America’s Catholic bishops have made some serious missteps in the past — from mishandling and covering up sexual abuse and homosexual predation in seminaries and rectories to distorting the Catholic Church’s teachings on immigration and national sovereignty. Unfortunately, the bishops are showing no signs of stopping. Just days after a transgender-identified lunatic shot and killed children attending Mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis and an Antifa-aligned crackpot assassinated conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) decided to make its ad hoc “anti-racism” committee a permanent fixture.
In 2017, then-president of the USCCB Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston established a temporary “Committee Against Racism,” shortly after the controversial “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The first chairman of the committee was Jesuit Bishop George V. Murry, who vocally supported altering the Church’s teachings on divorce and remarriage and allowing women to serve as deacons.
