US Bishops Go Catholic, Francis Vetos

When the US Bishops come out with a statement reaffirming the Catholic position on matters, that's a bit of a surprise.

It's even more of a surprise when the Vatican (read:  Francis) nixes the statement.

The Vatican intervened Wednesday to stop the publication of a statement from the U.S. Bishops sharply criticizing Joe Biden’s policies that directly conflict with Church teaching....

...The Pillar, an online Catholic news outlet, broke the news Wednesday that the Vatican’s Secretariat of State had taken the unusual step of nixing the Bishops’ statement to prevent or at least delay its release....

 ...“We have deep concerns about many threats to human life and dignity in our society,” the archbishop notes. “But as Pope Francis teaches, we cannot stay silent when nearly a million unborn lives are being cast aside in our country year after year through abortion.”...

Apparently that's not Francis' actual meaning.  Given his ability to say stuff that means 12 different things at once,....... 

One guess which two Cardinals Judases objected the loudest:

...the statement had stirred up a hot debate among the U.S. Bishops on Tuesday, with objections coming from Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark and Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, among others....

At one time, stuff like 'abortion' actually meant something to Bishops.
