Maybe that shouldn’t surprise me. The last time I heard a priest
mention the Catechism during Mass, I was in short pants and people
still wore “Sunday clothes” to church. It’s no wonder Catholics
believe they can support abortion and still claim to vote as Catholics,
or that politicians can protect abortion and run as Catholic candidates
for office. Until the clergy stops trying to pander to their
congregations and value inclusiveness over truth, those lessons will
never be taught. I give last night’s homilist credit, though, for
coming closer to that than any priest I’ve heard in decades, but he
missed an opportunity to be a real leader of the flock.
