I guess the Poe's law thing is accurate

I genuinely dislike the USCCB statement.

"in light of recent public comments" is the weakest mealy-mouthed horseshit they could possibly put out, short of not making a statement at all.

They can't say nothing, but if they put out anything stronger, then they'd run the risk of not stacking the federal judiciary with as many TradCaths as humanly possible, which is priority #1 for the USCCB.
