In unusually direct terms for an American church leader, Bishop John Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky, publicly criticized President Donald Trump during a July 31 webinar.,/i>
"For this president to call himself pro-life, and for anybody to back him because of claims of being pro-life, is almost willful ignorance. He is so much anti-life because he is only concerned about himself, and he gives us every, every, every indication of that," Stowe said.
Though the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops often criticizes Trump administration policies, especially those concerning immigration and environmental protection, Stowe's comment was one of the sharper criticisms a Catholic bishop has made of Trump himself.
The webinar, on the topic of the church's future after 2020, was hosted by the International Catholic Movement for Intellectual and Cultural Affairs, or ICMICA-Pax Romana, a global lay community of Catholic intellectuals.
Pope Francis has given us a great definition of what pro-life means," Stowe said at the webinar. "He basically tells us we can't claim to be pro-life if we support the separation of children from their parents at the U.S. bordOn March 12, 2015, Pope Francis appointed Stowe bishop of the Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky.er, if we support exposing people at the border to COVID-19 because of the facilities that they're in, if we support denying people who have need for adequate health care access to health care, if we keep people from getting the housing or the education that they need, we cannot call ourselves pro-life."

The National “Catholic” Reporter is a pro-abortion rag funded by pro- babykilling individuals and groups.
Catholicism does not endorse babykilling in any way shape or form or regard any other issue as having the moral weight of butchering children by the hundreds of thousands every year.
Thanks for pointing out what an idiot is this bishop.
The catholic church is quickly becoming the “enemy within”
This bishop is militantly pro-homosexual.
Fudgepacker.

If I were President Trump I would tell this bishop ‘Get behind me Satan’!
Well, that explains a lot.
Yes, but I distinctly remember this bishop weighing in before the full video was seen, condemning the boys. I’ll have to search for it.
Another Whited Sepulchre.
Francis is a problem.
Catholics deserve better.
Pro-gay people tend to be anti-baby people for obvious reasons.
They make millions placing uncouth invaders in suburban and rural areas.
Yep. And believe themselves “charitable” while getting paid.
