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

The term “pro-life” is sorely lacking in range as it's used. Such terminology is too often designed to stir conflict more so than to convey morality or meaning.

When I was being confirmed many years ago, the bishop loved to ask us if we knew what moral courage was. Now it is getting harder and harder to find a bishop who could answer the question, let alone live the answer.

This is one of the most horrifying developments we have seen. I don't think Jesus is weeping. I suspect he is feeling a deep cold hard anger. A betrayal on this level takes him back to Judas.

Bishops, in general, cannot be counted upon to exhibit moral courage until the risks of acting upon it have passed.
