Bishops Confirm the Irrelevancy of the USCCB

• 5 years ago

True to form, the majority of the bishops took the safe road today and voted for the formal statement, “Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love, A Pastoral Letter Against Racism.” The full body of bishops approved it by a two-thirds majority vote of 241 to 3 with 1 abstention. Wow, 50 years since the civil rights movement and the bishops have just now realized racism has no place in the Catholic Church and have come out with a pastoral letter against it.

When it came to the heavy lifting the bishops voted down a proposal asking the Vatican to release its records on former-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. It was voted down by 83 to 137. Another wasted bishop’s conference. The bishops would be wise to shut down the USCCB and save themselves further ridicule and embarrassment. Until the silence of the good bishops is broken, the Church is headed for rougher seas. Apparently the wrath of the laity is still not fully being felt by the “leadership” in our Church!
