There is a CRUX story today reporting that +Samuel Aquila (R-CO) has written an article for his diocesan newspaper (Denver) in which he effectively endorses Trump and the Republican ticket.  Predictably he's pretending to believe that Trump is pro-life -- and giving Trump a pass on his racism, xenophobia, misogyny, nativism and his fascism.  Catholic clergy (including Fr. Pavone of Priests for Life) who endorse Trump, support him, or in any way provide a rationalization for voting for him, are doing grave harm to the country, to the church and to the cause they purport to advocate.  I hope that the priests of Denver will remind the people that, although their bishop is entitled to his political opinions, they are entitled to theirs, too.  And I hope they will decline to say or do anything from the pulpit or in their parish bulletins that would lend credence to the archbishop's irresponsible use of the diocesan newspaper.  Perhaps the archbishop will apologize for his error in judgment.
