“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” (First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States)
The Pope, cardinals, bishops and priests must work more humbly and urgently with the entire community of the Catholic Church to atone for the tragedies perpetrated by abusive ministers of the Church.
“Peace in our nation and our neighborhoods, may we learn to value all human life, all ages, all abilities, all racial, ethnic, educational backgrounds, toward a feasible and possible relationship of integrity and cooperation! With safety in playgrounds and schools, in city streets and rural farms and forests, let us grow in Peace.”
Trinity students, faculty, staff and friends gathered to teach and learn about gun violence, and express solidarity with all who are seeking solutions to this great American tragedy.
Appalling. Contemptible. Repulsive. Despicable. Immoral. We must reject not only President Trump’s vulgar words but the deep racism the words represent.
We must see this moment in history not as an unbearable trial but as an opportunity for our values to triumph. We must speak up and shout out what we believe in every day.
50 years after the Land O’Lakes statement on Catholic higher education, we are called to be leaders of a new revolution for racial and social justice, for hope, for charity and peace.
Trinity joins the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in denouncing the elimination of DACA protection as a reprehensible rejection of Catholic and Christian values in social justice and care for those who are marginalized.
As a matter of social justice, deeply rooted in Catholic teachings on the dignity of human life and consistent with our mission values, Trinity stands proudly with our students who are Dreamers and urges preservation of the DACA program.
