1. "Pro-Life" my ass, they don't care about the living only the unborn

Guns - a-ok (which are made for killing people)

Death Penalty - a-ok (they ARE guilty, forget about forgiveness)

Women dying from unsafe abortions - a-ok (they don't care about the life of the woman)


I could probably go on but the above list is enough to drive home the point: they ARE NOT "pro-life" at all.

4. Considering he had no issue with the entire Trump fiasco, now he wakes up?

The comment that he looks like Pete Davidson playing John Malkovich by @jordandangerous is dead on.

In my mind the movie is "Being Pete Davidson Playing John Malkovich as a Lunatic Priest."

10. Cordileone has nothing to hold over Trump's head.

TDFG is not Catholic, and he's not from Cordileone's neck of the woods, so there's nothing of value to him that the Archbishop could threaten to withhold.

Besides which, since deciding to run for potus in 2015, the Orange One has made much of his opposition to abortion, which is no doubt pleasing to Cordileone. Hell, Cordy probably voted for him, both times.

In other words, Cordileone has no power (real or imaginary) to hold over Trump, and no reason to use any such power if he did have it.

6. Hey, it's rigid judgmental jerks like him who are directly to blame

for the shrinking of the Catholic Church in this country. AS a Catholic, I hear closed-minded, uncompromising assholes like him slamming a door in my face, too. Literally DRIVEN away.

So be it. Btw, dude, when I left, I took my donation budget with me (such as it is).

7. This archbishop is a well-known shit head in San Francisco. . . .

"Noted for his staunch conservatism, obstinacy in the face of survivors’ pleas for acknowledgment and accountability, and general clericalism, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone has firmly resisted publicly releasing an official list of clergy known to be credibly accused of child sexual abuse. Because of Archbishop Cordileone’s unwillingness to provide transparency, a digital mobile billboard will be at the event imploring Archbishop Cordileone to release the names of all credibly accused clergy in the Archdiocese of San Francisco."

8. The archbishop suffers from "Cognitive Dissonance", although I have to think that it is

stimulated by the big republican DONORS...

A variation of Forrest Gump Mom's quote:

Hypocrite is as Hypocrite does....and the church is so good at it.
