Dallas Texas -- Yes, TEXAS -- Catholic Bishop Kevin Farrell, has invited his fellow U.S. bishops and ALL Catholics to work to mitigate gun violence:

where he also says: "Thank God that someone finally has the courage to close the loopholes in our pitiful gun control laws to reduce the number of mass shootings, suicides and killings that have become a plague in our country."
Then on June 23, 2016 PIttsburgh's Bishop David Zubick, a member of the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, published an excellent statement about the need for gun control. It can be found at:

Thank Bishop zubick at: dzubik@diopitt.org/ or Phone: 412-456-3010
then please endorse this petition to urge the other 13 Pennsylvania Catholic bishops to follow Bp. Zubik's lead:
"We urge the PCC (Pennsylvania Catholic Conference) bishops -- individually and collectively -- to follow the lead of Bp. Kevin Farrell of Dallas, TX regarding mitigating Gun Violence"
.
As we honor Nancy Grogan's wonderful initiative: "Philadelphia Catholics For Fewer Guns," which anticipated ours by almost two years. It's a must see: www.pcfg.org
