Ah, well.  So now we have an Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism.  And so soon after disbanding the Special Task Force to Promote Peace in Our Communities, formed in 2016 to address racially related shootings around the country. 

Bishops Murray is to "pick up where the task force left off."  Will we have more recommendations for "prayer, local dialogues, parish- and diocesan-level conversation and training...?"   I hope he has something more in mind.  

The public picture is that Catholic bishops support Trump because Trump claims to be anti-abortion and says he supports "religious freedom."  And, the Catholic bishops obviously decided that those are more important issues than the racism and xenophobia Trump displayed all during his campaign.  We are where we are in part because of that choice the bishops made.

Would love to see a Catholic organized March of Unity taking place in every state and large city within the next few months.  How serious are the bishops?
