The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is appealing to the U.S. government to take in 100,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, along with an additional 100,000 from other countries. The population of Syrian refugees is overwhelmingly Muslim.
In a message distributed via email, the USCCB is encouraging Catholics to submit a letter to their congressional representatives as well as to President Obama urging the government to "protect the lives and dignity of people in Syria, Iraq and in other countries suffering war, persecution and poverty." According to the pre-transcribed letter this is to be accomplished by accepting "more Syrian refugees especially the most vulnerable and ensur[ing] their safe resettlement" while providing "generous aid to nations in the Middle East that are hosting millions of refugees."

Now is the time for all good Catholics to dump the Catholic church until they straighten up.

When a Catholic dumps the Church, they're also turning their backs on Christ in the Eucharist. Most good Catholics do not want to do that.

Why doesn’t one of these idiots call for Christian refugees for a change?

I think I read where it cost 16,000 per person to bring them here. Perhaps that’s why our social security payments are not seeing one penny raise this year. Need the money for those .

If it were possible to dump the U.S. government until they straightened out I’d do that too.

You create the crucial question:
Are the U.S. Bishops willing to house, feed and clothe each and every one of the 200,000 refugees at their own expense; and will the U.S. Bishops agree to accept personal responsibility for every crime and/or act of terrorism committed by the 200,000 refugees?Every single Catholic Bishop in the Conference must personally vouch for every single one of those vigorous and comfortably-dressed buckos who seem quite hale & hearty as they come busting across the borders of Europe.
What do they really want--hmmm?
