After the terrible attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston put the problem besetting America thus: “As a nation, we must come to grips with the incessant violence that has too often become the norm. It must stop. We must find peaceful ways to resolve our differences and avoid all political violence of every kind”.
His observations were echoed by Archbishop Timothy Broglio who is President of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops: “We pray for our country and for an end to political violence, which is never a solution to political disagreements”.
