Biden on Road to Canossa?

Road to Canossa? The Church's only power has historically been delivered through empty promises [heaven], empty threats [hell], and horrific punishments [burnings at the stake for noncompliance] delivered at the Church's behest. Given the Pedophile Protection Agency's cover-up of pedophilia, its child-abuse in Church institutions, rampant misogyny, anti-condom medical-malpractice in AIDS-rampant nations, and its hypocritical stance on homosexuality it remains a horror that any rational person would remain brainwashed about the non-existence that supposedly loves genuflectors and punishes non-believers.

The Humiliation of Canossa, (L'umiliazione di Canossa), sometimes called the Walk to Canossa (Gang nach Canossa/Kanossa) or the Road to Canossa, was the ritual submission of the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV to Pope Gregory VII at Canossa Castle in 1077 during the Investiture controversy. It involved the Emperor journeying to Canossa, where the Pope had been staying as the guest of Margravine Matilda of Tuscany, to seek absolution and the revocation of his excommunication.

According to contemporary sources, Henry IV was forced to supplicate himself on his knees waiting for three days and three nights before the entrance gate of the castle, while a blizzard raged. Indeed, the episode has been described as "one of the most dramatic moments of the Middle Ages". It has also spurred much debate among medieval chroniclers as well as modern historians, who argue about whether the walk was a "brilliant masterstroke" or an embarrassing humiliation.

Abortion rights: US Catholic Pedophile Protection Agency bishops face clash with Biden

US Catholic bishops are on a potential collision course with President Joe Biden after voting to commission a document that may call for him to be barred from Holy Communion. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) clashed online over whether to draw up a teaching document on politicians who support abortion.

The [utterly empty ritual of] Holy Communion is [touted by ecclesiastical power-mongers as] the most important ritual ritualistic manipulation in the Catholic Christian faith.
