The headline for Monday’s Feb. 1 story out of Sacramento read “California Catholic Conference Celebrates Fifty Years as a Voice for Life and Dignity.”
California Catholic Daily has composed a detailed history of the conference that sheds a different light on the bishops’ group.
For example, Brian Johnston, director of the California ProLife Council for more than twenty-five years, “says the current staff of the California Catholic Conference should be fired.” (Part 6)
Click here for a pdf of the illustrated booklet on the California Catholic Conference’s history.
Or look at the text-only parts of the history:
Part 1: the years before
Part 2: the gay agenda, euthanasia, abortion
Part 3: a layman takes over
Part 4: blurred vision
Part 5: lay-run initiatives
Part 6: other state bishops conferences
50 years of what? Uselessness and wasted money?
Thank you CalCatholic for publishing this information. I never knew these details, but certainly is an expression at the policy level of what many bishops in the western United States, and their diocesan staffs, and now, as you detail, at the Bishop’s conference level, ideas first proposed and implemented at the L.A. Congress, which you have documented for many years. Unfortunately, most Catholics, and even active priests and religious like myself, are not aware of the political insider game that is being played, and want to be good, faithful catholics, thus, do not want to rock the boat. Yet, the boat is leaking, due to a cancel culture that has arisen, the censoring of thought and religious expression, the propagandizing of group think, and in a weakened state to confront “The Great Reset” that Archbishop Vigano summarizes, what many investigators have documented, such as Steven Mosher, linking the alliance of Wall Street, CCP, Big Tech, and our compromised political leaders. Apparently, what you have documented here, is that many of our church leaders are no different than our compromised political leaders.
Bishop’s Conferences are a manifestation of the “Collegiality” novelty introduced at Vatican II. They permit member bishops to hide within the group, and avoid their personal responsibility and accountability before God. Here’s a brief, informative video that explains the problem with Collegiality:
The California Catholic Conference is not a bishop’s conference.
No, but the CCC in its essence is still an expression of the novelty of “collegiality”.
You have no understanding of what the Bishop’s Conference is. That second sentence is completely insane.
The Video is from the SSPX.
