Pope Francis Muzzles American Catholic Bishops Preaching Against Biden’s Anti-Catholic Agenda By Evita Duffy for The Federalist
Officials from the Vatican held back a statement from the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB), which warned Catholics that the incoming Biden administration holds an extreme anti-Catholic policy agenda. The USCCB statement has now been released, but only after Pope Francis came out with his own message for President Joe Biden.
Conference President Archbishop Jose Gomez did not mince words in the USCCB release, discussing the church’s position on abortion, gender, and religious liberty, and warning that the Biden administration’s policies would advance “moral evils” on several fronts.
According to “The Pillar,” sources in the Vatican Secretariat of State, others close to the U.S. bishops conference, and sources among the U.S. bishops confirmed that the statement was being held under embargo after an intervention from the Vatican Secretariat of State, hours before it was due to be released Wednesday morning.

Those who allegedly objected to the release include Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, and Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, among other unnamed bishops.
Biden and Harris, who plan to reverse the Mexico City policy and the Hyde Amendment to reinstate taxpayer funding of abortion both here and abroad, pose a serious threat to the sanctity of life. Yet the Catholic News Agency reported that sources within the USCCB said Cupich “opposed the inclusion of language noting abortion as a problem with the incoming Biden administration.”
