Maybe the letter should be sent to all members of Congress and the White House and the presumed new Vatican ambassador.This is not just a religious concern this is and has been a moral issue of humanity and what should be a time of human ascendency is sadly stuck in immoral treatment and concern for those not rich,not blessed by a god of prosperity.
Think of what happened while Moses was talking to Yahweh- mass amnesia of hope and wallowing in fear and thus worship of a gold calf . Loss of the ability to have for love of one another - to see each human as a carrier and symbol of  God and in the RC tradition Jesus.Each human not those at high class charity events or at a large fancy cathedral. The Jesus and Mary of the streets, the prisons,the detention centers, the hospitals and nursing homes.
We have been given many role models. So many have turned away, blinded their eyes, put clay in their ears. Heaven weeps.
