"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."
Matthew 7:15
Bishop Michael Olson of Ft. Worth has been problematic for awhile. In recent months, however, he's become worse. Texas Right to Life has more:
[E]very election cycle the liberal establishment deploys one tool to deceive Pro-Life voters: the political organization known as the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops (TCCB).The Star-Telegram cataloged Michael Olson's various issues about a month ago. The piece is too long to quote in full. But we strongly recommend reading the whole thing here. Dude's psycho.
Rest assured, even for Catholics, the TCCB has no magisterial or canonical authority; rather, the TCCB is simply a lobbying and administrative entity with no governing power.
Last election, the TCCB launched a politically-motivated (and FALSE) attack to intimidate faithful Catholics against voting for authentically conservative Pro-Life candidates. The TCCB not only favors moderate politicians who are weak on the Right to Life, religious liberty, and homeschooling, but most bishops actually have a history of voting Democrat!
That’s right: Most Texas bishops actually have a history of voting Democrat!
....
The TCCB lobbyist and disgraced Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson (who is under investigation for multiple scandals and has been called to Rome to try and account for his behavior) are behind these attacks on Texas Right to Life.
Of course, this shouldn't surprise anyone whose watched the so-called "Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops" for more than ten minutes. They're not an actual faith based organization. They just exist top give a quasi-religious patina to the crony capitalists who run this state.
None of this is new. Under Michael Olson, however, the mendacity has become blatant. Kudos to Texas Right to Life for calling it out.
Bottom Line: Wolves...sheep's clothing...beware...etc.
