The US Catholic bishops talk a lot about the decline in religious commitment and the need for stronger religious values in the public square.

Yet prominent Catholics like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis engage in political games of incredible cruelty with the lives of migrants — in Abbott's case, right on Christmas Eve.

While the US Catholic bishops remain totally silent….

It's almost as if their words about declining religiosity and moral vaules are just empty, isn't it?

@wdlindsy agreed. If they don't understand why there is such a decline, then there really is no hope for a turnaround. Their silence equals complicity. Complicity equals the loss of any moral authority the Church strives for. No moral authority equals their decline.
@kathyjeanne55 That's so well-stated. I totally agree.
