Did Cardinal Dolan stop stroking Trump for long enough to sign?

fascismfighter99.bsky.social•3 days ago

I read over the doc, and it seems very concrete. I pray that justice prevails, in spite of the rigged system that is being set up.

donm61.bsky.social•3 days ago

Amazing, and remember the cardinal of NY laughing it up with the felon/sexual abuser at the fund raiser in the fall? I guess the church is now in the find out phase too. They can get at the end of the line

thinman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Didn’t the Catholic Bishops tell their congregants not to vote for Democrats . . . because of the abortion issue?

jenneryn.bsky.social•3 days ago

Money.

jmontoney.bsky.social•3 days ago

I absolutely love this.

scout0914.bsky.social•3 days ago

It looks like Catholics are doing more for refugees than White Evangelicals. And to think that Jesus was a refugee! Guess who is going to have a rude awakening when God calls them home ...
Matt 25:41-45

Dear Catholic Bishops,"NOW you decide to follow the teachings of Christ? A little too late."
Signed, An ex-Catholic

vivienleigh39.bsky.social•3 days ago

Omg, this was my exact thought when I heard this news this morning. The next thought was "welp, watch the evangelicals jump on them for being 'woke and not true Christians' ".

All of which will just make me laugh. FAFO, Catholic Bishops!

harrylym.bsky.social•2 days ago

More rejoicing in heaven...

msdobalina.bsky.social•3 days ago

Full props. But I don't see where white Evangelical protestants joined them. Did I miss something?

noticingnow.bsky.social•3 days ago

Amen. I hope it’s the first of many.

satiricalplanet.bsky.social•3 days ago

America 2025: Trump rules, Musk controls information, and democracy is crumbling. Protesters fight back against billionaire tyranny, surveillance, and injustice. The future isn't theirs, it's ours.

The Catholic Council of Bishops are almost as MAGA as the evangelicals.

monkeebread.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are you referring the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops?

The number of American bishops who are conservative is shrinking. With each retiree and new bishop appointed by Frances, the group becomes less conservative.

Five years ago, I doubt this lawsuit would have been filed.

jupiter8088.bsky.social•3 days ago

The bishops can welcome the illegal invaders into their homes and pay their way. We are full.

spechpolis.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is anyone counting all of the money being spent by the federal government on lawsuits - given the whole idea is to cutback on waste, abuse and fraud? DOGE takes a hammer to everything w out any homework to actually have a rationale. This is going to end up costing lives and resources!

lynn0908.bsky.social•3 days ago

Any savings would already be gone. The lawsuits, the stop and start of work. They have wasted millions of our money.

veracitas.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm telling you, the Vatican is about to get tariffs!

jupitess.bsky.social•3 days ago

I dont think the things the Vatican exports have monetary value, if Trump tries to tariff spiritual value, his base will get their panties in a twist!

jkocd21.bsky.social•3 days ago

🤣 Rosaries and vials of holy water are going to be unaffordable now!

bpaige.bsky.social•3 days ago

The more the merrier

Proving even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

imcaitlintho.bsky.social•3 days ago

Considering Vance just posted to Twitter with a passive aggressive dig at Pope Francis being sick in the hospital, this should be an interesting event.

jupitess.bsky.social•3 days ago

I sure hope Pope Francis excommunicates Vance! That would be hilarious and it would be well deserved!

imcaitlintho.bsky.social•3 days ago

Me too! But people that claim to be religious and a Trump fan won't care. They are too far gone already. They will all burn in hell, it's all good.

gritpump.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wanna see the Pope excommunicate Shady Scams Vance. 😏

monkeebread.bsky.social•3 days ago

He what?!?!

imcaitlintho.bsky.social•3 days ago

peteman115.bsky.social•3 days ago

Good! I wonder if my pastor will ever speak up.

wellthatdidnotwork.bsky.social•3 days ago

That means nothing . Trump gets sued all the time and he delays. Is this an honest attempt to protect refugees?

fitzie05.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Catholic Church supported the Felon based on one issue, abortion. And is now crying about how awful he is. This is on YOU. You are getting what you voted for.

kristileequeen.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you, Catholics 🙏🏼

sharonpo08.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's about time they get their courage. Maybe they need to speak up on all the ways this administration is in conflict with the USCCB's policy positions!

socmediarefugee.bsky.social•3 days ago

That Jesus sure was radical.

trumpster1776.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cut any and all taxpayer money goes to these NGO’s .

katefromnyc.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am old enough to remember when Cardinal Dolan yukked it up with his bestie Donald Trump at the 2024 Al Smith dinner.

The Catholic Church owns this as much as anyone.

25-oclock.bsky.social•3 days ago

📌

mkorolden.bsky.social•3 days ago

So, the Bishops are in the “find out” phase. They could have prevented this. They could have supported a policy platform that was closely aligned to the totality of Catholic Social Doctrine. Instead, they called for Barabbus and now won’t even get their 30 pieces of silver.

leefryer.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm thankful for all the voices speaking out against this administration. We need everyone to come around and join the opposition - including or especially those who were supportive before.

saltpotatoes.bsky.social•3 days ago

All those Woke Catholic Bishops.

mir-scs.bsky.social•3 days ago

Perhaps they shouldn't have supported him.

darthd00bius.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe they shouldn't have worked so hard to get him elected.

charlessumner-rino.bsky.social•3 days ago

JD Vance, with all of his vast knowledge of Catholicism probably is really upset with those bishops delivering a different message than his

digitaldesert.bsky.social•3 days ago

Vance: “I read Taylor Marshall tweets therefore I am more Catholic than the Pope”.🤡

jmwallach.bsky.social•3 days ago

He went to four latin masses while these so called bishops don't even move diagnoally.

laurenkarch.bsky.social•3 days ago

I knew they'd get me back for all the times I prayed for them at my ex's church!

ceilingcat.bsky.social•3 days ago

But they love him

coachdondelotell.bsky.social•2 days ago

These are the same Bishops who told Catholics to vote Trump/GOP back in November—I’m a Vatican 2 Catholic and never voted for what the Conservative Christofascist wing was pushing in the USA—FAFO

mickeymvt02.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes!!

missphosphorus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh, he's definitely going straight to hell with little JD.

cindyhoohoo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Divine Intervention? God is pissed!

Let’s hope God is on their side

The World needs to sue Trump into non-existence

gracemw7.bsky.social•3 days ago

being that i once was one and knowing how corrupt that church is and knowing how biden secretly funneled money to the pope and catholic charities..which btw, NO ONE will ever trust again as they trafficked women/children via monies into sex/slave trades...

springforward1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Get in line Bishops and let the Pope sue him, it might get more sttention

lmfiore.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes! I've been calling the USCCB and CRS with this recommendation. They can't ask donors for more resources until they try to hold the administration accountable.

skinnygrunt.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is a bishop going to withhold communion for Vance?

npitchford.bsky.social•3 days ago

Excellent.

realist3.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Catholic Bishops who supported Trump because of his anti-choice propaganda?

oscillation.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, them!

elenaexisting.bsky.social•3 days ago

I love that they were able to slip in a (very recent) quote from the Pope.

goodygoodytwoshoes.bsky.social•3 days ago

BLOCKED

fair-play-for-all.bsky.social•3 days ago

Something fishy - that’s not the vibe of that account.

goodygoodytwoshoes.bsky.social•3 days ago

Where were they during his campaign? Oh, I know. They were organizing robocalls to Roman Catholics, telling them that they needed to vote for the candidate opposed to abortion.

jkocd21.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hmmm, would these be the same Bishops who urged Catholics to vote for Trump to save babies from abortion?

g1itter.bsky.social•3 days ago

oop the bishops heard what the pope said loud and clear, good on them

retjudgetrish.bsky.social•2 days ago

I love it when the Catholic Church does something good and decent.

arreff.bsky.social•3 days ago

What lit the fire under their cassocks?

pepperjackcheese.bsky.social•3 days ago

When will Vance be denied communion?

tresjely.bsky.social•3 days ago

In what damn timeline have I stepped into where I support a catholic organization suing the government? Jeepers.

bluarepawerewolf.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm not sure if I should just be glad they're doing anything to counter the Orange Horrorclown administration, or ask, "Great! Where was this energy when it became clear people were leaving because you shelter and protect pedophiles?"

tweetintheblind.bsky.social•3 days ago

Additionally, GOP Jesus to defend Trump in court.

lookforsun.bsky.social•3 days ago

How much money did those same bishops contribute to the Trump campaign?

straydogstrut.bsky.social•3 days ago

To my former faith leaders: too fucking late. You knew this shit was coming you fascist collaborators.

shannonfreshour.bsky.social•3 days ago

Friendly reminder, SCOTUS religious affiliation make-up:

6.5 of 9 are Catholic (most of them bad, terrible, no good, full-on blaspheme Catholics, but still papists nonetheless)

kusydog.bsky.social•3 days ago

What is half a Catholic?

algoresmilkymams.bsky.social•3 days ago

gorsuch married an episcopalian & attends his wife's church.

nonmipiace.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are they papists if they do not acknowledge the authority of the pope?

wednesday284.bsky.social•3 days ago

Cool, pile on!
Trump will be trying to get the Pope Fired!

alexkrasnov.bsky.social•3 days ago

I can’t wait to hear maga complain about the woke catholic bishops.

oscillation.bsky.social•3 days ago

Complain about the “woke USCCB,” which will be a special type of freakshow, in and of itself. Doesn’t the Vatican already view the US Conference of Catholic Bishops as a bunch of zealots? I kinda want to set up an X account to see trad Catholics weirdos losing their minds over this.

teencybeand.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe, but the USCCB blames the nuns for being too radical. You know, fighting poverty and social injustice and all. I certainly don't think of the USCCB as a bunch of zealots, if they were, they wouldn't have whomped on women as pastoral coordinators that ran parishes where priests were/are scarce
