"The Vatican" is not going to reprimand Bishops in the US for their involvement, or lack thereof, with Catholic Charities. Since we're on an LSU site. Your comparison would be like the Governor of Louisiana telling the LSU Alumni Chapter of Phoenix how to run their crawfish boil. Could he do it? Sure...LSU is a state institution and each chapter is a member of the Alumni Association which has a charter with LSU.

That's a retarded comparison.

I would say the Catholic Church carrying out a mission using church resources and property while receiving billions of dollars from the most powerful government on the planet doesn’t get approval without the boss’s say so.

That’s a hell of a lot more high profile than a fricking crawfish boil.

Over the Bishops themselves, yes. Over the Conference (organization)…not in the sense you’re referencing.

I have a feeling if the Conference starts ordaining women, we would see just how much power the pope has over them.

All smart arse remarks aside I agree the Church needs to but out of how sovereign states control their immigration and borders and Francis irritated me to no end about that.

It sounds like this pope will continue that policy

I’m all for helping the poor, but the Catholic Church in the US has been paid to essentially aid and abet illegal aliens on behalf of the federal government

Umm I missed where it says he supports that

That’s because you have poor reading comprehension skills, Mr contrarian.

This is supposed to be “bad”

Yeah, the pope should be instrumental in helping illegals violate the laws of sovereign nations and completely abandoning the foundational practices of the church he’s leading.

Sounds like a middle of the road guy but pretty reserved over all.

Nope. Typical Chicago politics.

On key topics, Cardinal Prevost says little but some of his positions are known. He is reportedly very close to Francis’ vision regarding the environment, outreach to the poor and migrants, and meeting people where they are. He said last year “the bishop is not supposed to be a little prince sitting in his kingdom.” He supported Pope Francis’ change in pastoral practice to allow divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion. Prevost appears somewhat less favorable to currying favor with the LGBTQ lobby than Francis, but he showed mild support for Fiducia Supplicans.1
