Archbishop of San Antonio says there needs to be tougher gun laws following Uvalde shooting, reports say

"...These massacres cannot be considered 'the new normal,'" he said in a statement

SAN ANTONIO San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller has spoken out against loose gun laws following the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, where 19 students and two teachers were killed.

The archbishop, whose archdiocese reaches Uvalde, told reporters that "of course" there is a need for tougher rules on gun ownership, according to the Huffington Post.

"Of course! Of course! Because anything that can be connected with death and aggression We have to, we're supposed to promote life, the life of people," he told reporters on Wednesday outside an auditorium where Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was giving a press conference.

"It's people's lives. We have to be consistent in our ethics at least, as Catholics," Garcia-Siller added.
---------------------------------
The archbishop also told ABC News that there's an issue with mental health, especially during a pandemic, but "guns have been in all the situations that we have witnessed."

Gustavo Garcia-Siller initially released a statement on Tuesday evening, hours after the shooting.
In the statement, he said "these massacres cannot be considered 'the new normal.'"

"The Catholic Church consistently calls for the protection of all life; and these mass shootings are a most pressing life issue on which all in society must act elected leaders and citizens alike," he said in a portion of the statement.

SA Archbishop needs to do his job comforting families and ministering to them, and STFU on the gun issue.

He's entitled to his opinion, like anyone else, and nothing more.

And as mentioned... his thoughts on baby murderers and the tools they use? Tongs/ giant tweezers bad?

For the life of me I will never understand why people ignore this reality. Do they think it will be different in the good old USA? It will not be, if they ever come for guns your dead either way.

Prove history wrong.

Won't speak out publicly and condemn abortion or tell liberal Catholics to stop voting for it though.

Who said anything about hate? I'm just curious if the Vatican bodyguards use guns. Because if they do, this archbishop's statement is way out of line.

It's okay, I know leadership is human and subject to error.
Trump will fix it.

It's one man's opinion, not a matter of faith, not binding on anyone.

However brought to this board for all the good ole boys to Catholic bash, because meh Francis....

Again, it's not a matter of bashing Catholics. It's a matter of pointing out glaring hypocrisy.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:


The Swiss Guard in their function as bodyguards are equipped with the SIG Sauer P220 pistol and the SIG SG 550 rifle (or its SG 552 variant) also in use by the Swiss Army. As recruits to the Swiss Guard must have undergone basic military training in Switzerland, they are already familiar with these weapons when they begin their service. The pepper spray used by the Swiss Army (RSG-2000) is also in use. The Glock 19 pistol and Heckler & Koch MP7 submachine gun are reportedly also carried by Swiss Guard members in their function as plainclothes bodyguards.
Trump will fix it.

Abortion outside the womb by AR 15 is already illegal. Abortion of a baby is legal. Kinda different.

As a devout C&E catholic I approve of this message.

Coming from a leader of the organization that when plagued with pedophile priests instead of promoting stricter pederasty laws they simply moved the pederasts around.

Seriously?
Did the Archbishop say anything about eliminating guns or taking them away from police? I may not agree with him, but this "gotcha" is idiotic.
