Leading up to the election

We had about 20 bishops on Twitter

Spiritually abusing the flock

Telling us to vote for Trump

This was a violation of our conscience

As they tried to convince us

To forget the Gospel and accept lies as truth

This must never happen again.
A year ago

The USCCB set the stage for more spiritual abuse

They ignored Pope Francis

Instead, they declared abortion "preeminent"

This made it impossible to dialogue with other Catholics, who just parroted "preeminent"

In their minds, we were "pro aborts" or "leftists" 2/2
He continues to stir the pot even after the election

Using his position to spiritually abuse Biden and Harris

As well as the rest of us

Who used our God-given conscience to vote for them, because we can clearly see that Trump is a danger to humanity itself.
The US bishops must have known what they were doing with "preeminent" last year

This word could be trotted out in 2020

Right before the election

Like here, when +Estevez used it to campaign for Trump, in the swing state of Florida.
The US bishops can claim to be non partisan all they want

But their pre-election tweets betray them.
Thankfully this bizarre pre-election attack on Joe Biden was covered by mainstream media.

Not a mention that Trump has told 20,000+ public lies, leading us to accept the lie that truth is now negotiable and no longer a sin, as long as you say, "I'm pro-life."
Sister Deidre's appearance at the RNC was the height of spiritual abuse, as she basically told us to vote for Trump or suffer the consequences of eternal damnation

I don't recall any US bishop publicly correcting her.
Wall of shame @PhoenixDiocese

Tweet from +Eduardo Nevares just before the election

Latino bishop from a crucial swing state with a large Latino Catholic population

Whatever was he trying to accomplish?
One of the most problematic and partisan sees in the US is the @PhoenixDiocese

In 2016 its bishop told us we'd need to explain to unborn babies we met in Heaven if we voted for Hillary. Phoenix also gives shelter to Fr. Lankeit. https://twitter.com/phxazgrl/status/790570917126549504
So what about Fr. Lankeit?

His 2016 pro-Trump election homily went viral. Someone followed me out of Mass one day and insisted I watch it

Here it is https://twitter.com/mariocataldo/status/1227055055146110982
++Naumann has never missed an opportunity to "praise" and "applaud" the Trump administration

No mention of children in cages or Covid deaths though.
Four years ago we started begging the bishops

To DO SOMETHING about Father Pavone

Instead, they handed him yet another election season to misuse his Roman collar in order to campaign for Donald J. Trump.
Just another "pro-life" Catholic priest

Using his collar to undermine democracy by spreading lies about the election

Dear @CardinalJWTobin we have been begging you for years go DO SOMETHING.
This is a ridiculous attempt to drum up pre-election support for Trump

Can we at least agree there's no such thing as "beyond birth" abortion?

Plus, bearing false witness is a grave sin that apparently no longer matters as long as you're "pro-life."
The bishop of Spokane also hit the campaign trail for Trump

The one saving grace is that he doesn't live in a swing state

But that won't stop Catholics in his diocese from spiritually abusing other Catholics who don't vote for Trump.
Election day post

The USCCB hit the campaign trail, with a clear dog whistle to vote for Trump and "Vote Pro-life"

We try to tell them he's not "pro-life" and that abortion rates are rising

What will it take?
No string of posts on priests and bishops campaigning for Trump would be complete without adding Fr. Altman

At least his bishop spoke out. But he didn't take action BEFORE election day, in a swing state

@DIOLaCrosse
Bishop in Texas refuses to accept election results, a dangerous gambit given the mood in this country. @BpOlsonFW https://twitter.com/JCDCF1/status/1326607467552395267
No words for the level of recklessness. @BpOlsonFW https://twitter.com/RichRaho/status/1325508868873576448
My elderly Mom was subjected to spiritual abuse because some of her friends saw a video of Fr Meeks and told her no good Catholic can vote for Biden. https://twitter.com/SamRochadotcom/status/1318370410749030400
Yet another bishop in the crucial swing state of Florida joins Trump on the campaign trail

Just to be clear, Catholics are allowed to consider all life issues before casting our vote

If you have any doubt read #FratelliTutti the latest Papal encyclical.
This was my response to +Hying who lives in the swing state of Wisconsin. Why do our bishops discount the threat of nuclear war? https://twitter.com/ProLifeAll/status/1319776886608875521
It's disturbing that most bishops in this thread live in a battleground state

Yet they overlook Trump's evil deeds, either because they lack discernment

Or they're political operatives

In either case, they support Trump, someone with reported ties to the Russian mafia.
So, for whatever reason, it appears the majority of US bishops support Trump, despite his widely reported association with the Russian underworld. We deserve an answer. https://twitter.com/craigunger/status/1088131228325343232
By doing this thread, I hope and pray that it doesn't scandalize anyone, to the point of leaving the Church

I'm staying no matter what the bishops do

But I feel it's my duty as a Catholic to bring this to the surface, in order to expose the rot to daylight.
EWTN might be the reason so many US bishops are not tethered to reality. Because they tune in and hear the same lies, night after night.
The US hierarchy has chosen to alienate half of its flock, rather than step away from a madman with nuclear weapons

Spiritual abusive priests still tell us to vote for Trump https://twitter.com/joelockhart/status/1322880236640493574
