Washington Archbishop Wilton Gregory issued a scathing statement ahead of the President’s visit to St. John Paul II’s National Shrine on Tuesday, which comes a day after his surprise, politically-timed photo-op in front of the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church.
“His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth,” Gregory said. “He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.”
The Archbishop is clearly a bleeding heart liberal, just like the main character in that book Trump has never read.
Catholic outreach is a natural thing for him. After all he didn’t use contraception when he raw dogged a porn star.
I am proud of Archbishop Wilton here. My husband asked why the church itself was not locked (MY Catholic church here in NM is locked ‘for the duration’ of the covid shutdown) and I don’t have an answer (do not know the specifics of ‘that’ particular spot; maybe permitted open with social distancing in force?). But I noted that there was no ‘welcome committee’ at the church so there is THAT.
Humpty-Trumpty. Took a great fall…
Why is Catwoman standing next to him?
It’s the right verbal response, but he’s the Archbishop – does he have no authority to dissuade the planned event from actually happening? He’s acting like a helpless leaf blown by a breeze he doesn’t control, when in fact the Catholic church is incredibly hierarchical and the Archbishop has considerable authority. He doesn’t even need to forbid Trump from attending; saying “all are welcome to worship, but no cameras will be permitted on the private grounds” would be plenty to keep Trump away. It’s the only reason he’s going, after all.

Is Trump going to announce that John Paul II is getting better and better.
So he can grab her by… her tail?
Could she look any more ridiculous? I can’t imagine how.
It appears Washington Archbishop Wilton Gregory is Antifa, sort of like the rest of us.
i almost have the inability to comment today.
but your post, to me, is the best one I have seen today
Antifa. Antifatso.
I think you’re mistaken. I’m pretty sure that’s Scatwoman.
Wonder if Donnie is going to confession? That would tie him up for the next decade or so…
He’s heard good things about Pope John Paul II from Frederick Douglass.
He’s planning to have the Trump event transferred quietly to another archdiocese?
It wasn’t at a church, but a shrine that is not owned by the church.
Plus, I don’t think donnie went inside they just hung a wreath…awkwardly…on the Pope’s statue and then posed around it.
