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."

Any Catholic cleric that supports Biden is a phoney.
My church needs some major housecleaning.
Trump is pro life. The Democrats support the massacre of infants, ripped out of the womb becasue they are unwanted. I’ll take Trump any day over Joe Biden with his dementia and a history of enriching himself and his family from his public office.
Invasion of the United States is not a sin?
Sounds like a political statement, so I guess that tax exempt status needs to be revoked.
TRANSLATION: “We want our immigrant-invader resettlement money!”
Truth doesn’t need a defense...it just is. God will take care of this. God knows PDJT’s words and actions and they have been stellar.
Pharisees
I am going to guess this guy is in full support of the embrace by Notre Dame of homosexuality cemented by its recent formal association with Buttigieg.
Shame.
Shame.
Is it pro-life to support doctors separating babies from limbs?
news flash CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS when the parent is arrested for committing a crime and the children are with them!
Doesn’t matter if it’s at the border or not, if its a 10th generation US citizen that robs a bank with their child and is caught.. the CHILDREN ARE TAKEN away and the adult sent to jail without them. Works this way EVERYWHERE in the world. Not aware of ANY “family” jails in the world
“Pope Francis has given us a great definition of what pro-life means”
And ya wonder why the church pews are empty every sunday. /s
He should go back to molesting young boys, something I’m sure he know’s a lot about !!
Sounds like the lavender mafia might be getting nervous.
You Know Nothing, John Stowe.
Another Catholic showing their roots.
