MGB:_The bishops need to listen to lawyers and politicians in redesigning Faithful Citizenship, especially those who can explain the logic behind Roe.

Gregg believes in dog eat dog capitalism, with no mercy for any family with more kids than they can afford. There is nothing Catholic about that.

The apology is a first step. Returning authority over the clergy to the people is the necessary amend. There is quite a list of Papal Anachronisms that have afflicted the Church for centuries, but it was only given voice in the last two, as my book on Amazon details.

Pandering to the Freedom Caucus goes beyond the Hastert Rule to a Tea Party veto, enforced by primary challenges. Immigration and Impeachment in this Congress both have the same chance, and both involve telling the Freedom Caucus to shut up.

Congratulations to Sr. Norma. I am sure LifeSiteNews is steaming over a Catholic speech having nothing to do with abortion and that makes Trump look bad.

Another pro-choicer has won in pro-life country. This shows that impeachment, even if unmentioned, ”trumps” all other issues. Pro-life Democrats have a huge burden of proof to say what being pro-life means to them, especially in regard to sanctions against abortion. Most Democrats find any sanction unacceptable, period. As for Republican pro-lifers, the rest of us mostly conclude that it is all about Republican electoral politics, another reason pro-life Democrats are considered fifth columnists. They rarely describe any sanctions they would impose because it would not be good for the party. It is how Sarah Palin could run as a pro-life candidate with only a vague notion of what was actually in Roe. When Trump first became pro-life he actually spoke logically about sanctioning women if abortion was being punished at all, which is correct since for abortion to be banned, it would have to be considered infanticide with the killing of a legal person. He was quickly corrected by GOP pro-life leaders.
