Been thinking of this: 4 years ago it was clear there were 2 incompatible paths, the Way of Pope Francis and the Way of Trump (not saying Dem vs GOP). And large % of Catholics and bishops said/say “We go with Trump.” Still? What do we do with that? (“Give us Barabbas!”)
Wouldn’t it be such a great thing if a bishop spoke up each and every time Trump uttered an injustice, a lie, a racist remark, a raising up of a former nuncio who called for Francis’ resignation, or held up Taylor Marshall as part of his re-election campaign...think about it.

Looking forward to this new Trump trilogy:
"FAITH: The Evidence of Things and Numbers Like Nobody Has Ever Seen Before"
"HOPE: Something We’ll Be Looking into Very Strongly in Two Weeks"
And the third (and greatest): "CHARITY: Very Powerful Tales from the Trump Family Trust"

Feast of St Ignatius, founder of the Jesuits. He began life as a vain courtier and soldier. The turning point came while he was recovering from a war injury and was given a book of lives of saints. As he read he thought: “What if I should do as St Francis or St Dominic did?”

Sometimes when the master felt that someone else was getting too much attention he would accidentally start a fire or induce a bout of projectile vomiting. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Grateful to Obama for making it clear that paying tribute to John Lewis is not enough--not while efforts are being made with surgical precision to undo the work Lewis was willing to die for. Message received.
