Below is a post from US Bishop Robert Barron on his Facebook platform and then the link below includes comments on his appointment.
The bishop asks for prayers. Prayers for what? Birds of a feather flock together.
Pomposity is alive and well in the world of the episcopacy, whatever poor Pope Francis tried.
"I am grateful to President Trump for appointing me to serve on the Commission on Religious Liberty.
"Freedom of religion in our country has been a central concern of the United States Conference of Catholic
"Bishops for decades, and I see my task as bringing the perspective of Catholic social teaching to bear as the Commission endeavors to shape public policy in this matter. In assuming this responsibility, I take as my model Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, the legendary president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987.
"In the course of his career, Hesburgh served on sixteen separate presidential commissions over several decades in both Republican and Democrat administrations. I ask you to pray for me as I commence this important work."
