The bishops want young Catholics to answer protest with love. Lovely. Meanwhile the letter doesn’t say which concerns are troubling these kids, or who exactly is supposed to be on the receiving end of all that love. Is it the police? The government? Landlords? Nobody gets named, so nobody has to change anything. Calling for “no violence, no greed” is easy when you never ask what produced the anger.
