The Catholic Church has some nerve (“U.S. Catholic bishops OK steps toward possible rebuke of Biden,” June 18, TribLIVE). Some priests have relations with women in their parishes, and others abuse children. Maybe they made babies and told the women it’s a sin to get an abortion. They are the ones who should not be receiving the Eucharist.
They need to remember some abortions are necessary to save a mother’s life, and that women and children are sometimes raped and then told to keep those babies. Yes, I know, it’s not the baby’s fault, and I don’t agree with abortion either.
Bishops, you are not medical doctors. The church needs to mind its own business on women’s bodies and how they should do or not do things. If men didn’t go to prostitutes and violate young girls into prostitution, we wouldn’t have that either, along with the drugs that go with it.
Keep out of our lives, bishops. Stay out of politics too. You need to clean your own house before you criticize others.
