This weekend, I am canceling my automatic (via ParishPay) weekly deductions to my parish and, instead, writing a monthly check to the parish SCHOOL. (People don't realize how little money parishes give to the schools attached to them.)

Do to cancer before cancer does to you. Unassimilating multiculture welfare aliens are eating us alive. Horrific violence is coming if we don’t cut it out.

The golden rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

I’m unclear what is being violated in this maxim. We don’t deny immigrants, we don’t deny refugees, we welcome both with open arms.

What we don’t respect are those who hop over the wall and shove their way to the front of the line. A belief that not so shockingly is shared with the Vatican, who isn’t admitting a family who pushed their way into Saint Peter’s Square and declared that they shall now live here, but who has chosen a family who has applied and been approved.

The same rules apply for attending one of the Pope’s sermons - you follow the rules, and those who attempt to cheat are escorted away.

But for some odd reason, these rules that the Vatican itself follows and enforces are not acceptable for the US to follow and enforce. Somehow we’re less than they are, and must open our arms and welcome those who have forced themselves upon us.

Personally, I’m tired of being the altar boy for this Pope’s agenda, told to accept what happens to me and thank the priest for doing it.

Anyone wanna bet how swiftly I am whisked off to Italian jail if I plopped myself down in the middle of Vatican City and declared that I’ve immigrated there and they must now give me food, shelter, documentation, driver’s licenses, free education and bring the rest of my family to me? Worse, if I hopped the Vatican’s wall to do so?

Go Trump Go! Bring some sanity back to the world!

Francis’s says we must see the “refugees” as “persons … seeing their faces and listening to their stories,”

but he exhibits no such concern for cash-strapped lower- and middle-income American families struggling to make ends meet while shelling out a third of their paychecks to essentially promote a leftist, anti-capitalist open-borders agenda.

Jesuits have always been renegades and outcasts. This Pope’s tenure will be interesting indeed.

The pope seems to hate hard working Native Americans and favor criminals that sneak in illegally.

Doesn't make sense for pope to have such a twisted political opinion.

It's also odd for a pope to stand on the Islamic idea of taqiyya by lying about Climate Change

As Christians, we are supposed to love everyone, including the illegal immigrants invading from Mexico.

We also are supposed to love all the prisoners in all the prisons and jails in the world, including all the murderers, rapists, thieves, perverts, scam artists, etc.  (Criminals who commit crimes in the Vatican, are sent outside the Vatican to Italian prisons.)

Now just because we are supposed to love them, does not mean we are also supposed to open the prisons and let all those prisoners out, or to let those illegal invaders from Mexico flood across our borders, and break our laws with impunity, and without consequence.

Pope Francis should read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which clearly says that all immigrants to any country should obey the laws of the country they wish to move to (which would, of course, include their immigration laws).

Read this directive from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 2241:


"Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens."

May God bless us very soon with a new pope and a new president, both with much greater understanding, wisdom, common sense, and political and moral rectitude than the current holders of those offices.

And may God bless Donald Trump!

You want to help them? Help them WHERE THEY ARE NOW.

But hey, aren’t we doing that already? How much money do we send to third world countries like Mexico in foreign aid?

Question — How much of these foreign aid money ever get to reach these folks who need help?

Maybe the Pope can answer this for us.

The Pope is a Jesuit and a committed Marxist. It is what it is. I’m Catholic and eagerly await the next Pope.

Good for you. I dropped Catholic Charities years ago, as one of the charities I gave to, when I saw that they gave to Acorn.

Correction

Todays cash-strapped lower- and middle-income Americans are the REAL “refugees” that America must take care of First before accepting anyone else into the country.

I like the “Trump Legion” It has kind of a Roman Image. With Donald Trump as a sort of Caesar.
