Our First Anti-Catholic “Catholic” President

[Michie]

In recent days, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago has described the pre-inauguration statement issued by USCCB President and Archbishop of Los Angeles José Gómez as “unprecedented” for what – in any non-partisan perspective – were actually quite temperate warnings to President Biden that the Church will not ignore his departures from clear Catholic teachings. In fact, the Chicago Cardinal has become rather obsessive, tweeting out what some have called a Twitter “storm” about the whole affair.

Cupich’s criticisms of his fellow bishops are themselves also quite unprecedented. Then again, the thing that’s most “unprecedented” – that’s given rise to these recent in-house Catholic squabbles – is the election of a self-described “Catholic” president, who not only believes personally that abortion, gay “marriage” (he performed one as vice-president), transgenderism (“the civil rights issue of our time”), and much more are matters of overriding political urgency, despite the long teachings of the Church and American history. He’s determined – actually seems to be going out of his way – to impose those views. On all of us.

But there’s even worse. As we’ll soon see – I hope to be wrong about this – he and the people he is appointing are poised not only aggressively to advance bad policies, but also to curtail religious liberties where they conflict with the tenets of the Alternative Creed that many Democrats – and not only them – have now embraced. It’s not only going to be the Little Sister of the Poor this time, though they will be back in court again soon. It’s Catholic (and other religious) adoption agencies, poverty programs, hospitals, schools, maybe even parishes or dioceses that are too starkly Catholic.

The Courts or a stray Democrat or so in Congress may stop some of the worst from happening. But that’s a slender hope with so much in play.

Do you think Biden has a chance of being formally excommunicated?

The Church seems to be largely punting on the issue with him and Pelosi etc., where certain conscientious priests politely deny him Communion, but he is able take it when he is around the more liberal parishes in the big cities.

Nope. No excommunication for Biden. Pelosi has been misrepresenting for years.

I kind of expected that. The EO is reticent too, you need to be a heresy leader or something similar to get one. And they are quick to want to rescind it at the first sign of repentance. They have the sentiment about wanting everybody to be saved etc. But I think if the Church really believes in things like Mortal Sin etc. then they should do it ; because, these various politicians seem to be in denial about what the Church's position on that is. But it's like after the Church left the middle ages and Renaissance they lost their courage at telling politicians unpleasant truth.

It’s because they are doing exactly what Scripture warns about. Being influenced by position and worldliness. They are carelessly allowing what the Church teaches against.
