Bishop Edward Weisenburger of Tucson, Ariz., made a bolder suggestion, raising the possibility of implementing canonical penalties for Catholics “who are involved in this,” referring to children being separated from their families at the border.

This one really pisses me off. I do not mean to offend any practicing Catholics. but for 45 years these same "shepherds" have remained deaf, dumb, and blind when it comes to well known so-called Catholic public figures, like Congressional legislators, have actively opposed any Prolife measures; and, in some cases, promoted abortion policies. Meanwhile this collection of clowns have refused to do anything about it. Their inconsistency and duplicity is disgusting.
