Breitbart:
A spokesman for the U.S. Bishops’ Conference (USCCB) has disassociated Church leaders from remarks in praise of Kamala Harris made last week by the USCCB’s assistant director of African American Affairs.
James Rogers, chief communications officer for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, noted that remarks made on August 12 by Donna Toliver Grimes “were offered in a personal capacity rather than as a representative of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.”
An article in Catholic News Service (CNS), the official news agency of the USCCB, cited Ms. Grimes as a representative voice from “key black Catholics” lauding Joe Biden’s decision to name Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate.
“I was so elated,” Grimes said. “We, the community, need good news, and this was just wonderful.”
Grimes said that black Catholics can expect Biden and Harris to enact policy that is “favorable to people on the margins.”
“If I say ‘for African Americans,’ it benefits other people on the margins as well,” she said.
“I would expect he (Biden) would put good people in his Cabinet, who would not damage the agencies, or ignore the mission,” she added.
While Harris was not Grimes’s “top candidate” during the primaries, the USCCB official said Harris is “really deserving and brings a lot to the table,” as others gushed over her nomination elsewhere in the media:Volume 90%
In its article on the story, Catholic News Agency noted the irony that when another official made similar comments last year in favor of Donald Trump, she was removed from her position at the conference. No such punishment has yet been meted out to Ms. Grimes.
Instead of firing her, the bishops have merely clarified that Grimes’s words were not made in an official capacity.
“At no point are Conference staff authorized to speak on behalf of the bishops in support of, or in opposition to, candidates for elected office,” Mr. Rogers said in his statement on behalf of the bishops. more
Fire her azz.
I’m so sick of some of our idiot bishops and don’t even want to touch the subject of Frankie.
Please Dear God, either convert them or stop them.

Some of the devil’s best lieutenants are so-called men of faith; Al Sharpton, Lewis Farrakhan, Michael Pfleger, Jerimiah Wright, Jim Bakker.
The USCCB is the single most destructive group in the United States. It is chockablock full of absolute reprobates of the lowest order. I have nothing but utter contempt for them collectively.
Despicable is too mild a word.
As for these harridans they have in key positions, they are almost to a person a menace.
I’m guessing the newspaper wrapped chicken feet arrived at the Vatican.
When donating to the church I am careful to keep the
money going into direct local support functions for
things like building maintenance and the food pantry.
I avoid the bishops appeals etc. like poison.
