Soon-To-Be Cardinal Gregory: Focus On "Full Panoply Of The Church's Social Teachings"

This interview that Gregory gave demonstrates that he intends to follow in the steps of Cupich, Farrell, Joseph Tobin and other progressives as they promote the now-debunked "seamless-garment" crap of the late Cardinal Bernardin.  Gregory is quite unabashed and blatant here.  

• He wants to "broaden the concept of pro-life" so that "other pressing issues might be on a par with the ongoing slaughter of 3500+ babies daily in this country.
• He commented on the language of the USCCB's voting guide that called abortion "our preeminent priority".  He said that language "could benefit from rephrasing".
• He wants to include the "history of black Catholics in the US" as part of Catholic school curriculum.  I wonder when he plans to include modules on "history of Irish Catholics" or "Italian Catholics"?  But I digress
• He commented on recent firings of openly "gay-married" employees of Catholic institutions by saying "it's not a one-size-fits-all situation".  So when is the retention of a flagrantly disobedient Catholic not a scandal?
• He said that LGBT individuals should be treated with respect.  That is true enough as they are made in the image and likeness of God.  But one could wonder what Gregory meant by "respect" given his overly-cozy relationship with Fortunate Families.

Of course he bad-mouthed Father James Altman for having the chutzpah of acting and speaking as an actual priest of Jesus Christ and proclaiming the truth.  He called Altman's remarks "egregious and unhelpful" and that Catholics should base voting on "the full panoply of the church's social teaching".  I remind his excellency that the true social teaching of the Church is to be found in Father Altman's words, not his progressive interpretation of it.  Now Gregory had to know whom he was defending in that remark.  He is responsible for leading souls astray and into formal cooperation with Biden's own support of baby-slaughter.

One can only suspect for whom he voted this past Tuesday.  Let us keep praying that the various voting frauds come to light and that Trump claims his rightful victory.

Archbishop Gregory Gets His Red Hat! Who's Surprised? Not me!

 In 2004, at the US bishops' meeting in Denver, Bishop Gregory, in his capacity as president of the USCCB, colluded with then-Cardinal McCarrick to withhold from their brother bishops a directive from then-Cardinal Ratzinger regarding Holy Communion.  See here and here.  That delay led the other bishops to believe that Canon 915 need not be applied to pro-abortion politicians.

At his first "Theology on Tap" session upon assuming the DC see, Archbishop Gregory has no bones about singing the praises of Fortunate Families, a dissident, gay-pandering organization.  Apparently he hobnobbed with them quite a bit during his time in Atlanta.

In June, when all the mayhem was erupting over the killing of George Floyd, Archbishop Gregory acted the part of the pompous, race-baiting ass.  He ordered his priests to join him in a protest prayer service on behalf of Floyd.  Then, when President Trump kept a long-standing commitment to visit the St John Paul II National Shrine, Gregory waxed indignant that Trump acted to restrain the rioters and arsonists.  Gregory called Trump's visit to the Shrine "reprehensible" although he himself had been invited to join earlier but politely declined.

These are just a few examples of how Archbishop Gregory has been toting water for his progressive higher-ups, including the ones in the Vatican.  They have displayed their approval in their just-announced plans to make him a cardinal next month.  

Ladies and gentlemen, we knew this was coming.  He was brought into DC specifically to do damage-control for his two predecessors as well as further the progressive agenda along.  He is simply getting a reward AND his appointment is just one more step in the pope's efforts to stack the College of Cardinals with those who will be likely to vote for a progressive to succeed him.  Their gain is the church's loss.
