Washington DC Episcopal Bishop:
"He was using our church as a backdrop and the Bible as a prop in ways that I found deeply offensive..."
"The words "God is love" have this deep meaning that anything that is against love is ultimately doomed and damned" (PS The Bible is not a prop for political theater)
The captain isn't on the shore barking orders, but in the boat with us to bolster our hope and determination.

Good news! Texas just granted a stay of execution for Randy Halprin, a Jewish man denied a fair trial by a reportedly anti-Semitic judge. He was set to be executed on October 10 and had also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. aclu.org/blog/capital-punish…
At his weekly audience today (Oct 2), Pope Francis warns that "evangelization" is not "advertising" or "proselytizing" - but an openness to God's actions that enables freedom and responsibility in others.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic bishops released a video specifically calling for lawmakers to pass legislation that addresses gun violence.
They note a ban on assault weapons, ages for gun ownership, bump-stock bans, and universal background checks as possible solutions. xitter.gq/USCCB/status/970762669…
"The Church recognizes that recourse to self-defense is legitimate for one’s own safety. In today’s world, however, weapons that are increasingly capable of inflicting great suffering in a short period of time are simply too accessible." Read more: bit.ly/2oKkJuN

Many Catholics have told me they feel helpless, even paralyzed. I share this uncertainty and frustration. But I am convinced that we must do something, as difficult and seemingly ineffective as our modest efforts might be. americamagazine.org/politics…

Agree with Booker on both of these points - we should never forget that gun violence disproportionately impacts people of color and changes doesn't happen if we just give up. #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate

US Catholic Bishops: "We must come to the firm determination that there is a fundamental problem in our society. A Culture of Life cannot tolerate, and must prevent, senseless gun violence in all its forms." xitter.gq/USCCB/status/927301472…

A group led by a Catholic priest and several ministers shut down a major highway in the nation’s third largest city today, part of an effort to bring attention to gun violence and racial injustice. For people who think faith is no longer relevant, take note.

Using that pulpit to highlight gun violence in a visually powerful way—and asking pastors to consider preaching about the issue—could show Catholics that legislative action is needed to help curb gun violence.
