Let me mention something. Some have looked askance upon my calling for the demise of the USCCB, even claiming that the laity have no right to do so. I take issue with such opinions for the following reasons.
- First, I point out that I and many others find serious and even fatal fault with the organization known as the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is the conference itself that we find to be innimical, not the bishops themselves, who are the successors to the Apostles
- This blog, and many others, over the past few months, have amply demonstrated the ways in which the USCCB advances left-wing causes. Such include its unconscionable support for the Obama Hell Care Bill, a measure that will foster widespread abortion and euthanasia should it ever become law.
- The ongoing funnelling of Catholic dollars into groups such as ACORN, PICO, Gamaliel Foundation help foment the left-wing policies of the Democrats.
- The powers-that-be within the USCCB that have actively endeavored to hinder obedience to Canon 915
- The shady circumstances surrounding the beginnings of the USCCB
- The USCCB, and other national conferences, are less than 50 years old, coming from the Vatican II Council. They are not immutable and are not immune from lay challenge
- In the face of all the afore-mentioned points, the laity have not only the right, but the solemn responsibility to petition the Holy Father for the abolishment of an organization that has shown itself to be beyond reform and has shown itself to be a threat to the faith of its Church, children, etc.
