Mrs. Don-o's Latest Tweets to Her Bishop: On Church Growth and Immigration
on Bishop Stika's Twitter Thing ^ | April 24, 2019 | Mrs Don-o

First, the provocation: Bishop Rick Stika @BishopStika

I’m very optimistic about the future of the church as I see tremendous growth in the south and southwest especially with the migration of our Hispanic brothers and sisters. We forget that in the past great gr


Then, the response to @BishopStika:

The Cath Church once had huge numbers of converts. Now, the people leaving the Church outnumber the new converts at least six-to-one. Parishes nationwide are plummeting in membership. Importing Catholics from the Decaying North and the Desperate South will not fix this problem


In the past, the growth of the Church was due to honorable, honest, lawful immigration plus the fertility of honest, non-contracepted marriages. Now we are enabling unlawful invasion to compensate for our own intentional sterility. Population replacement. It's not God's plan.

According to the stats, exactly -zero- people are reading my feeble tweets, but hey: one does what one can.

I like your tweets and agree with their thrust. I don’t belong to Twitter so my views probably didn’t count. Cdl. Sarah is a bit of a head scratcher, coming from the Vatican. You’d think Bergoglio would have brought him to heel.

God established the nations in Genesis, at the Tower of Babel. These leftist bishops are on board with a one-world government and want to invite everyone in, obliterating borders, nations, and distinctions.

These mexicans might be brothers in Christ, but they are lawbreakers, invaders and not American brothers.

They need to stay in their own country and work to fix it.

Cardinal Sarah was made Cardinal by Benedict XVI in 2010 and appointed to the Congregation for Divine Worship, where he is contemptuously ignored by Pope Francis. That's the way with this Peronist Pope: he doesn't bother to fire you from your post, he just treats you like you're The Invisible Man, like you don't exist, and distributes your functions to others so all you have left is a title.

+Robert Sarah, if I had anything to say about it, would be our next Pope.

Just like I thought....The Catholic Church wants more Hispanics in the USA to try and fill their buildings and their treasury.

I gave you LIKES on all your recent.
I didn’t go into the February tweets.
I might go back to add comments.
God bless you.
That guy is a stinker.

Doesn’t every church/religion want more members to help pay the bills (in addition to saving their souls, the infinitely more important outcome)? Hard to see what is different about the Catholic Church.

It's not quite that overt, as every parish knows the Hispanic part of the congregation does not contribute much monetarily, but costs a lot due to their over-average neediness.

I personally do not mind that. I am friends with Hispanic people and more than glad to have them in the parish.

What I mind is the collusion of the USCCB and the CRS and the Migrant and Refugee activists in dissolving our southern border.

All of our ancestors were legal immigrants. By way of contrast, people who intentionally put themselves in the hands of criminal cabals to transgress our borders and flout our laws, do not correspond to the honest and honorable U.S. tradition of the legal "immigrant."

I don’t blame you for not being on Twitter. For the most part, I think it’s a big pseudo-event and a vexation of the spirit.
