In my piece about Conclave: “In a key scene, Sister Agnes has to remind the churchmen that God also gave women eyes and ears. Though these aren’t currently the body parts that make one eligible for ordination in the church, perhaps change will come eventually.”

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

Cruelty this truly is, with no other apparent motive than to demean others and to save what amounts to a paltry sum in federal spending. For those of us in the Catholic community, cruelty should be especially alarming. And a call to action.

Don't be afraid to imagine how bad it will get.
