The Catholic Church teaches that there is a distinction between church and state, but not a total separation. Pope Pius IX called it an error in his 1864 Syllabus of Errors to hold that The “Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” Pope Pius X touched on this teaching in his 1907 encyclical to the Church in France titled Une Fois Encore (Once again). Here the Pope addressed the faithful who were experiencing persecution, letting them know that the Church demands of the state “respect for its hierarchy and inviolability of its property and liberty.”

Seems weird for a nominally Catholic organization to give an award to the guy ordering executions left and right
 
Totally agree.

ACLU, I believe one columnist has called them the Anti-Christian Legacy Union.
 
Glad to see Bishop Barron stepping up to honor a great Pro Life Catholic. Archbishop Chaput was originally scheduled but because of covid rescheduling could not. He posted his speech online though…

We’re honoring Attorney General Barr today, and I have a word to say about that. It’s “amen.” I heard him speak at Notre Dame last October, and I was deeply impressed by two things: the content of his remarks, and the fact that he obviously meant them. Throughout my life, the men and women I’ve most admired have all had the same qualities: a thinking Catholic brain, a character of substance, and a moral spine. General Barr has all three. As an added bonus, he’s disliked by all the right people. I want to thank the various and interesting critics of General Barr for confirming me in that judgment.

“Here’s a simple exercise in basic reasoning. On a spectrum of bad things to do, theft is bad, assault is worse, and murder is worst. There’s a similar texture of ill will connecting all three crimes, but only a very confused conscience would equate thieving and homicide,” he said in his Aug. 10 column

“Both are serious matters. But there is no equivalence. The deliberate killing of innocent life is a uniquely wicked act. No amount of contextualizing or deflecting our attention to other issues can obscure that.”

It’s true that ending abortion is not the only Pro Life issue, there are five Catholic non negotiables… abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, and so called same-sex marriage, but it is the most important voting issue for Catholics as our Bishops have said.

Then there is also the leftist ideology threat to religious liberty as AG Barr mentions.
 
Catholic pro-life is from womb to tomb. Abortion, Euthanasia and death penalty.

However, this year the federal government allowed five executions so far. It is uncalled for in the USA. A relative of mine went to get her tubes tied, I disagreed, but her choice. She told me that she had to go early, because they had ten abortions to do that day, and she had to be early.

That was 10 abortion in one clinic, for one day. The federal Government executed five guys this year, and this is alarming because it is more than the last six years.

Doing a tiny math. Lets say, one clinic per state. 50 states, times 10 abortions. That is 500. And that is only one clinic per state. How many clinics do we have?
 
Except there are instances where the Church says the death penalty is appropriate.

There are exactly zero instances where the Church says abortion is appropriate.
 
None of the federal executions that Bill Barr approved meet those requirements.

Those two bishops are far too political and I disagree with many of their opinions.

Barr does not deserve an award. He has turned DOJ into a partisan office of guardian of the president. He is supposed to be the nation’s lawyer; not the president’s lawyer. He reminds me of John Mitchell in 1972.
