The fact that Bishop Barron has to rely on the example of Kathy Griffin, a third-rate B actor who mostly appears once a year on New Year's Eve as a sidekick to Anderson Cooper, in order to dredge up an example of liberal intemperance in the age of Trump tells you a lot about how far one needs to go in order to search for that elusive needle in the haystack of false equivalence. Compared with the avalanche of awful things Donald Trump has said and done since becoming president, Bishop Bannon's attempt at creating an equivalence with Kathy Griffin's lame attempt at humor falls completely flat. His silence on all of Trump's massive character flaws is an indictment his own character flaws and flaws as a bishop. Sadly, he is not alone.
