Sending Thoughts and Prayers

For the last 12 or 18 months I have had the kind of feeling you get when someone or something vital is missing - this with regard to the United States. Today it feels like a corpus delicti has been trotted out in some kind of cruel, twisted triumph. No emoji can express how I feel.

I believe history will show that today is a huge indictment on American Christians, including, perhaps especially, Catholics. I feel betrayed by Catholic leadership, ashamed of this family.
