The USCCB statement is beyond an embarrassment. EWTN’s theology expert Father John Eckert warns, “if Reflections gains approval (by vote of all the Bishops in the USCCB) as it currently stands, I will seriously consider the prospect that we are moving into one of the signs of the end times, namely, apostasy.” Considering the burgeoning homosexual scandal in the clergy, the USCCB appointments of Clinton cronies and abortion rights advocates to the so-called sex-abuse policy review board, and the latest USCCB mandate that Catholics may no longer kneel before Jesus at Communion, we may be closer than Father Eckert thinks.
