Weaponizing the Eucharist: The bishops, not Biden, cause scandal
We should not tremble before the Eucharist. It is an act of oneness with God and each other that commemorates how God (Father, Son and Spirit) abandoned the Divine nature in the grief we experience our separation from God. The sacrifice of the cross was unitive, not vengeful.
Naumann, Cordileone, Olmsted and Aquila should not be anyone's bishops. Cardinal Sean, call the Nuncio! Their problem with Biden is not abortion per se, it is submission to the conservative Catholic message (which is also ill-informed) on abortion and homoesxuallity. Biden needs to convince the bishops that they are wrong about the law and the moral issues (not the other way around). As for Canon Law, it governs people considered Canon's (bishops), not the faithful. Not Biden, not me, not MSW. Ratzinger's version of Canon Law is Catholic relativism. If it were not so pathetic, it would be funny.
Recent studies show that many are abandoning the Church due to the noise of MAGA Catholics. This is a problem for the hierarchy, not those leaving. How they can confirm this during a pandemic is curious. Still, the MAGA crown is all in on everything Trump. Again, Biden needs to call out the bishops for creating the condition where Republicanism and Catholicism are hand in glove. That they have been is the real scandal. That Biden won't do this is what is regrettable and not good for either the nation or the Church.
