By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - Most American dioceses are in tough financial shape these days, having spent millions to settle sex-abuse claims and then (surprise!) seeing a steep drop in donations. These financial problems are typically solved (temporarily) by closing down parishes, not by paring down the size of the diocesan bureaucracy.

By David Nussman, Church Militant - (Pres. Trump) spoke at one point about the right to life, condemning forces at the United Nations that promote a radical pro-abortion agenda… "Americans will also never tire of defending innocent life," Trump told international leaders. "We are aware that many United Nations projects have attempted to assert a global right to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand, right up until the moment of delivery."… He continued, "Global bureaucrats have absolutely no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that wish to protect innocent life. Like many nations here today, we in America believe that every child, born and unborn, is a sacred gift from God."

By Fr. Gerald E. Murray, The Catholic Thing - Holy Father, it is three years since four cardinals sent you the Dubia concerning certain statements in Amoris Laetitia [AL]. Their request to meet with you and to receive a response has gone unanswered. Why? The Dubia cardinals simply brought to your attention the concerns and critiques of a significant number of perplexed Catholics who do not see how various statements in AL do not constitute a rejection of Catholic doctrine, especially in contested matters authoritatively dealt with by your two immediate predecessors... You tell reporters that you want to hear criticisms, and then ignore those criticisms from your closest collaborators? You tell bishops not to close their ears and doors to priests who want to discuss matters with them, when you have turned away for three years cardinals who exercised the Gospel frankness (parrhesia) you so often call for.

God tells us to obey them… [The Lord God says,] See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him. If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you (Exodus 23:20-22).
