Here is a priest. And here is his bishop: Timothy Dolan.
Our bishop in northern Colorado is Samuel Aquila. Aquila's knee-jerk response to the George Floyd mess was to castigate his own flock for "racism", and to commend protests against it (i.e. against whites and police). Aquila did condemn violence... eventually... when violence went against Catholic icons. It has turned out that there was more to the Floyd story. That the man's death was not a murder, but an accidental suicide, from ingesting fentanyl.
As we found out with the Covington Ckids, bishops do not intercede for the laity of this world against the Prince Of This World, when the Prince attacks the laity.
I do not recommend "boycott the archbishop's appeal". I do recommend not paying to that appeal in New York. In Kentucky. And in northern Colorado.
The Spirit flows from the Father and from the Son. On occasions when the temporal Church which his Son instituted has failed us, we must switch to "The Patriarchy" - to the priesthood of all Believers. This is not "Protestantism" - this is legitimate protest. Can Bishop Aquila command honestly otherwise?
