declared his candidacy three years ago.”

Pedophiles and communists.

I can't wait until that wall goes up and they're totally cut off from their slush fund.

[Salvation]

Not all Bishops fit this category.

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.

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.
