A few weeks ago, I “shared” a Facebook post. It was a brief pastoral statement issued by the president and vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Cardinal DiNardo and Archbishop Gomez offered a joint message as bishops in response to President Trump’s recent executive order on refugees. The Facebook comments were so harsh and divisive that I quickly removed the post. It was painful to be reminded of how difficult it often is to engage in civil discourse without resorting to name calling and imputing motives to others.
As you see, much of this current issue of the Sooner Catholic is dedicated to our Annual Catholic Appeal. I hope you will read each feature and consider how beautifully “God’s Light Shines Through Us” when we act together as members of the one Body of Christ.

Como pueden ver, gran parte de este número de la publicación "Sooner Catholic" está dedicada a nuestra Campaña Católica Anual. Espero que usted lea cada sección y considere como "La Luz de Dios Brilla a Través de Nosotros" de manera tan bella cuando actuamos juntos como miembros del único Cuerpo de Cristo.
