Good luck with that.
To be fair, LOTS of people misunderstand what the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is. It's just the entity that gives the Bishops organization. The USCCB doesn't have power over the Bishops - each Bishop has control over their own dioceses.
And the @USCCB doesn't do things like endorsement. Furthermore, while the coward in the White House may choose to ignore him, #PopeFrancis is the ultimate authority over the Bishops. And let's just say we don't think he's down with this idea.

"The best way to dominate and gain control over people is to spread despair and discouragement, even under the guise of defending certain values."

Just digging into #FratelliTutti - but of course, this resonates.

vatican.va/content/france…
"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. Image
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 Image
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 Image

From today's Dear Prudence column.

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." Image
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.
