Everything Corporate Media Said About The Bishops’ Conference Is False

Last week, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to advance a document that will discuss Eucharistic coherence, which Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila called an opportunity for me and all bishops to recommit ourselves to an unapologetic preaching of Jesus Christ. In the aftermath, corporate media once again proved themselves to be arbiters of hypocrisy, with headline after headline criticizing the church for allegedly politicizing the Eucharist.

Among others, NPR reported  Bishops Vote to Rethink Communion Rules, a New Republic headline said Conservative Bishops Attack on Biden Is an Attack on the Majority of U.S. Catholics, and the Associated Press reported that the US Catholic bishops [OK ed] steps toward possible rebuke of Biden, and that bishops met to press Biden to stop taking Communion. Leftist media is politicizing the bishops meeting not the other way around. And their almost every interpretation of the meeting is misguided and blatantly false.

Sounds about right.
