To whom it may concern,

            In view of the victory of an authoritarian Presidential candidate with vaguely Catholic-aligned positions on some polarizing issues, I ask that the USCCB not become régime stooges like the bishops did with people like Franco in Spain and Duplessis in Québec. It is a strategy for Catholic engagement with politics that has backfired within half a century in every country in which it has been tried in modern times (perhaps an argument can be made that in Ireland it took slightly longer than that), in addition to being immoral in itself.

Yours sincerely,

Nathan M. Turowsky MTS
