Empty words. The bishops knew in advance of last November's election that their favored candidate, the one now holding the highest office in the land, was appealing to the most viciously racist elements within our society with a series of dog whistles from the very start of his campaign in 2015. They conveniently overlooked this reality so they could get conservative right-wing judges on to the federal bench to stop abortion and gay marriage. It's a little late in the game for them to start crying foul now when it was perfectly obvious to many of us what was going on a full two years ago. Too little, too late, bishops. This is your man. It's who he is. It's who he's always been, and he's unleashed this avalanche of hatred we're seeing now. You're complicit in this new ugly reality by helping to get him elected. Deal with that.
