Despicable action by the President. It doesn’t harm the Church or the Pope. It harms the children 😢

Disgusting and disgraceful. So-called Catholics Vance and Homan have much to repent. DJT is beyond redemption.

We can call out deplorable behaviour but we shouldn’t go so far as to say that he is “beyond redemption” — God will judge him and each of us at the end of our earthly life. Let’s pray for the conversion and repentance of these world leaders

Oh this upsets me so much. The vindictiveness of this man is truly astonishing, but sadly, not surprising. He is the definition of spoiled in every aspect of the word.

It’s so typical. He does this constantly. If he can’t get his way, he lashes out anyway he can. Unfortunately he has all too many ways to get revenge.

Unexceptable policy change. I hope the Latino, Cuban and Catholic voters will remember this at mid terms.

Thank you for the newsletter. This administration will definitely hurt any faith , the Pope doesn’t kneel to anyone accept God in prayer. This Pope has degree in canon law. I foresee major for this administration. The Catholic Church is united behind the holy father. I will pray this childish behavior ends. If this administration needs help from the Catholic Church and community it will be given without any delay. I know that people are now not associated with the MAGA Party. I will pray for this administration and this country. I will pray for the Pope . My prayers continue for the people in the gulf serving our country. I will continue praying for Pope Leo and his continued leadership in the Catholic community and around the world. May his strength bring us closer to our own grace in times of crises.

“They have made their choice. We will hold these tyrants to account.”

Indeed, we will.

Their abominations and cruelties demand answer.

Trump should be reminded that THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY FOR THIS.

Odd. I recall the Bush administration trying to push a lot of "community" services onto churches (rather than the government).

More recently, I recall evangelicals claiming they were persecuted for their Christian faith. In fact, you'd think they're an endangered minority!

Well well well. Will any of those endangered and persecuted pastors cite this as further evidence this Sunday? Or ever?

Trump is the most vile person. How dare Vance call himself Catholic?

Look, Chris, although this is not something that directly impacts the point of this article, there should be a better way to tell the history of the complex and tragic situation that was Operation Peter Pan without this silly idealization. The truth is that the US either started or helped spread rumors that the Cuban Revolution would "abolish parental custody" and put children under direct care by the State — which is as crazy as Cold War conspiracy theories could get —, therefore launching a massive psychological warfare operation against a Global South country that had just secured its de facto independence from the US (The Platt Amendment was a thing!), leasing thousands of families separarem. Attempting to frame it as a humanitarian effort is both insulting and insensitive.
