While the TDS-afflicted Left and Never Trumpers whine and gnash their teeth about a fake image of President Donald Trump as the Pope, they're all awfully silent about this actual affront to the Catholic faith:
Here's more from Life Site News:
Citing his alleged Catholic faith, Washington’s leftist Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson signed a bill today that orders priests to divulge when they hear of purported abuse in the confessional – or face potential jail time.
The governor also cited his uncle, a Jesuit priest, when signing the bill.
Ferguson is a liberal, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT governor. While running for governor, but still serving as attorney general, he threatened prosecution against several other candidates with the same name. He also initiated legally dubious investigations into pro-life nonprofits as attorney general. He additionally supports prosecuting Christians who decline to provide their services to homosexual “weddings.”
SB 5375 is the latest attempt by Washington state Sen. Noel Frame to force Catholic priests to break the Seal of Confession and reveal what they hear in the confessional – or go to jail. The bill explicitly singles out priests, removing their “privileged communication” exception, while allowing it for professionals who may hear of abuse.
Frame previously cited the Catholic Church’s support for penitential secrecy in her decision to no longer practice Catholicism. However, she already had a history of supporting abortion and the LGBT movement, as LifeSiteNews previously reported.
This will not hold up in court.
Never.
Yes, they will.
They do confess anonymously.
Amen.
It is so incredibly wrong.
Government thinks it's their business.
The imprisonment is the point.
Well, Washington is run by Democrats, so ...
This is (D)ifferent.
It won't stop Democrats from trying to do this again and again.
Editor's Note: President Trump is leading America into the "Golden Age" as Democrats try desperately to stop it.
