Stupid on Stilts
Bishop Wilton Gregory channels St. Pope John Paul II the Great. The Jews have a word for it...CHUTZPAH.
Bishop Gregory, with no evidence, makes this an issue of race - then condones the destruction of private property by thugs. The same thugs that vandalized St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City.
Washington Archbishop Wilton Gregory had some harsh words for President Trump and his visit Tuesday to the Saint John Paul II National Shrine: “I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree.”
“Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth. 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 said in a statement.
Trump visited the shrine earlier Tuesday, accompanied by his wife, First Lady Melania Trump.
On Sunday, Gregory said, “In astonishment, we are seeing the reactions of people across the United States as they express feelings of frustration, hurt, and anger in their cry for justice for George Floyd, whom we painfully watched being suffocated in front of our eyes on video in Minneapolis, Minn. this past week. Many of us remember similar incidents in our history that accompanied the Civil Rights Movement, where we repeatedly saw black Americans viciously brutalized by police.”
