Links: Vigneron's hypocrisy; Samantha Power in El Salvador; kudos to US mayors

Links: Vigneron's hypocrisy; Samantha Power in El Salvador; kudos to US mayors 

The Catholic News Agency, like the National Catholic Register, is deceptively named to fool Catholics who do not know that the Catholic News Service is the real voice of the American Church.

Vigneron believes in unity, as long as that unity agrees with him. It is very Trumpian of him.

Samantha Power's journey to Salvador was not just a pilgrimage. It was a hint that was easy to read. She is in a position to deny quite a bit of money should the hint not be taken.

Words have meaning. Calling oneself pro-life in a whole life context is as deceptive as the naming of the Catholic News Agency. One is either for turning the power of the state on pregnant women or one is not. If not, one is pro-choice. It is time for Catholics to explicitly support higher minimum wages and higher refundable child tax credits and punish any right to life Republicans who will not go along. Bishops too.

More than a few retiring U.S. Mayors likely have visions of 2022 House races. I don't suspect any Republicans who are in that group to go to anything at the White House. While we are honoring health care workers and mayors, it is a good time to honor veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
