As a national preacher for the National Eucharistic Revival, I've preached in sunbelt parishes, humble rural churches and suburban auditoriums. All of them have been filled with God's grace.

"Together with my brother bishops, we condemn political violence, and we offer our prayers for President Trump, and those who were killed or injured," said Archbishop Broglio, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Many political and faith leaders, even as they prayed for Trump, also asked for prayers for the country as a whole, and particularly America’s polarized political landscape.

There’s a lot at stake in our country and in our church. We must learn from those with experience, but we must also prepare the next generation to take our place.

Socially responsible investing should be a priority for Catholic institutions and individuals alike. But investors need to look beyond negative screening to see other possibilities.

With all due respect to the leadership, I believe the U.S. bishops’ conference is quietly taking extraordinary actions that curtail our sacred social mission.
