Just to put a pin in it, Catholic votes for Trump increased in this election cycle. That line about not being alined with any political party is like 😒 for some of these bishops and cardinals.

Well, I mean it's the Catholic church who seems to have a long history with sexual violence, so......

I would be interested in knowing how much of that increase is liberal-leaning people leaving the church. I would have probably described myself as "Catholic" to pollsters in 2016, but not in 2024. For a lot of reasons, including the rightward shift of the American clergy.

It should be noted that American Catholic bishops see themselves as more Catholic than the pope.

Tax the church.

Dolan is not worthy of being our cardinal ! He is a politician not a spiritual leader.

That letter from USCCB…tepid language on migrants, deflecting blame away from the church, and celebrating institutionalized anti-trans bigotry.

hypocrites - all of them.

Cardinal Dolan is evil and has been saying anti-immigrant stuff for years even before he was a Cardinal. He's terrible and an offense to the role he has. He's not even respected by his colleagues in the RC church. Gross man. UGH
