T he Bergoglian bishops have one consistent motivation: money and power. They were silent before because they were sponsored by the government on the condition that they pander to the woke Left, and they are shouting now because Trump has cut them off and unveils their intrigues. This is typical of mercenaries, “who do not care about the sheep” (Jn. 10:13).
If the USCCB truly is not concerned about getting government funds and cares only about charitable works, it will have no objection if the President orders a forsensic audit to find out how the funding it has received has been spent. At that point – we can be certain! – what we have seen so far will seem like negligible trifles compared to what will emerge.
The USCCB is a body totally subservient to the deep church, both in intra-ecclesial relations and in diplomatic and institutional relations with the government. Those in charge of it – encouraged by Bergoglio – are dragging the American Church into a confrontation from which the USCCB will emerge miserably defeated.
