“Making the sign of the cross is one of the deepest gestures Catholics make to show respect for the death of Christ on the cross and faith in the Holy Trinity as they sign in the name of the Father and the Son.The Holy Spirit ,” Bishop Paprocki said.
“Abusing this sacred act makes a mockery of our Catholic faith,” he explained.

A growing number of Catholic leaders are speaking out against Biden.
On Easter Sunday, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the archbishop of Washington, denounced Biden as a “cafeteria Catholic.”
“I think he is very sincere about his faith, but like many Catholics, he picks and chooses aspects of the faith to emphasize and ignores or contradicts other parts. Sometimes we even do it,” Gregory said. “One of the words we’ve used in the past is ‘cafeteria catholicism.’ Choose what’s appealing and ignore what’s difficult.”
”[E]Especially when it comes to life issues, [Biden] Instead of saying, “Look, my church believes this, I’m a good Catholic, this is what I want to believe,” we choose to ignore it or present ourselves as political pawns. Take advantage of the current situation. rather than twisting or changing some aspect of the faith for political advantage,” Gregory explained.
Last month, Bishop Robert Glass of Michigan called Biden called him “stupid” and described the president as someone who “doesn’t live the life Jesus wants us to live.” Mr. Gruss said he felt “disappointed” for Mr. Biden.he later I apologized for his comment.

Bishop Paprocki finished his message. Quoted by Paul in his letter to the Galatians.
“Make no mistake, God is not mocked, for a man reaps only what he sows. He who sows for the flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but for the sake of the spirit Let us not grow weary of doing good, for he that soweth of the Spirit reaps eternal life.” If you don’t give up, you will eventually reap the rewards. So while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those to whom we belong. We are a family of faith,” Paprocki said.
