‘Spitting At The Face Of Christ’: Pro-Life Catholics Denounce Bishops For Congratulating Biden
Leaders of the American Life League (ALL), the oldest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the U.S., blasted the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) after they congratulated Democratic nominee Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) for reportedly winning the election.
Judie Brown, the cofounder and and president of ALL, responded in a statement earlier last week:
The USCCB has affirmed what many of us have suspected for many years, and that is that most Catholic bishops have no problem with a Catholic politician spitting at the face of Christ by supporting the vile murder of the preborn. Joe Biden is such a man; he claims to be Catholic, yet he gives 100 percent support for abortion every day of the week and in every manner of brutality against the innocent. The Catholic bishops have erred, and as a Catholic, I am ashamed of them....
Understanding catholicism and still being part of it is spitting in the face of God. Christ's death on the cross allows someone to "earn" their way to heaven, not receive salvation by grace.
Unless the RCC deems someone is “invincibly ignorant”, then they cannot obtain heaven outside of doing the catholic sacraments. A priest decides what is a sin; he determines the penance for those sins, and he actually says he absolves someone from their sins. Unconfessed venial sins gets purgatory and unconfessed mortal sins gets someone hell.
Below is from a catholic site:
INVINCIBLE IGNORANCE
Definition
Lack of knowledge, either of fact or law, for which a person is not morally responsible. This may be due to the difficulty of the object of the knowledge, or scarcity of evidence, or insufficient time or talent in the person, or any other factor for which he is not culpable. (Etym. Latin in, not + vincibilis, easily overcome: invincibilis.)
The tragic thing is that these conservative traditionalist Catholics, when they look at much of the chaos in the professed evangelical churches, are put off. These are people who home school their children or send them to private traditionalist Catholic schools, they have no truck with the mainstream Catholic schools or colleges, that are as liberal as the state and liberal mainstream Protestant schools. They believe in strict heterosexual marriage for life between a man and a woman, and oppose homosexuality and unmarried sexual relations, abortion and euthanasia. They also stand opposed to the Marxist and social justice programmes of their own bishops, and hate the CCM and entertainment going on in post-Vatican 2 churches. They also oppose the earth worshipping environmentalist programme espoused by most Western governments and their own Pope and bishops. To their horror, they see the “evangelicals” falling for these things too.
Don’t see how you can’t say the entire RCC sacremental system isn’t doing just the same Excommunication from such an abominable “church” would be a blessing not a curse.

And wait until you hear what they think of the pope.... .... To take an arguably more germane page from history, John F. Kennedy had to go on television in 1960 to reassure voters that he was not too Catholic to serve as president. Sixty years later, Biden is compelled to reassure voters that he’s Catholic enough. Rarely, in this melee, has anyone paused to ask why Biden’s religion—not his character or morality, but his religion—is an issue in a political system carefully constructed by the Founders to prevent such tests of avowed faith. But maybe someone should.

Quite right Chris GP, on Catholics become Christians, and conservative Christians should ask the question:
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world. ---ESV
Should Christians try to force the kingdom on others?" https://tinyurl.com/y576t94t
These dear traditionalist Catholics need to give up on their church, embrace the gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone for the glory of God alone according to the Scriptures alone, with the Lord Jesus Christ as their sole Redeemer, Mediator and Advocate, and be born again. These are lovely people who have rejected the liberalisation of their church since Vatican 2, and this globalist, Marxist, environmentalist, interfaith, Pachamama worshipping Pope and all he stands for, but now they need to see that traditionalist Catholicism is not the answer, only the true Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His Holy Word. Dear Mary will not save them, nor the saints, nor church traditions, nor their own works. Pray for them, they need to cling to the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
