The sky is clear with soft clouds, and the text reads: "...His Mercy Endures Forever...". The scene is serene with greenery at the base of the statue, evoking a Catholic pilgrimage site."

On Being Catholic – Your Way

The problem with the Catholic Bishops endorsing President Biden while Biden supports and endorses abortion is caused by the cafeteria Catholicism now generations old. A refusal to teach the faith to the past generations has led to a reluctance to choose the faith today, let alone follow it.

A Moral Quandary

Can Cardinal Archbishop Gregory (who has been confrontational to President Trump over alleged racism) make a confrontational pro-life stand against the fervent support of abortion and public funds for abortion supported by Biden and Harris?
