    The Olympic opening ceremonies’ blasphemous mockery of the Last Supper must be condemned not because it is culturally insensitive but because it offends God. Let us pray in reparation and for conversion. ⁦@FWdiocese⁩ ⁦@NolanCatholic⁩ ⁦@USCCB⁩ ⁦@americamag⁩

    To equate access to abortion, the direct killing of an unborn child, with universal access to needed healthcare is morally incoherent and incompatible with authentic Catholic doctrine. Today is a shameful anniversary. @Pontifex @USCCB @FWdiocese @AdvFdn @TCCUA @TXCatholic

    As we mark the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, now is the time to rededicate ourselves to the work ahead. From codifying Roe to eliminating maternal and infant health disparities, our Administration is committed to ensuring everyone has access to the health care they need.

    Please join me in praying for @ArchCordileone for his protection during these times as he shepherds all of his flock with perseverance and fortitude. Please pray for the ongoing conversion of @SpeakerPelosi and for others who place themselves at odds with the Gospel of Life.

    I am a Catholic because the Church's doctrine convinced me it was true -- because, as a young Christian believer, the Church's intellectual tradition told me that no question was out of bounds, and that I didn't have to check my reason at the door.

    I join my voice and prayers to those of my brother bishops that we might work hard to end racism in our hearts and in society. May God give comfort to the family of #GeorgeFloyd in this time of anguish.
