Observations: Too Late

The world is transfixed and bewildered by the government of the United States led by Donald Trump. In the U.S. there is increasing shock and anger even among those who voted for Trump at what is happening to their country. America’s bishops, many of whom supported him, are now trying to respond to policies and actions that violate human dignity and hurt various Church programs. It is, however, too late for them to effectively play a prophetic role in opposing the abuse of power. Father William Grimm shares some thoughts on this.
