American Bishops Disappoint

60+ articles. Note: Catholic Leadership Critique Rationale

Below is a list of articles on why I am disappointed with the leadership of the American Bishops.

1. They have failed to make any meaningful sexual abuse reforms (18+ articles)
2. They have failed to discipline Pro-Abortion Catholic politicians (12+ articles)
3. They often fail to defend the Faith and Faithful Priests (20+ articles)
4. Their Dismal Response to COVID (20+ articles)
5. They promote illegal immigration, thereby supporting human trafficking, while turning a mostly blind eye toward abortion. (60+ articles).
6. They have funded blatantly leftist, pro-abortion, pro-LBGT, and anti-Catholic organizations for years, especially via the CCHD (Catholic Campaign for Human Development) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS)
