Bishop Stowe protests lack of USCCB resistance to Trump administration

CWN Editor's Note: Bishop John Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky has voiced his disappointment that the US bishops’ conference has not voiced opposition to the plans of president-elect Donald Trump.
Speaking to Crux, Bishop Stowe criticized a speech in which Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the episcopal conference, said that he looked forward to working cooperatively with the Trump administration. “There was no such harmonious recommendation during the Biden administration,” Bishop Stowe claimed, saying that the US bishops had expressed “outright resistance” to Biden.
Bishop Stowe protested that the US bishops’ conference had not amended its “Faithful Citizenship” document, offering guidance to Catholic votes, but “continued to assert that abortion is the pre-eminent issue, thereby practically endorsing somebody whose own position on abortion has actually fluctuated.”

Stowe should be taking advantage of the superb analyses at CatholicCulture. After reading the article on Crux it was obvious that the Bishop is in need of remedial eduction. The lack of a sense of proportion in the gravest issue and his borderline ad hominem remarks disqualifies him from serious consideration. Stowe's ecclesiology more resembles that of a high school student than a noteworthy bishop.

Stowe and the US bishops who think that a wide open unguarded border is a "charitable immigration policy" need to see the abandoned toddlers wondering alone through the desert. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
