USCCB: 'Faithful Citizenship' Trainwreck | National Catholic Reporter
USCCB: 'Faithful Citizenship' Trainwreck | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Roe v. Wade won't be on any ballots either, but I am sure it is mentioned in the document. Sadly, this just demostrates that either bishops or staff are coordinating with the Republican National Committee on message - a message which only gets out the base vote rather than bringing in new voters. The lack of balance in this draft (which was a pipe dream anyway, actually is better for Democrats, who can more easiliy ignore it. I plan to. I never pay attention to error. For instance, Masturbation. Its perfectly healthy. Denouncing it is also the bedrock of Catholic extremism on sexuality. I agree with MSW, that this document is at odds with Francis' teachings in his U.S. trip and that it should be rejected out of hand. Maybe more liberal bishops on the committee let the drafters go all out so as to more easily get rid of this quadrenniel non-event.
