Now that President Biden has been sworn in. Why, even Pope Francis, in stark contrast to his ripping into Trump, has been all grins, smiles, giggles and laughs with his helping hand extended to the new administration. Thank goodness the Vatican and right thinking Catholic leaders stepped in to mitigate any damage caused by USCCB president Gomez's all too harsh statement on Biden's pro-abortion/sex culture priorities. Whew. That was close.
Remember all those old books and movies about how Catholic bishops and popes ever and only cared about sucking up to the powerful lords, princes and kings back in the day? Remember all the stories about how the Catholic leaders preferred a world where God made kings and bishops and oppressed peasants to grovel before them? Remember all those tales about how Catholic leaders were willing to turn a blind eye to, or heck, embrace, the evil as long as they got invited to the next big feast? Yeah, so do I.
I think I'll go and watch The Mission. It's a reminder that only fools trust Catholic leadership when it comes to meddling in the rock'em, sock'em world of earthly politics. Especially during tumultuous times such as these.
