Catholic bishops are in such a quandary when it comes to American politics these days. For so long they were convinced that cozying up to the Republicans would be good for the church. So that's what they did, especially in their attempts to curry favor with Republican politicians for the sake of their pet issues, opposition to abortion and gay marriage. It all seemed to work so well. 

But then everything changed when President P*ssy-Grabber got himself elected with Vladimir Putin's help. Riding the coattails of white nationalists, the new president unleashed the dark forces of hate that had been seething beneath the surface for eight years while President Blackface was in office. Now we live in a country in which Republicans are supposed to side with law enforcement (read: whites) against the black thugs championed by Democrats - at least, that's the narrative Republicans want you to believe. 

But when genuine racial injustice rears its ugly head, what do the bishops do? What to do?
