Bishops are compounding the idiocy coming from Rome. Somewhere I recall the admonition, “Render unto Caesar....etc”.IOW get out of my politics. At least one third of those “Families” aren’t families at all but a human version of “Enterprise Rent-a- Kid-”.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION—BIG, BIG, Money Maker for Catholics and Lutherans, etc.


1. What’s in the “etc”? Is that all other denominations, such that illegal immigration is a big money maker for religion in general?

2. If (1) is no, why lump a protestant denomination in with Catholics? I don’t recall reading about Lutherans being overly caring for illegals.

3. Even given (1) and (2), how does a deluge of illegals make big, big, money for anybody?

Yet another example of the sanctimonious sophistry regularly put out by the USCCB. The USCCB should have been abolished years ago!

“Families are the foundation of our faith, our society, our history, and our immigration system,” they said. “As Pope Francis notes: ‘Family is the place in which we are formed as persons’.”

Christian sociologists believe that certain social institutions are ordained by God. Family, church, work, education, and the state are all important. Each of these has its own identity, nature, integrity, authority, and sovereignty, and they are not reducible to the other. Each must protect the other and not interfere with the proper functions of each other.

Partner, one more time, we are being inundated in the State of Texas with Illegal Aliens and they need to go back to where they came from.

What do these Catholic Bishops not understand about the word "Illegal Alien".

We have Rinos and DemonRats that are for "Open Borders" and they vote for "Illegal Immigration into the U.S. all the time."

Enough is Enough of this "Bravo Sierra Open Borders Mentality!"

Nothing is stopping the families from being united in their home countries. That being said, immigration policy is a political question subject to prudential judgment. It is not a quest of either faith or morals. The bishops should stay out of it, one way or the other. Nor is any Catholic bound to follow them in such matters. Promote the faith and leave politics to the laity.

So is there any reason for the Catholic Church?

Need a 50 year Moratorium on immigration. Legal immigration is a scam, to say nothing of the hordes of illegals invading.

Partner, you said a mouthful!!!

Partner, it seems like we have shouting to the winds that Illegal Immigration into this great country of ours is Illegal.

We clearly have over 50 Million Illegal Alien Invader Vermin into our great country. These folks are the Riff Raff from other third world countries like Mexico and other Central American countries.

Partner, we have them coming in from all over the world and it seems like George Soros is doing this so that he can pile more problems upon our President Trump.

It seems like the America Hating Piece of Work Obama heaped a lot of problems on the Trump presidency.

The Catholic Church is an enemy of the American people.

Take names and send illegals and their “families” to the bishops homes.

Yes, with malice and forethought. Do not ignore the Vatican's Serpent Papal Temple. One cannot serve two masters. Pappy Francis playing a mass on our border campaigning for Hillry pretending 'walls' are bad for his migrants... did far more than Putin in messing with our election...

So let me get this straight (no pun intended). A bunch of butt-jabbing homosexual/pedophile clerics are going to lecture us on the family being foundational?! Spare me, please!

Especially little boys < /sarcasm >.

Many Catholics are Democrats...Democrats = abortion

The silence of Catholics on Democrat's pounding the drum for MORE abortion is hypocritical, disgusting and deafening.

With all the homosexuality running wild in the Catholic hierarchy, who knows what these bishops really have on their minds.

To mine, their “plans” aren’t even worth considering.

Take them and it back to Rome.

Check out what that ‘compassionate conservative’ Bush saddled upon US...

One cannot serve two masters ... I am forced by an executive order to fund the Catholic Church ... among other fake ‘faith based’ charities to transform this nation. Constitution be damned.

Mythoughts, one of those articles is three years old, from the Obama era. And I got the impression from reading both articles that this money goes to resettling legitimate immigrants [not saying I agree with that either].

I can’t find any mention of illegals.

Do illegals receive any of this money?
