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 because some are bad eggs you're tossing out the whole thing?

@Liga As a body, the US bishops stand against Pope Francis and for culture war — and for identifying the US Catholic church with the Republican party. Otherwise, they would not just have elected Timothy Broglio their president.

I'm aware that there are "good" bishops. Unfortunately, they are not in the majority in the USCCB.

@wdlindsy you said Christians. And there are problems, of course there are. Generalizations made from a few cases is odd.

@Liga Sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying to me. You state, "You said Christians." I don't even see the word "Christians" in the thread to which you're responding.

Delete that bit. My broad point is that abbot and whoever are Catholics, therefore the Catholic church is Republican? Is that what you are saying? Am I missing your point?
