El Paso bishop calls on Trump to ‘examine himself’ on rhetoric
Crux ^ | August 6, 2019 | Christopher White

Posted on 08/05/2019 11:41:29 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Following back-to-back gun massacres that left 31 dead in Texas and Ohio, Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso said it was “appropriate” for President Donald Trump to call out the white supremacy that motivated the Texas shooting, but said the president must also examine his own rhetoric in the matter.

In his remarks from the White House on Monday morning, the president called for the nation to “condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy” and labeled the weekend’s attacks as “evil.”

The president called for bipartisan efforts to combat gun violence, while focusing much of his ten-minute address to lamenting “the perils of the internet and social media.”

In an interview with Crux following those remarks, Seitz said that the president should “examine himself and the kind of rhetoric that contributes to the hatred of a whole group of people.”

Maybe the Bishop needs to examine why he is promulgating lies.

What about the leftist crap, is their violent rhetoric any better? This cherrypicking bishop should learn to read the shooters’ alleged manifestos in their entirety.

Dear Bishop Seitz,

In response to your suggestion, I HAVE examined myself and am happy to report that everything is still down there.

Thanks for your concern.

Deflection always makes you wonder what they’re hiding.

They’ve lost the moral high ground for decades to come (if not forever) - especially when they refused to replace the hierarchy here from top down (in the US). The selection of Gregory as the DC bishop made it clear the Lavender Mafia was changing nothing - more business as usual (leftist agenda).

Phew. From watching the idiot mayor last night and now this guy, I’d say El Paso is a bit of a sh*thole.

So the Bishop is in favor of racism and bigotry?

Remember folks...criticize the man who like us all is a sinner, but not Jesus Christ who is the bridegroom of the Church. Criticism can be a lesson to keep us on track with God, it is also humbling as it wounds our pride...always helpful. Check yourself, again, then move forward with Christ.

Can’t be snowflakes ourselves or satan wins. Can’t destroy His Church or satan wins. Division is satan winning. Sin in any form is satan winning.

You can be as political as you want, Bishop...after you give up your church’s tax free status. Otherwise, STFU.

And that is much easier than just building a wall ? Restoring the International Border with Mexico is the only thing that will stop these attacks. And there are potentially millions coming.

Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso

He should examine the church coverup of thousands of pedophiles.
