Newspaper readers and news-watchers these past few weeks have been treated to a running analysis from pundits and reporters on whether Catholic politicians should be under different rules than the other billion less-famous Catholics.

Itā€™s not shocking that The New York Times and their friends think the Catholic Church ought to abandon millennia of moral teaching to suit Western left-wing policies, but a funny thing arises throughout their coverage: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are called ā€œconservativeā€ or even ā€œdeeply conservative,ā€ Pope Francis and President Joe Biden are referred to as ā€œliberalā€ allies, and a discussion of ancient church doctrine ā€” and its 60 years of declining influence ā€” somehow revolves around former President Donald Trump, who isnā€™t Catholic and hasnā€™t said anything about this. . .

ā€œConservative American Catholic bishops are pressing for a debate,ā€ The New York TimesĀ reportedĀ June 14, ā€œover whether Catholics who support the right to an abortion should be allowed to take Communion.ā€

Five days later, after the bishops declined to be cowed byĀ the Timesā€™ completely false reporting, the same writerĀ upgraded the gathering to the laughably false moniker, ā€œthe deeply conservative American bishops conference.ā€ . . .

ā€œPope Francis and President Biden, both liberals, are the two most high-profile Roman Catholics in the world,ā€ the TimesĀ declaredĀ Sunday.

So itā€™s no wonder the left and its defenders and scribes in corporate media donā€™t understand Catholicism. Through the lens of American politics, how could they? But the rest of us ought to understand the danger here isnā€™t that they simply donā€™t understand, but that they seek to undo the barriers and rule over everything. And while the elite class is chock-full of miseducation to be sure, you better believe that more than a few of them know exactly what theyā€™re doing. . . .

How are you praying for unity in the body of Christ? Let us know in the comments below!

The biggest mistake of the Catholic Church is formalism, man made traditions establishedā€¦opening up great potential for secret sexual sinsā€¦caused by..Pope-ismā€¦much like dictatorialismā€¦forbidding priests to marry, nuns alsoā€¦and confessions made to a priest who is not sinless eitherā€¦.only the trinity of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit can bring forgiveness for mankindā€™s sinfulness. All Born again believers in Christ for remission of sins are called the Bride of Christ and Christ Jesus is our Heavenly Bridegroom.ā€¦and Christ came to bring freedom to enter into a marriage on earth between a man and a woman to create a familyā€¦children which are described as..precious blessings to carry on the love and obedience to God. We who are saved, Born again are also called ā€œchildren of Godā€!

So is there any surprise there is so much confusionā€¦when man is choosing tradition over scripture..something we can all be careful ofā€¦.even when Born Again or not, Jesus Christ is the only grace God the Father has chosen to accomplish His Heavenly, Eternal salvation. We have all been given free choice to believe in and receive Jesus as Godā€™s One and Onlyā€¦The Messiah, Savior for the worldā€¦Jesus is also the Only High Priest, intecessor to The Father concerning our sin confessionsā€¦we go to God in His name, Amen!
