About 53% to 55% of voting U.S. Catholics supported Donald Trump in recent elections. I hope some of this number heard what Cardinal McElroy had to say about scripture they must know by heart by now.

I have been praying they switch. Especially in Texas. 🙏🏼

We just received our new “Guide to Faithful Citizenship “ from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops in our bulletins this weekend. I see many of the same priorities but I see one word missing regarding abortion. That is the word “preeminent.” The previous guide for the 2024 election cycle described abortion and respect for the unborn as the “preeminent“ issue. The new guide may be reflecting Pope Leo’s call for a comprehensive pro life stance.

Thank you for the newsletter, Chris. Too many migrants have died with in the borders of the Us. I say abolish ice. I will pray for Pope Leo and this nation that killings will stop.

I had this argument today, with a Catholic neighbor She said they deserve to be deported if they're here illegally. I find it impossible and extremely frustrating to reason with people like her.

Wow. Archbishop McElroy did not pull any punches. I'm not a Catholic, but I say thank God for voices like his.

Thank you for writing this up. It's worth pointing out that there was a standing ovation (!) at the end of the homily, and an immense queue of people waiting to shake Cardinal McElroy's hand at the end of Mass.
