text: The bishops of the United States have utterly failed the test of moral leadership in the public arena.  By what they said and did, and by what they failed to say and do, they gave cover to Catholics to vote for and otherwise support the racist who now occupies the presidency.  The bishops cannot say or do anything credibly with respect to public moral issues without apologizing for their hideous misjudgment about Trump in particular, and about the concept of what constitutes "pro-life" advocacy in general.  Any statement any bishop, or group of bishops, makes about Charlottesville must begin with an acknowledgement of their moral failure and an apology. They helped elect a vicious racist, the most militantly anti-life president in history. Cancel the Fortnight for Freedom. Immediately.
