American Catholics have a special duty at this hour to say, “Not in our name.”

To those in power who deal in violence and deceit — the evildoers, thugs, and murderers — we say: Not in our name. Not in the name of our God. We stand with the crucified, not the crucifiers. And we will continue to stand, come what may, until this dictatorship of lies is toppled by the invincible truth that lives and reigns forever.
