The Catholic bishops of the United States have issued a statement in wake of the death of George Floyd and the national protests. And peacefully demonstrating at the White House have been many Catholic priests and deacons including Fr. Thomas Reese, SJ (pictured above, center) and Rev. Deacon Jerry Collins of the Archdiocese of Washington. Trump falsely asserted the Mayor of Washington, DC (a Catholic lady) refused to allow the DC police to protect the White House against the demonstrations. The Mayor corrected Trump's lie and said that he was "a scared man, alone and afraid".
Our nuns, of course, are already far ahead of the clergy. That doesn't even need to be mentioned. The bishops' statement is linked here:
