Two Catholic bishops have expressed regret about agreeing to a White House meeting that produced a publicly distributed photo of them praying with Donald Trump.

Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, in a statement titled “A Public Apology,” said Sunday that he had received many questions and comments — some of them distraught — about the meeting on Thursday which he and 11 other bishops attended.

He said the meeting was speedily publicized by the White House with photos and a video, without consent of the participants, and less than two weeks away from the midterm elections.

I cant beleive these bishops could possibly be that dumb. Its impossible. They exactly knew what they were doing. These are the same kind of church officials who collaborated with the nazis.. They are just sad they are getting any blowback from it.

I say excommunicate the lot of them, or at least remove their titles and park them in a monestary for a few years to farm carrots. This is a glaring signal in the sky that the American catholic church needs to be under better management and the rotten ones need to be taken out by the roots. Its not a time for half measures.
