'Reprehensible': DC Catholic archbishop slams Trump visit to John Paul II Shrine

Wilton Gregory, the Catholic archbishop of the diocese of Washington, on Tuesday slammed President Trump's visit to the John Paul II Shrine in the city.

"I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which calls us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree," Gregory said in a statement.

Gregory said that John Paul II, a defender of human rights and opponent of communism, would not have approved of Trump's use of tear gas on Monday to disperse protesters in front of the White House. Trump had the protesters displaced so that he could visit St. John's, an Episcopal church that was burned by rioters on Sunday.

Many photographers snapped pictures of Trump holding an unopened Bible in front of the church.

Any criticism for the people who set fire to "your" church, Mr Archbishop?

Hey Archbishop, reprehensible?  You wantt to talk about the little boys?

No time for that, they are too busy getting in line with China.

Predictably, Trump never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity!!!
Instead of standing in front of the Church w/a frown on his face and
a Bible in his hand, he might has taken a knee and said a brief prayer.
But such gestures are beyond Trump when cameras are clicking!!!

Fantastic! Thank you, @realDonaldTrump
, for visiting this special shrine. You honor us who are #Catholic, and you continue to fight for all believers & all Americans!

Those who don't appreciate these actions of yours can't recognize leadership when it's right before their eyes!
