Get vaccinated against lousy Communion arguments at US bishops' meeting
In Louisiana, the politicians had a right to process. No one is suggesting that Biden, or anyone else like him (or me) get any process. The Republican bishops fear process because it would force them to face the fact that their views are both corrupt and wrong. Biden's opinion has nothing to do with the legal status of abortion, which in the United States, is not legislated. There is no matter of any judgment, prudential or otherwise, on his part.
Personal rights mean the issue is beyond legislation. Argentina, and Latin America as a whole, do not recognize that right - although the times they are a changing. On gay marriage too.
There is intrinsic evil regarding abortion. Denying the poor a living wage is both evil and within the power of the Republicans to do. It is incumbent on pro-life bishops to point this out in the strongest possible language. Also, Roe is not going anywhere. To say otherwise is unserious.
As far as right wing bishops and media, nobody really cares what they think outside the echo chamber. Paying attention to them gives them power. Cardinal Sean, call Rome. It is time for Gomez to retire.
