[Barf Alert] Archbishop Wilton Gregory
Issues Statement on Planned Presidential Visit
WASHINGTON, D.C. –Here is a statement from Washington Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory regarding the planned visit today from the president at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine:
I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth. He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.

Francisbishop Gregory is nothing more than a race-baiting apostate and should be charged with inciting violence.

One of the reasons I no longer give to the Lenten Appeals anymore. Giving to St Jude’s instead.

We shudder to imagine what Gregory's religious principles might be. Note tagline (and vice versa).

Maybe someone should remind the Bishop that Trump is pro-life, unlike the POS that was in the WH before him. I sure hope the Bishop issued an insulting statement about Zero whenever he visited a Catholic institution.

I witness firsthand his incompetence and pride just before the Margaret Mitchell house thing blew up a few years back. He is not a Shepard who has any of my respect. Glad to see him leave us in Atlanta but hate it for the faithful in DC.

“I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree.”
Well now I’m baffled.
Seems “our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree.” should include Trump too.

May 2019: ALANTA (ChurchMilitant.com) - Archbishop Wilton Gregory placed a priest back into active ministry after previously removing him for engaging in homosexual misconduct.

...which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree... Evidently that doesn't include a President that you disagree with.
Blatant hypocrisy fail.

Well, ya got what he promised - coming from Chicago to Atlanta, then to Washington DC positions. Ever-higher on top of the faux pope’s promotion list.

The President should ask him how the McCarrick investigation is coming.

RCINC is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet. The bishop is just making sure his CEO (Francis) knows he is loyal, and will be favorably considered when a senior management opening (cardinal) is available.

Also, with respect to this: "Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth. He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace." Actually, St. Pope John Paul II supported putting down the Sandinistas, in contrast to Marxists like Gregory.
