I really would love to share this with my Parish. I was saddened by those that follow the current President at my Parish. I don’t understand. Let me see if I can share it. And what backlash I get. 😌

Any church that talks politics NEEDS to be TAXED. Millions of TAX FREE dollars are hauled in every week. The public gets nothing in return.

We should pay the same effective tax rate as President Trump! Thank you for reading, Dianne!

Recently, I heard a prophetic voice say that to remain non-political is to take the side of the powerful.

Perhaps Americans need to reflect on precisely what it is that they object to from a church.

How about TAX FREE dollars being pumped into their coffers every week? How about PREDATOR PRIESTS molesting kids? How about the church controlling the sheep with threats of eternal hell and damnation? I could go on and on, but will finish with jebus. He was NO Prince of peace.

I don’t know this bishop; I was commenting on him showing up for immigrants.

"Even criminals in prison are fed and clothed, he notes...”

^^^ "even" denotes a lesser dignity... this is a poor comparison, but unsurprising when reverting to comparables in personhood.

And from my reading snout Black Catholic nuns struggle to gain the right to wear the habit and be visible as representative of the Church, I support a bishop showing up like this.
