US and Catholic Church Must Maintain a United Front

Both the Pope and the President of the US are entitled to misspeak and to utter injudicious reflections. And a vast organisation like the Roman Catholic Church has representatives that can be found to say almost anything. But both the Pope and the President and all who serve them have an obligation, especially in a time of crisis such as this, to avoid unnecessary abrasions between themselves. Despite many shortcomings, inanities, compromises, and even tragic misjudgements, the United States of America and the Roman Catholic Church are two of the mightiest pillars of Western civilisation and their leaders have an obligation to maintain as unified a front as possible against forces that can accurately be described as the Antichrist of our time.
