"I Am Outraged" DC Bishop Denounces trump's Visit To Church After Police Clear Protesters With Tear Gas

[Polishprince]

"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,” the archbishop said in a statement. “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 is certainly entitled to embrace Socialism and Antifa if he likes. But President Trump isn't going to go for that.

Isn't this the Church of the Holy Fudgepackers?

In January 2020, Trump is going to PRISON for a lot of crimes. Clink clink. Lock him up!

So much for "healing". I wonder if the arch bishop will have any strong words for you.


Or will that be different somehow, because he is a political whore.

Trump`s doing a heck of a job. He brought back the 1918 pandemic, the 1929 Depression and now the 1968 riots. More Winning!

Actually, it was the Roman Catholic archbishop who made the pledge to Liberalism, and Catholic bishops are all dudes.

How is Trump in any way responsible for the way the Far Left city of Minneapolis in Deep Blue Minnesota supervises their police officers?

China is responsible for the first two, and you lefties for the third.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. - Posse Comitatus Act - Wikipedia


Yesterday, the current occupant of the White House deployed federal military personnel to disperse a domestic peaceful protest so that he might engage in the most transparent and clumsy of pandering photo ops of all time.

This act was not to quell a riot. This act was not to repel a foreign enemy or a rebellion against the United States.

It was so he could take a picture holding a borrowed bible which, quite frankly, I am amazed did not burst into flames the moment he touched it.

Former Commanders Fault Trump’s Use of Troops Against Protesters

Retired senior military leaders condemned their successors in the Trump administration for ordering active-duty units on Monday to rout those peacefully protesting police violence near the White House.

Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote on Twitter that “America is not a battleground. Our fellow citizens are not the enemy.”

And Gen. Tony Thomas, the former head of the Special Operations Command, tweeted: “The ‘battle space’ of America??? Not what America needs to hear … ever, unless we are invaded by an adversary or experience a constitutional failure … ie a Civil War.”

This is the best book. They call it the good book! And it is! It's very, very good. Terrific. My favorite part is Chapter 11.

These were peaceful protestors. Trump is a dictatorial thug and a animal. The Arlington Police force responded to a request from the Park Police to do this. However they realize they were had and have since withdrawn.

What protests were peaceful? Is arson a sign of peace?
HOW were the Arlington police "had". Please be specific and have the guts to respond, for once.

And why is the bishop of the Episcopal church politicizing this whole issue, condemning Trump for standing
in front of the church but saying nothing about Joe Biden's comments insulting Trump?

The video clearly shows they were peaceful protestors. There was no arson. The Arlington Police force used tear gas on demonstrators. Very shortly after that, the Arlington Police pulled their officers. They realized there were no violent protests.

"The county is re-evaluating the agreements that allowed our officers to be put in a compromising position that endangered their health and safety, and that of the people around them, for a purpose not worthy of our mutual aid obligations," the county said.

Libby Garvey, a member of the Arlington County county board, said on Twitter she was "appalled" that the "mutual aid agreement [was] abused to endanger their and others safety for a photo op."

The Bishop is not playing politics. He was rightfully angry that Trump had used force on peaceful protestors and used his church for a photo op. Biden has not and his comments were on the mark. Trump is a dictatorial thug.

They didn't use the Military. Since this thread is a lie I'd think someone of your......position and rank should fix it.

The fact is that Trump has done nothing to defuse the situation. He has made it worse. Even Republicans have admitted his comments were unhelpful.

Let the bishop stew.

Who cares?

Looked like one of those Lesbian preachers that pass themselves off as a person of the cloth.
Jesus wouldn't act like that fake Bishop and she needs to put a cork in it.

Trump supporters are the fake Christians. You people ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ. We need to put a cork in you.
