Cowards all who voted against action. What will it take? More leaving the church! More empty pews! It is time to challenge the Vatican left mafia. This lavender mob is tying to destroy the Church and its doctrines. When will we clean house here in the hierarchy of the United States? It is long overdue.

If the Church gets the low down onMcCarrick, why not Danneels? Obviously because the Pope is involved in that cover-up as well.

This is how you spell c o v e r u p. Keep the documents hidden. Obfuscate. Where have we heard similar behavior before? Oh yeah: "You have to vote on the resolution before you can know what is in it." As President Reagan was heard saying: "There you go again."

More evidence of confused bishops trying to lead Christ's Church which is free of any confusion. May our bishops wake the faithful when they are finally able to determine what Our Lord is telling them!

Hopefully the faithful will learn who voted for and against this measure and do some letter writing to those who voted against it.
