The pro-abortion/pro-choice wing of the Catholic Church is after him. Their petition denouncing his position regarding pro-abortion Catholic politicians has received 19,000 signatures (or so they say).
Here's the proper petition response organized by CatholicVote so you can hit their link or below to respond. CatholicVote currently has over 24,000 signatures. Let's get it over 100,000. Archbishop Naumann gave the homily at the March for Life Prayer Vigil for Life in January. It was wonderful - and he emphasized the need for a coherent understanding of the Eucharist. Pope Francis and "The Bishops and Eucharistic Coherence"
From CatholicVote:
A left-wing group wants Archbishop Joseph Naumann fired. Naumann, of course, is the chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities. He has spent his life as a priest and bishop courageously defending the sanctity of life.
Their charge: Naumann’s criticisms of Joe Biden’s pro-abortion policies are scandalous!
The radical left-wing group, Faith in Public Life, has said Archbishop Naumann’s “personal, single-issue, culture-war attacks” are “dangerous.” They are especially angry that Naumann took issue with Biden calling himself a “devout Catholic” while advocating for taxpayer funded abortion.
So what has Naumann actually said?
On Biden, Naumann has been clear: “I want to protect my people from being misled. His actions, right now, do mislead… [t]hey do create confusion for people in terms of what the Church believes and teaches.”
This is exactly what must be said! The scandal is Joe Biden, not Archbishop Naumann.
That’s why I’ve just signed an Open Letter to Archbishop Joseph Naumann letting him know that faithful Catholics have his back and stand with him. Several other national pro-life leaders have signed the letter as well, and we expect more to join every day.
Please add your name to our Open Letter to Archbishop Naumann!
The left-wing group behind the campaign against Naumann has bragged about 19,000 people signing their letter (many of them likely not even Catholic).
I really want to show Archbishop Naumann that as many Catholics as possible also stand with him. Can we get 20,000 (ed. note; already past that number) or more Catholics to stand with Archbishop Naumann?
Our bishops are often (sometimes justly) criticized. But we should be equally outspoken in thanking them when they courageously defend the teachings of our Church.
Now is one of those times.
Please sign our Open Letter to Archbishop Naumann now!
For life,
Brian Burch
