ONSERVATIVE Catholics are missing the point: saying “Catholics rejected a ‘narrow social agenda’” on the one hand and “Catholics voted based on the economy over moral issues” is exactly the same thing.

HE BISHOP From over the mountains has approved a new, more literal English translation of the Mass for the Entirety of the Anglosphere. (See how great his power is?) The Catholic News Agency reports:
