"There is no question that Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of the Archdiocese of San Francisco has long been a massive Trumper. He's been virulently against same-sex marriage forever, he flouted COVID restrictions during the deadliest days of the pandemic, he never missed an opportunity to publicly attack Nancy Pelosi or then-President Joe Biden. His Twitter posts of late are often making a martyr out of Charlie Kirk. Trump even named Cordileone to his so-called Religious Liberty Commission."
"Cordileone just publicly rebuked Trump, seemingly for the first time. The Chronicle reports that Cordileone joined 216 Catholic bishops in making a statement to condemn the Trump administration's mass deportation tactics. The statement was a special statement from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. That too is highly unusual, as special statements are considered a particularly urgent way of speaking as a body of bishops, and that conference has not issued any other special statements in the last 13 years."
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, a long-time Trump supporter, joined 216 U.S. Catholic bishops in condemning the Trump administration's mass deportation tactics. Cordileone previously opposed same-sex marriage, flouted COVID restrictions, and frequently attacked political figures while praising conservative media personalities. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a special statement opposing indiscriminate mass deportations and calling for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence toward immigrants and law enforcement. The special statement is rare for the conference and followed public urging from Pope Leo XIV for U.S. bishops to speak against recent immigration crackdowns.
