The Clan of the Red Beanie's American Branch Is on the March Against Joe Biden
It takes a lot of imperial gall for American bishops to advise the priests in their dioceses to take an action the Pope has publicly opposed.

The Clan of the Red Beanie’s American branch always has looked hungrily at the rising political power of that splinter of American Protestantism that has attached itself to conservative politics. For a long while, it had its face planted against the showcase window because many of those Protestants also believed the Pope was the Whore of Babylon. Under the papacies of John Paul II and Benedict, the forces nearly were joined, but then Holy Mother Church stood revealed as an international conspiracy to obstruct justice, so that threw a wrench into the works. Now that we have the second Roman Catholic president in our history, the Clan of the Red Beanie (American Branch), which has little use for Papa Francesco, has decided to flex again. ...
The Times, and other outlets, are guilty of hyping this development just a bit. First of all, this is the draft of a letter from a bunch of busybody Pat Robertson wannabes that has almost no chance of passing through the entire USCCB this fall. (In addition, the sourcing on the Times story is embarrassing, far too heavily weighted toward the conservative American churchmen and laity.) Second, until they’re willing to drop the same sanction on politicians who support—or worse, carry out—the death penalty, nobody should care what they think. And third, and most important, it takes a lot of imperial gall for American bishops to advise the priests in their dioceses to take an action the Pope has publicly opposed. If bishops won’t listen to their Pope, why should priests listen to their bishops?
In short, whatever this sizable rump faction of the American episcopate wants to declare, any priest who wants to give communion to Joe Biden should do so freely in the knowledge that the Chair of Peter is behind him. If these people want a schismatic American Catholic church because they’re not riding high in Rome anymore, they should go ahead, show some guts, and declare one. Vatican II declared that the Church was the entire People of God, and a lot of us are tired of being perennially pestered by Papal States nostalgics who dress more extravagantly than Bob Mackie ever dressed Cher.
