In any issue/conflict between socialism and a constitutional republic such as the USA, the Catholic bishops will favor socialism.
Within the SOJ it will be socialism 10x. Bet on it.
That is correct Pinky.
“they are not complying with UN norms”

Eleanor Roosevelt wrote the Declaration on human rights for the UN.
No, she chaired the UN committee that drafted it. As her newspaper columns demonstrated, the writing ability of Mrs. Roosevelt didn’t extend far beyond drafting a grocery list, not that the Universal Declaration on Human Rights is deathless prose. It reads like a letter from the DMV.
