text: I'm saddened that the Pope ;and Bishop McElroy are so uninformed that they do not grasp the actions President Trump is taking have the same goals enumerated by Bishop McElroy.  Half of the American public realize this and thus elected him President.  It reflects poorly on the Church that the hierarchy are so poorly informed that they believe the outright lies published by the media and promote "action" that is destructive instead of first trying to understand more fully what is happening.  A simple meeting of Bishops with the President would clarify these matters instead of Church authorities making fools of themselves at a time when the Church is badly needed.
  
  Furthermore, the Church hierarchy does not realize that a civil cultural and political war is underway and that by unknowingly taking sides with the forces that wish to kill the Catholic Church they are sewing the seeds of their own demise.  Fully informed Catholics, and there are many, are shaking their heads tonight.
