Chris MarkowskiHOST
Much to learn from the now blessed Bishop Fulton Sheen.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
Um, I'm gonna share with you something from the, um, Archbishop, uh, Paul Coakley, what he wrote today and a couple of other things.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
And I'm gonna be straight up honest with everybody.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
I've been doing this show for, uh, 26 years now, 26 years now.
Kyle WashutGUEST
So there's these conversions.
Kyle WashutGUEST
Archbishop Coakley, who's the president of the USCCB, found his vocation at that program, but he got shut down.
Kyle WashutGUEST
He was shut down in 1979.
Kyle WashutGUEST
But the man who wrote the story of that program was the one who helped found Wyoming Catholic College.
Zac DavisHOST
In the last couple of years, as Donald Trump has began his second term and Pope Leo has been elected Pope, the U.S. bishops seem more outspoken than ever on things like immigration and war, especially.
Zac DavisHOST
Most recently, after the Trump administration revoked temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants, the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, that's Archbishop Paul Coakley, wrote a President Trump directly asking him to end mass deportations to Haiti.
Zac DavisHOST
And that's just one example of a chorus of bishops who have been chiming in on this issue.
Zac DavisHOST
Over the summer, Archbishop Wensky of Miami and really all of Florida's bishops have spoke out forcefully against Florida's Catholic governor, Ron DeSantis, and the death penalty amid a spree of executions there.
Heidi SchlumpfCORRESPONDENT
I guess he had been forced to wear an ankle monitor like a criminal, and we should definitely note that Haitians came to this country legally through this temporary protected status.
Heidi SchlumpfCORRESPONDENT
So Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, who is the current president of the bishops' conference, sent a letter to President Donald Trump last week on September 8th, urging him to cease the deportation of Haitians.
Heidi SchlumpfCORRESPONDENT
these large numbers of Haitian immigrants.
Heidi SchlumpfCORRESPONDENT
And I noted at the bottom of the letter that he cc'd Secretary of State Marco Rubio and also the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Robert P. JonesHOST
And he didn't quite hold the line on that the way I wish he would.
Robert P. JonesHOST
But I do think that was really important to have a Republican president saying those things.
Diana Butler BassHOST
Yeah.
Robert P. JonesHOST
And like I said, even if you look at the data.
Diana Butler BassHOST
Yeah, and it's interesting.
Diana Butler BassHOST
I think part of the conversation that we would have in a bigger sort of frame, I mean, he's right about how the attitudes didn't show up until 10 years later.
Diana Butler BassHOST
But what were they saying about Obama when he was running for president, which was not 10 years later? That was only, what, six, seven years later.
Diana Butler BassHOST
The big rap was, oh, he's a secret Muslim president.
Veronica DudoHOST

Veronica DudoHOST
In remembrance of the 9-11 attacks, Archbishop Paul Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, released a statement that ended with a call to prayer, saying...
Veronica DudoHOST
As we pray for our nation's continued healing, for the souls of all the lost on that day, and the comfort of their families, let us implore the Holy Spirit to conform us increasingly into the image of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and together build a civilization of love and universal fraternity.
Veronica DudoHOST
The attacks on September 11th shocked the world, including the Holy Father.
Josh MercerHOST
The head of the US bishops called on Catholics to be Christ's instrument of peace on this, the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Josh MercerHOST
Archbishop Paul Coakley called on all Catholics to turn to prayer to remember the people who lost their lives on this day.
Josh MercerHOST
In a special way, the archbishop said, "We lovingly embrace in prayer the victims' families and friends who still mourn the irretrievable loss of their loved ones on that day.
Josh MercerHOST
We also remember the first responders and emergency workers, so many who gave their lives in selfless acts of courage." The president of the US bishops said that this solemn day should be a reminder about how faith lifted us up and sustained us.

Jared StoutGUEST
This is what John Sr. said, and it's similar to what we heard from St. John Henry Newman.
Jared StoutGUEST
If you don't know John Sr., he was the teacher of Bishop Conley, Archbishop Coakley, the founding monks of Clear Creek at the University of Kansas, a secular program.
Jared StoutGUEST
He just read the great books with his students and opened their eyes to reality.
Jared StoutGUEST
And it led to over 200 conversions to the Catholic faith, which shut down the program because of lawsuits and all of these things at a secular university.
