Boo hooo. When you crawl into bed with a fickle partner, you don't get to cry foul when their tastes change and they start asking for something you don't want to give. The church has gotten its way on this (and it's not a position I disagree with, by the way) for decades. Now the administration changes, and the Bishops are upset. You mean politics change? You mean different sides of the aisle have opposing views and that can translate into conflicting priorities? Well, here's a news flash for ya... quit acting like the federal government's kept woman and you won't have to put up with their demands. The church has no business getting government handouts... that's what those vaults of gold and other wealth stored over the last two millennia is supposed to be for. But you wouldn't want to spend that when you can just support a democratic agenda and have the privilege of spending someone else's money, right? A bit of a dichotomy, isn't it? The church has a social welfare agenda, so it supports the social welfare party. But it also has a social conservative mindset when it comes to moral issues, but the Democratic party is the party promoting an agenda of open sexuality, homosexuality and abortion. Oh crap! What do they do?
Well, their money comes from the government, and from their followers/donors. Their followers are ever increasingly coming from the poor, the uneducated... Catholicism is now effectively battling it out with the Muslims for number one position in the 3rd world. They promote open borders for the same reason the Democrats do... because that's where their new members are coming from. They support democrats, because that's where the money comes from for their social agenda. They've looked the other way for generations as the Democratic party has enabled the killing of millions of unborn children, because that's where the money comes from. They've stood by as all Christian symbols are stripped from every aspect of our lives in the name of "religious freedom". They helped to elect a President who proclaims to the world that "America is not a Christian nation". And now, after generations of serving as the whore of the Democratic left, the Bishops are upset because the Progressives, who have no sense of loyalty to the church (why would they... who's loyal to a whore), change the rules and demand compliance with THEIR social agenda. Seriously? This crap is actually comical.
The party that gives the most to charitable causes, largely through donations to the church (any church, not simply Catholic) is the Republican party (simple fact... check the studies). Through tithing, many Christians and Mormons actually give more of their income voluntarily to the church than 50% of the nation gives to the government in taxes. The party of social conservatism (i.e. traditional marriage, anti-abortion, etc.) is the Republican party (or at least they're the closest thing to it in DC). So what does the Catholic church do? Stand beside those who freely give the most wealth to religious charities, those with similar moral values, and support them at the pulpit and the voting booth, or support the Sugar Daddy who's treated you like the whore that you are for decades in the hopes that you won't be cut off? They gambled... they lost.
There is no good guy in this one. The church has no leg to stand on, as it sold it's soul a long time ago, and they have no room to bitch when the tap runs dry. And the government shouldn't be in the business of dictating which organization has the "right" moral compass to be eligible to receive taxpayer dollars. That money should never have been confiscated from the taxpayers in the first place. But in the end, we're talking about two of the most powerful, and most corrupt, entities on the planet... the Catholic church and the US Government. And when this collection of thieves and whores start to duke it out, there's little the rest of us can do but sit back and laugh (or cry... all a matter of perspective).
