American Bishops Dismal Response to COVID (25+ articles)

(For those uncomfortable with criticizing the Catholic Church hierarchy, see Catholic Leadership Critique Rationale)

Below is a summary of what I have come to believe about the American Bishops and their dismal handling of the COVID so-called “pandemic”.

1. The American Bishops buckled under political pressure and closed churches in most dioceses during Lent & Holy Week 2020; in many cases withheld sacramental confession and even baptism and last rites for several weeks.

As proof that this information is not the fruit of the fantasies of some conspiracy theorist, you should know that the European Union has chosen two projects dedicated to technological innovation as the winners of a competition: “The Human Brain” and “Graphene.” These two projects will receive one billion euro each in funding over the next ten years.^[27]

25. COVID Amnesty for Bishops? – The Catholic Thing – 11/22/22 – Nobody has taken responsibility for Catholics being:
    • deprived of the last sacraments as they died.
    • denied Mass for months.
    • refused family weddings and funerals because of arbitrary attendance rules.
    • offered invalid sacraments while bishops saidmedical personnel could do the actual anointing of a sick person while the priest stood behind the door praying.
    • given invalid Confirmation by the use of Q-tips. (I would maintain longstanding sacramental theology holds that it isinvalid).
    • given any accounting for these practices.  Without accounting, we cannot even begin to talk about “amnesty” or pardon.
