Some people think of saints as "super heroes"--close to God, but not exactly human. I have tried to dispel that notion. Some reflections here: americamagazine.org/faith/20…

The president has made it clear that it would be a sign of weakness for him to wear a mask, as he sits behind the Resolute Desk meeting kings and queens, etc. Pence, of course, must follow his lead.

It is one thing to seek the president's support on an issue of particular concern (as, for instance, governors must do for help with the pandemic response); but when the price is support for his reelection that means buying into the whole MAGA package with all the consequences

Try as he might to emulate the master’s mannerisms and gestures, his manservant Mikhail’s natural servility and forced earnestness were no match for the master’s effortless bravado and biting sarcasm. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The problem with this argument—if you allow Trump to claim the Catholic vote, you can’t pretend that only applies to the policy you favor; his re-election means you are buying and owning the whole package.
On their call with Trump, the bishops were right to highlight the plight of Catholic schools. @Americaeditor americamagazine.org/politics…

It appears many bishops are willing to enter an unofficial Concordat with Trump. In exchange for his patronage of parochial schools and a “pro-life” agenda (in the narrowest sense) they support his reelection and indulge his claim 2 b “the most pro-Catholic president in history.”

Yet what is the purpose of parochial schools if they must teach a message that has been hollowed out and adapted to the Gospel of Donald Trump? bit.ly/3cY5qVY @ctrlamb
