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 Montana's Rep Matt Rosendale says he attends Mass daily, but votes against everything that would help Montanans.
@gwaldby Astonishing, isn't it? Then there's Gosar in Arizona. These sorts are legion, and the Trump administration was chock-full of them.
It's a real indictment of the US Catholic church, especially in its white iteration — with 60% of white Catholics helping elect Trump in 2016.
The 2016 vote was bad enough, but the 52% of white Catholics who voted to reelect him is more disturbing.
I very much agree. It's quite an indictment of the (lack of) moral and pastoral leadership of the US bishops.
