US Bishop Tyler makes a public statement relating to the recent US election

[Rockoh22]

All bishops oppose a abortion, which is something none should have to.

This might have to be re assessed during Biden presidency. Take the Democrat positions against our Morals, and we read this in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

2286 Scandal can be provoked by laws or institutions, by fashion or opinion.

Therefore, they are guilty of scandal who establish laws or social structures leading to the decline of morals and the corruption of religious practice, or to “social conditions that, intentionally or not, make Christian conduct and obedience to the Commandments difficult and practically impossible.” This is also true of business leaders who make rules encouraging fraud, teachers who provoke their children to anger, or manipulators of public opinion who turn it away from moral values.

2287 Anyone who uses the power at his disposal in such a way that it leads others to do wrong becomes guilty of scandal and responsible for the evil that he has directly or indirectly encouraged. "Temptations to sin are sure to come; but woe to him by whom they come!"90

The bishop did not lie

Then I am glad I didn’t say that he did!

I am still open to any indication of where the USCCB committed the action that Bishop Strickland mentioned in his logically questionable tweet. So, here is what the USCCB actually said about what abortion means in this election

The threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life
itself, because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, and because of the number of
lives destroyed.

They also said it was the “preeminent threat.”

In light of this where did they support Biden, much less do so in unison with Planned Parenthood?

This might have to be re assessed during Biden presidenc

I do not think that will ever happen. Ever. The Church has not changed its stance on abortion if far more liberal nations because it is a doctrine based in truth.

I agree. But that is not what I am saying that needs to be reassessed. I mean that Biden uses his I am Catholic a lot. And he defends a woman’s right to choose. We know what that means. And it creates scandal. A pro-choice Catholic with the power at his disposal in such a way that leads others to do wrong.

So the Bishops will now have a lot of pressure to either correct those who criticize Biden, or they will have to do something about Biden. But letting the flock be divided by scandal is not a good thing.

I will look for that to happen if he signs legislation that expands abortion. I say “if” because I lack the ability of prognostication.

You asked if he lied, why ask if you thought he was truthful?

He said

in support of a Biden-Harris administration that supports the slaughter of innocents by abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy

You confuse pre-election support with post-election support of the administration

The Church has not changed its stance on abortion if far more liberal nations because it is a doctrine based in truth.

It isn’t just abortion anymore, especially with the multiple anti-Catholic policies of the Democrats

I will look for that to happen if he signs legislation that expands abortio

He does not have to sign legislation, he will immediately expand abortion in the world by canceling the Mexico City policy

You asked if he lied, why ask if you thought he was truthful?

I also did not think he was truthful. The problem with splitting hairs is that it is usually done with a two-edged sword.

You confuse pre-election support with post-election support

If that is what was meant, that there was a letter congratulating him on his win therefore, like GW Bush, he is in unison with planned parenthood, that is the single, most inaccurate use of the word ever. “Like lynch mobs of the past the bishop lives in Tyler” sounds stupid enough, but if it were phrased to be “in unison with” it would be a horrible thing to say.

Try sing a song in unison with another where you only hit one note on one word the same. That is not what “unison” means. It is not unusual to congratulate the winning president. Is Trump in unison with Biden and PP?

The American people have made their decision on the next President of the United States, members of Congress as well as state and local officials. I congratulate Mr. Trump and everyone elected yesterday.

He didn’t split hairs, you are changing his words.

If that is what was meant,

You are putting your own meaning into his tweet

The bishops should be pushing for Biden to keep the Mexico City Policy which Biden said will go in week 1.

 

[pnewton]

He didn’t split hairs, you are changing his words.

I did not say he did. You know, you are so far away from what I said and what I meant, I do not see the point in this thread.

So, since no one provided any evidence that the USCCB did whatever, anything for Biden, I will go my own way believing only stuff based on evidence.

 

[upant]

I did not say he did.

This is what you said

. I notice there is no where he can point to where the USCCB supported Biden,

He did not say the USCCB supported Biden

There is no evidence to provide for something he did not say

 

[Raxus]

I think our priests and bishops should indeed speak out when an administration or powerful person supports something like abortion. We’re not just Catholic when at Mass.
