Archbishop Timothy Broglio, JCD, serves as President of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men. Among his past roles, he served as Chairman of the Committee on International Justice and Peace. On Jan. 22, one day after President Trump’s first full day in office, in which he signed multiple executive orders, Archbishop Broglio issued a statement, which includes this passage:

  “No matter who occupies the White House or holds the majority on Capitol Hill, the Church’s teachings remain unchanged. It is our hope that the leadership of our country will reconsider those actions which disregard not only the human dignity of a few, but of us all.” 

The statement concludes with:

  “Our prayer is one of hope that, as a Nation blessed with many gifts, our actions demonstrate a genuine care for our most vulnerable sisters and brothers, including the unborn, the poor, the elderly and infirm, and migrants and refugees. The just Judge expects nothing less.”
