I struggled hard to express my feelings about the USCCB's letter regarding Biden's inauguration, in light of the past four years and Trump's warning that if he lost the election "You're going to have a very different Catholic Church." Here is what I wrote: sacredheartuniversity.typepad.com/go_rebuild_my_

I'd answer, yes, "the bishops themselves had created confusion among the faithful about what the Catholic Church actually teaches." But I wonder why. Is it an honest mistake on their part?

You can be catholic and still be pro-choice. Supporting others right to choose does not mean you have to do it yourself. The church has changed its stance over the years on when life begins (birth or conception) and I feel that one’s belief should not dictate others actions.

I was brought up as an evangelical. But I think the same questions apply. Can one support a President who instituted child separation, the Muslim ban, supported the war in Yemen, told over 30K lies, & downplayed COVID bc of political concerns & still be considered “pro-life?”

How long before the American Catholic Church no longer looks to Rome and Il Papa?

I used to be a Roman Catholic. I'm recovering from the likes of these Bishops. I find to be closer to what I was taught as a Roman Catholic then the Bishops.

This is exactly the feeling I have struggled to put in words. I have had the very people that have taught me my faith tell me I'm a bad Catholic for not supporting a sociopath. These articles keep me grounded in my faith.
