Looking back at 2020 in the life of the church in the US
The Catholic News Agency, which is fringe, is not to be confused with the Catholic News Service, which is the official propaganda arm of the USCCB. That they sew confusion deliberately with a similar name is all one needs to know about them. The Knights have also become Republican Fringe. God bless Cardinal Wilton Gregory for rebuking their allegiance to Trump's authoritarianism.
Bishops who spoke out against Biden on abortion are either partisan or ignorant of American constitutional law. They feel they have nothing to lose and are retired in grade unless they can hold out longer than the Holy Father. It is now up to Biden to speak for all Catholic Democrats by educating, and if necessary, rebuking them on this issue.
Cardinal Advisor Sean O'Malley should have words with them as well for their partisanship, which Francis has mourned. The Pope's answer to the renegades is not to utter condemnations, it is subtly ending the very concept of the Magisterium. This is in keeping with a true natural law approach - one that does not commit the fallacy of appeal to authority.No wonder the Stoics, who seek certainty, are perturbed.
