United States Conference of Catholic Bishops are creating a hypocritical fake Eucharistic document!

"...single issue US Bishops..."

Catholic Democrats-: An echco opinion published by Catholic Democrats.  Thank you Catholic Democrats.

Maine Writer: This decision by the American Hypocrite Bishops makes my brail boil in anger!  It is time to Tax Roman Catholic Churches because these Bishops are making the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ -the Eucharist- a political statement. You know what? The Bishops may have the give of transubstantiation but they are not Gods.  In other words, "What Would Jesus Do?".

Catholic Democrats "Communion Wars" WWJD? 

Boston, Mass., June 18, 2021 - Catholic Democrats is observing today that the proposal for a Eucharistic document – passed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) yesterday with 73 percent of the U.S. (hypocritical!) Bishops (!?- WWTT?) voting in favor – comes from the fruit of a poisonous tree.

Although the genesis of the proposed document dates back to the emergence of the culture wars in the United States and the related “Communion Wars” of the 2004, presidential and subsequent campaigns, its specific development this year is a result of the election of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. in November 2020. Immediately following the 2020 presidential election, Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez, President of the USCCB, asserted that the election of the first Catholic President since John F. Kennedy would create “confusion among the faithful about what the Catholic Church actually teaches” and he announced the formation of a working group “in order to help us to navigate [the situation].”

“After the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, including worship by virtual Mass without receiving Holy Communion, Catholics have a spiritual hunger for the Body and Blood of Christ. In this regard, a document on the Eucharist that welcomes the faithful back to Church could be of legitimate pastoral value, but within the context of the USCCB’s recent actions, it is not,” said Steve Krueger, president of Catholic Democrats. “Given that the roots of this document are tied to the election of our president and the development of the proposal has included language regarding ‘worthiness to receive communion’ and has ignored guidelines from the Vatican stressing a much more comprehensive process and unity, this proposal is the fruit of a poisonous tree. Prudence can only lead one to conclude that its passage at this time, in this way, has put the church in the U.S. on a dangerous, more divisive path.”

“As an African-American Catholic woman, it is heartbreaking to me that there are so many misguided single-issue US Bishops who reject this teaching moment of racial awakening to address the complex systemic evil of racism in our Church and society,” said Leslye Colvin, a member of Catholic Democrats board. “Rather than use the Gospel of Christ and the teachings of Pope Francis to dismantle the flawed construct of race and advance racial healing, they are blindly taking us down a path that will demean their teaching authority and will only lead to further division within our church. I pray that these men, individually and collectively, will move beyond their certainties and humbly enter a period of discernment inviting the Holy Spirit to move them beyond the duality of our time.”

“It is very disappointing that a majority of the USCCB decided to ignore the guidance of Cardinal Ladaria, the counsel of almost 70 of their brother bishops including 5 cardinals, and the direction of the Papal Nuncio and Pope Francis. The root of this initiative, the lack of process acceptable to the Vatican or conducive to consensus, and the rush to bring it to a vote raises serious questions about what these bishops are really seeking to accomplish. Some bishops told us on Thursday that they know their credibility is at stake. If the USCCB does not want to further diminish its reputation, it should release the vote of each bishop so that American Catholics can engage in dialogue with their bishops and priests on this dangerous undertaking,” said Bibiana Boerio, a supporter of Catholic Democrats who is on the boards of several other Catholic institutions.

“Nothing good can come of this as currently proposed – it will only further division,” said Krueger. “The only rational purpose to this dubious proposal would be to either diminish the Holy Father, the President of the United States, or both. In this regard, the proposed Eucharistic document will only further politicize the presence of Jesus in our lives.”
