Texas Archbishop has become a gun control advocate after Uvalde: 'We're supposed to promote life'

Following the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 21 dead and 17 more wounded, San Antonio's archbishop began giving sermons and conducting interviews.

"You can't reconcile guns with life, that's why I've presided over funerals of the Uvalde victims and offered spiritual counsel to the shooter's mother," said Garca-Siller.

The Archbishop's voice joined a growing number of faith leaders who have raised concerns over gun violence nationwide.

The Catholic Church's opposition to the death penalty is meant to preserve the sanctity of life, according to the leader of the San Antonio archdiocese. His goal is to inspire compassion and change, even though his viewpoint is based on his Catholic faith.

We have to! The New York Times reported that Garca-Siller spoke to a group of reporters. We are supposed to promote life.

The nation must reform existing gun laws, limit access to weapons designed to maximize carnage and address a growing culture of violence in order to minimize rising gun violence.

Garca-Siller said guns are an "immense" part of this country. I believe that gun control needs to be more radical.
