KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The National Catholic Reporter (NCR), an independent Catholic news source, published an editorial Thursday urging the Vatican to investigate the leadership of the more than 400 Catholic bishops in the United States.
NCR said such action is warranted because of the bishops failure to mount sufficient challenges to former President Donald Trump s policies in such areas as immigration, the death penalty and police violence against people of color. NCR also criticized a statement the bishops issued following President Biden s inauguration that was focused on abortion and various issues of gender and sexuality.
