It would have been heartening to see language along the lines of that employed by Pope Pius XI in the recent USCCB statement on immigration.
Pastoral teaching regarding 'Catholics in name only' might be addressed, especially, to 'Catholic' members/associates/agents of the Trump regime.

John Lennox (Emeritus Prof. of Maths at Oxford; well known Christian apologist):
For Christians, physical death means expansion, opening new horizons, anticipation of encountering God, new beginning.
For non-believers, death means narrowing, shutting down, ending.

Writing in 'National Review', William F. Buckley (quoting Garry Wills) dismissed Pope John XXIII's encyclical 'Mater et magistra' with a sarcastic 'Mater sí, magistra no".
This was PRE-Vatican II, PRE-changes to liturgy, etc.
The agenda behind this kind of stuff was NEVER just theological!
