There is nothing Christlike about Barr. It saddens me that the church I grew up in seems to have learned nothing from its mistakes and is instead doubling down on embracing the worst.
The National Catholic Prayer Breakfast will present an award to Attorney General Barr for “Christlike behavior” tomorrow morning. A.G. Barr has ordered the executions of six men with at least one more on the calendar. What is “Christlike” about using discretionary power to kill?

Maybe reflect on why this is the case in this state. If you have pastors doxxing people from the pulpit, maybe there’s something broken in GOP politics.
