The letter to Trump should be distributed at each Mass in each parish all across the U.S.A.  This is the kind of "continuing education" on important social issues that Catholics do not hear about often enough.  More importantly, this letter could incite the local parish based action that helps people to realize that just voting is not enough.  They must keep up with what politicians are doing and make some effort in-between election cycles to keep their elected officials aware of what they consider important.

I am especially glad to see this as I think it important that the bishops not be seen as the only voices representing Catholicism and Catholic citizens to local, state, or national government or to the public at large.  We are not narrow people focused only on a few "culture war" issues nor do we all think that we can or should sell one issue down the river in order to accomplish another - an important consideration in today's political divisive landscape.
