text: I think "responsible Roman Catholics with moral values, intellect, acumen and good will" can contribute to healing by reason of their  moral values, etc., but not precisely as Catholics. Too often, the hierarchy (often individual bishops, sometimes the Conference itself) undermines healing and unity by embracing right wing paranoia under the guise of "religious liberty." The wrong-headed intervention of some bishops and other clerics in the election, using their pulpits, bulletins or newspapers, to advance the candidacy of the racist, fascist Republican nominee, does disproportionate damage to the credibility of the church, harming not only other bishops and clerics, but also the "responsible Roman Catholics" you describe.  I cite my own experience: a daily communicant for most of my life, I stopped going to Mass after Mass on the Thursday before the election. I was unwilling to subject myself to one more campaign speech for Trump, given in lieu of the homily.
