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."

Another Catholic showing their roots.
agree-my Catholic Church has too many in it where their real religion is the Democratic party
TDS is forcing all sorts of swamp creatures to expose themselves.
Biden is ethnically Catholic. Trump is anti immigration.
Thr bishop is expressing his self interest. Just like the guy on Relevant Radio did 4 years ago when he was begging people to vote Hillary, because the left would destroy the church if Trump was elected
Actually Catechism says immigrants must respect laws of host country. JP 2 said wealthy countries obliged to accept immigrants only to extent it is able.
Would someone please explain to me what the Catholic church actually does for the poor, besides favor socialism?
Take away the tax exemption of the Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky since they are supposed to stay out of politics. This bishop can go f himself — oh wait he probably prefers little boys as so many of the Catholic clergy does. He has no business spouting off on anything given the history/hypocrisy of the Catholic Church.
Is this the asshole who condemned the Covington kids? He needs to be sued.
Another pawn on the chessboard of life. 1-Dimensional chess.

Trump rebukes Bishop John Stowe as ‘anti-life’
Another leftist anti-Christian buffoon.
Well, all I know is that, of all the Presidents in my lifetime (since Truman!), President Trump is the ONLY one who attended the March for Life.
The.
Only.
One.
And, in those years, we have had Democrats and Republicans, Catholics and Protestants, Born-Agains and Quakers, Evangelicals and Nondenominationals.
But President Trump was:
The’
Only.
One.
Screw this loser
Sobering revelation. Very sobering.
Yet this catholick “bishop” was selected by the pope ...
I refuse to listen to any fool who uses the expression “anti-life.” The fact that this particular fool is a bishop only makes it even more idiotic!
“The road to perdition is paved with the skulls of bishops.”
As the dems are culling the sick and elderly in nursing homes
I’ve flushed better turds than this piece of Popish cr@p...
You have to wonder how many altar boys he’s abused over the course of his “ministry”...
