CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, and Bishop David Bonnar of Youngstown, Ohio, joined the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in condemning the White House Correspondents’ dinner shooting.

“I’m grateful that the president and his entourage are unhurt after this latest attack,” said Bishop Barron. “May I raise my voice against the viciousness and tribalism that are so prevalent on the internet and that contribute mightily to the violence we see in our political culture?”
