US bishops have welcomed an appeal court’s decision to overturn President Trump’s Muslim travel ban. On February 9, 2017, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a unanimous decision upholding a lower court’s temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking the implementation of several key provisions of Executive Order 13769.
The TRO was put in place by the US District Court for the Western District of Washington on February 3, 2017.
The provisions that that have temporarily been blocked by the TRO include: a 120 day halt of the US refugee resettlement program; an indefinite prohibition of resettling and admitting Syrian refugees; a preference for resettling Christian minorities; a case by case evaluation of refugee admission during the 120 day pause on resettlement; and a 90 day prohibition on entry, travel, and visas for individuals from the seven identified predominantly-Muslim countries of Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
In response to the Appeals Court ruling, Most Reverend Joe Vasquez, Bishop of Austin, Texas, and Chair of the Committee on Migration stated: “We welcome the decision of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. We respect the rule of law and the American judicial process. We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution. At this time, we remain particularly dedicated to ensuring that affected refugee and immigrant families are not separated and that they continue to be welcomed to our country. We will continue to welcome the newcomer as it is a vital part of our Catholic faith and an enduring element of our American values and tradition.”

I just don’t understand the Catholic Church.
Me, neither. But on this issue, consider that refugee settling charities (some of which are church-associated) receive $2095 per refugee they resettle. FDM (follow da money).
The US Catholic Bishops are looking out for their revenue stream and not for the country.
They are paid handsomely to resettle these so-called refuges in our country.
The US Catholic Bishops have also been advocating for illegal aliens from south of the border in order to keep their church pews full, the country be damned.
Catholic Churches have closed down schools because they get more revenue shaking down old fogies on bingo nights and catholic illegal aliens from mexico.
When the Vatican actually tears down its own current wall, I will listen to my leaders more seriously.
EXPOSED!
Defund USCCB ... now!
