This Vigano stunt has Bannon/Burke written all over it. Never forget that the two have some sort of relationship.
Also don't forget that Bannon is using his bag of tricks to undermine #PopeFrancis. And if course, Burke has made his dislike of the Pope very clear.
So we suspect that they are both back there, hiding in the shadows, manipulating the situation. Connecting these two unholy men.
We don't have any proof of this but these relationships are all known publicly. And the goals of Bannon and Burke WRT Pope Francis have been clear for years now.
Also is it any surprise that this retweet happens on the same day that #PopeFrancis talked about #GeorgeFloyd? No, it isn't. This isn't about Abp. Gregory, for the most part. It's about Pope Francis.

"The organization of societies worldwide is still far from reflecting clearly that women possess same dignity & identical rights as men. We say one thing with words, but our decisions & reality tell another story."
Glad to see but this is true of the Church, too. #FratelliTutti
These two sentences from #FratelliTutti: "War, terrorist attacks, racial or religious persecution, and many other affronts to human dignity are judged differently, depending on how convenient it proves for certain, primarily economic, interests..."
Fr. James Altman (WI pastor), has produced a disturbing video w/RW pol. group, illegitimately smearing all Catholic Dems (2 by name) & even clergy & bishops (@WashArchbishop by name). In doing so he has violated Canon Law & ignored a 1993 Pope JPII directive against such actions.
Fr. James Altman (a pastor) said you cannot be Catholic + a Democrat & that we don't know God, saying at same time (w/smirk) that he doesn't love people in Borneo. Fr. Altman, pls learn the Gospels or perhaps you'd be happier w/ a different job. Bp Callahan @DIOLaCrosse? @USCCB
Won’t share his egregious video but given it's broken thru on social media & RW blogs, we must issue a Public Notice of Canon Law Transgression so all Catholics - including clergy & bishops - learn our pastors should "form consciences, not replace them," as @Pontifex says. @USCCB
The answer to your question, LW, is "because baptism is a sacrament in the Catholic Church and Mass is the way we roll"?
Yes, it's rude for you to skip Mass, even if "Deb" isn't "really religious at all."
We always end up rolling our eyes when people ask Catholicy questions at Dear Prudence.
The eye-rolling comes from the fact that so many of the people who write in with Catholic questions seem to often boil down to something that they could solve with 5 minutes of Googling.
