Robert Lynch, a Catholic bishop with the Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL, discussed the tragedy in Orlando committed by gunman Omar Mateen in a blog post Monday.
Lynch noted three points, including the need for stricter gun control laws, whose loopholes allowed Mateen to purchase an AR-15 despite having been on the terror watch list, and a pushback against Islamophobia.
His second point focused on religion — not just Mateen’s religion of Islam — and how it perpetuates bigotry against the LGBT community, which was the target in Sunday’s hate crime.
