And the media looks away

Comment(s) (5) | TrackBacks (0)

It seems to me that the USCCB's statement on Sen. Joe Biden is something rather historic. Has there ever been such a statement on a person who is on a national presidential ticket? This is quite an interesting development considering that in the past that the same types of things said by Sen. Joe Biden have been previously said by countless others with no comment.

As Thomas at American Papist noticed there is pretty much a news blackout on this by the media. Look at this Google news search and only one story talks about the bishop's statement. Maybe this will change as time goes on, but the bishop's statement on Speaker Pelosi got plenty of coverage right away.

Please read my posts at InsideCatholic:

"Yes (the media looks away), nobody even asks those clueless TV pundits, to show Obama-Biden-Pelosi “Popes” in life doctrine, any paper advertising, just THESE three words, for use of laboratory generated embryos:

WOMBS FOR RENT".

And:
"Is urgent to form active committees of concerned Catholics, and send copies of those petitions (for action against disobedience) to the Nuncio in DC, and the Vatican.

Is an urgent DUTY to assuage those scandalized Catholics, tempted to think sacrilege is banal, or, lose their charity to the clergy, by the lack of obedience of those bishops to the Rock-Successor of Peter.

And is not only Canon 915 to be obeyed, without fawning the politicians in power. You can be courteous AND righteous.

We must correct with the same procedure, the spineless-hypocritical attitude of avoiding PUBLIC excommunication, to those already automatically excommunicated by our Catholic Law:
Formal-material cooperators, of the abortion chambers going on full steam".

Cordially

Try searching for - Biden bishops - and you get a few more.

USA today: "Bishops slam Biden over abortion comments"

Its nice to see the adj. "slam" used on someone other thean PBXVI - lol

A Delaware paper has a short and sweet piece HERE: http://www.wdel.com/story.php?id=711658675861

It seems that far fewer bishops are responding to biden than pelosi

That's because Biden isn't as far off as Pelosi.
Biden lacks fortitude but Pelosi, on the other hand, lacks faith.

The bishops are responding because Pelosi and Biden have claimed to say what the Church teaches. In the past, the politicians have just said that they personally believe the teachings of the Church, but they don't want to impose their religious beliefs into politics (which allows for more wiggle room).
Pelosi and Biden have claimed to represent the teachings of the Church. At this point they are usurping the bishops' "job" which, of course, the bishops don't appreciate.

The smokescreen is that people try to make abortion a religious topic. But in fact it is a natural law issue. The fact that abortion is wrong is not a Divine Revelation, like say the Immaculate Conception, but something that easily falls into the realm of natural law, which is something everyone should recognize. The abortion question isn't religious as much as it is a simple question of social justice. The ending of an innocent human life (no matter it be called a embryo, fetus, child, wanted, unwanted, etc. should be recognized by any person. And so the arguement of not imposing a religious belief about abortion on people is moot.

Yes the Greek Captcha is a joke

The Curt Jester

A former atheist who after spending forty years in the wilderness finds himself with both astonishment and joy a member of the Catholic Church. This blog presents my hopefully humorous and sometimes serious take on things religious, political, and whatever else crosses my mind.

Blessed Miguel Pro, S.J.

Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.
