Video: Live with Bishop John Stowe on Building a Common Future

In this conversation, NCR executive editor Heidi Schlumpf speaks with Bishop John Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky about President-elect Joe Biden's first 100 days and the advice he offers Biden in our series Building a Common Future.

Background reading:

• In his essay in our series, Bishop John Stowe writes that one area in which Joe Biden might begin to address the divide and promote the common good would be a genuine engagement in the issues of rural poverty.
• For this series, we asked Catholic politicians, activists and scholars to offer advice to President-elect Joe Biden. The series takes its title from Pope Francis' encyclical, Fratelli Tutti: "Building a Common Future," and it will continue in the days preceding the inauguration. Read all of the essays here.
• Heidi refers to another essay in this conversation, one published on January 14 and written by a Catholic priest and sister who share a counseling ministry. They write about how Catholics were conned by President Donald Trump and how we can respond to today's painful reality.

Join us next Thursday, January 21 at 2:30 Eastern/1:30 Central for the next live conversation on Building a Common Future. Heidi Schlumpf will be joined by Michael Sean Winters and Sr. Simone Campbell, executive director of Network Lobby for Catholic Social Justice. We'll be streaming live to Facebook and YouTube. See you there!

Let's just ignore the abortion issue, Bishop. You got what you wanted, Biden as "president".

John Stowe is a disgrace to the Catholic Church. He is the “gay bishop” - and proud of it - and encourages the UNfaithful to support sexual liberation as a kind of ultimate good. Any pope except Francis would have sent the fool packing long ago.

Y'all really believe that Plugs will make 100 days before Heels Up takes his position?

The Hildabeast cannot wait that long.

The National Catholic Distorter strikes again

[irishjuggler]

Yep, Stowe is one of the nastiest of those boys, regularly trashing pro-lifers.

[Deaf Smith]

So you are stating that Catholics are supporting a short term Plugs administration?
