Archbishop Cordileone prays for Biden, states his support for USCCB president

Washington D.C., Jan 20, 2021 / 10:47 am (CNA).- The Archbishop of San Francisco on Wednesday stated his support for the U.S. bishops’ conference (USCCB) president, who had noted areas of collaboration and concern with incoming President Joe Biden.

 

In a prepared statement that was not released on Wednesday morning as scheduled–but published later in the day after the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States–USCCB president Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles prayed for Biden. He noted areas of both agreement and disagreement between the bishops and Biden, who is Catholic.

 

According to sources at the conference, figures within the conference pushed back on language in the prepared statement that had highlighted areas of concern with the incoming Biden administration on abortion, gender, and religious freedom.

 

 In particular, sources at the conference told CNA that Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago opposed the inclusion of language noting abortion as a problem with the incoming Biden administration. Biden has pledged to support taxpayer-funded abortion, among other pro-abortion policies.

 

On Wednesday, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco welcomed Archbishop Gomez’s “timely call for healing as a country as the new administration assumes office.”

 

“In particular, I am grateful to him for stating clearly once again that opposing the 

injustice of abortion remains our ‘preeminent priority,’ while acknowledging that ‘preeminent’ does not mean ‘only’,” Cordileone stated.

 

Gomez on Wednesday had praised Biden’s witness of relying upon his faith in difficult times, and his commitment to the poor.  

 

At the same time, Gomez said, “our new President has pledged to pursue certain policies that would advance moral evils and threaten human life and dignity, most seriously in the areas of abortion, contraception, marriage, and gender.”

 

“For the nation’s bishops, the continued injustice of abortion remains the ‘preeminent priority’,” he said, adding that “preeminent does not mean ‘only’,” and there are a wide variety of challenges and threats to human dignity facing the country today.

 

He added that religious freedom is “[o]f deep concern” to the bishops.

 

Cordileone on Wednesday also said he was praying for new President Biden.

 

“Catholics must and do speak out on many issues affecting the equal dignity of us all, but if life at its most vulnerable beginnings is not protected, then none of us is safe,” he said. “Affirming this equal human dignity at every stage and in every condition is the path to healing and unity.”

 

In a letter accompanying their 2020 document on voting, “Faithful Citizenship,” the U.S. bishops’ conference stated that “[t]he 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.”

 

“At the same time, we cannot dismiss or ignore other serious threats to human life and dignity such as racism, the environmental crisis, poverty and the death penalty,” the letter stated.

      How yes let’s get conciliar! The “new” Roman Catholic Church makes us vomit, as Our Lord Jesus Christ, THE JUDGE will vomit at the sight of the lukewarm’.
      The prelates of the Church of Jesus Christ are more concern in our modern days with politic and temporal matters like appeasing the beasts of the world than with the salvation of souls.
      Surprise! The spokesman of the compromise with the imps of Satan is no less that the rising star of the Western Province, Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco. Bravo monsignor! just one more run, and you’ll gain a cardinal’s cap!
      But ‘nihil novi sub sole’! for we recall a similar deal made back during election year 2008 by the monsignor’s predecessor Archbishop Niederauer with self proclaimed “Catholic” witchy Nancy Pelosi. The deal was about being soft-pedal against California PROP-8. Prop-8 was against Homosexual marriage. The party line of the Church was merely to “cite scriptures telling the nature of marriage”. Needless to say that the Catholic’s campaign was doomed.
      In fact God’s Holy Spirit intervened, and the population was told (without b.s.) that the reason the homos wanted to “marry” was to adopt children. Prop-8 obtained the result desired, the Gay Marriage was banned from California, and hundreds of children were saved from being taken away from their biological parents. We recall Roger Cardinal Mahony, Archbp. of L.A. “regretting that the gay desiring marriage were perceived as being perverts”.
      May the USCCB understand that there is still a God. That God will take care of our most basic needs and even to the renegade Catholic Church. Lastly: GOD IS NOT MOCKED.
