Before you take steps to convert, remember that Jesus had to deal with this same situation in His day.See, this is the type of stuff that the bishops have been doing lately that has frustrated me. The bishops are the ones who are supposed to be holding to the truths of the church and it seems like they're just wanting to do whatever is popular and trendy in the culture, not wanting to ruffle the feathers of the liberal left wing elements in the country.
Because Biden supports abortion and homosexual "marriage", he should not be able to receive communion. Same goes for all other democrat party politicians that claim to be Catholics yet support abortion, but the Bishops won't do that because they are cowardly and because they're no doubt being leaned on by Pope Francis to be more "inclusive" and left-wing.
It's stories like these & the sexual molestation crisis that serve to undermine my faith in the Catholic church and really make me consider converting to Orthodoxy. I know, I know, that's not what people want to hear in this subforum, but it's just me being brutally honest.
He confronted His synagog leaders face up, and explained to them why they were wrong when He was 12 years old, and they marveled at His knowledge.
He confronted them again during His ministry, and this time they took action against Him.
So what we are seeing in this case has happened before now, and will keep on happening until the Two Witnesses come back to Earth, to witness and testify and prophesy to the Kingship of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
So in conclusion, we need to uphold Our Lord, His Way, His Truth, and even His very Life, no matter the cost to ourselves, but still showing respect for the office that a Bishop holds.
If we have the courage to do that, God will sustain us, and we may have a chance to put our words out there, and into the ears that need to hear them.
But please keep in mind that the reason we do this is NOT to promote ourselves, but it is done for two reasons, and those reasons only:
1. That Truth might be upheld.
2. That souls might be saved from the plans and snares of satan.
