Our Bishops Are Ever Profiles in Cowardice
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Accident.
Attack.
Oh….it’s all the same.
Time to use a Hillary Clinton euphemism; “What difference does it make anyway?”
How strange.
An accident is when you hit the first barricade and stop.
Attack?
If that man was fleeing from the police due to an earlier incident and ran the parade goers down as if there were only orange road cones, well that’s one hell of an accident.
He attacked them as they looked on him in horror.
Accident? Coming from a group of men who can’t agree that abortion supporting politicians shouldn’t receive the Eurchrist until they repent…well. it makes perfect sense now. Cowardice be thy name.
A broken Thanksgiving for the families that were affected by this attack. God have mercy.
Oh gee.
This story doesn’t fit the liberal narrative. I guess if we give the MSM enough time they will glorify, twist and spin this man in handcuffs
into hero status so that their narrative can march forward.
Too bad he wasn’t a cracker ..huh.

The USCCB serves no useful purpose related to what should be the one and only job of a bishop, i.e., to shepherd his flock toward eternal salvation in Christ. National councils of bishops should have been suppressed the moment they appeared on the scene. There may be an argument from economies of scale concerning purely administrative functions, but even that means a bureaucracy, with all the dangers posed thereby. See, e.g., the Roman Curia. One of those should be enough, IMO. De-centralization of authority may be recommended in some organizational contexts, but it seems in my view to be contrary to the hierarchy Christ established.
Probably not a bishop(?) but whoever wrote that USCCB tweet has a love for the incestuous Democratic Party and their Media propaganda, and almost surely a hatred of what the Church Teaches I.e Humana’s Vitae.
They’ll remain gainfully employed.
And for that, our Bishops are cowards.
Amen, David WS. And so it has ever been at the USCCB, as far as I can see.
The USCCB serves no useful purpose
It’s a jobs program for twit office-plankton. That’s the sort of person who would view what happened in just that way. The bishops are quite adept at hiring such people. I’m remembering the Bishops of Dallas and San Francisco ca. 2004 managed to employ sock-puppets given to defoliating tactlessness. The one in Frisco was so bad you had to wonder who was the butt-buddy in the chancery who had arranged for the job for him.
There may be an argument from economies of scale concerning purely administrative functions,
Economies of scale means you set up a diocesan comptroller corps whose members serve clusters of parishes, rather than having each parish having a p/t bookkeeper and parishes having a cash accounting system because that’s what the administrator understands. Economies of scale does not mean you create a mess of wheel-spinning ‘jobs’ in Washington so this generation’s Cdl. Bernardin can amuse himself politicking over ‘pastoral letters’ in lieu of actually doing his job. Cdl. Law was a verbal paladin for the unborn; he also signed form letters to retiring priests without reading them. Pretty embarrassing when the retiring priest was John Geoghan.
Art, great point on how to use economies of scale, at the diocesan level.
Also agree completely about “twit office-plankton.” Great label, by the way. 😂
That cabal of navel gazing buffoons couldn’t find their backsides with both hands if you spotted them nine fingers.
Bishops… excuse me… Accident? Accident? Accident my ass!
They only have spine when its coming after faithful Catholics. They comprise one of the largest herds of horse’s asses on the planet.
Simply state “the tragedy in Waukesha” instead of the “accident” and you get no pushback while simultaneously not needing to take a stand.
It’s one thing to be cowardly, it’s another thing to not be any good at it.
United Serpents Conference of Catholic Bishops.
I agree with Guy McClung 100%.

Don: I think you owe an apology to cowards. Even cowards show more courage at times than our feckless bishops who every day show their first goal is to always defend their beloved culture of death Democratic Party. They are democrats first and Catholics last. For 50 years they have sacrificed the unborn while showing their true love is for the Biden’s and Pelosi’s and they hide behind the so called social gospel.
