Pope Francis on Thursday urged the U.S. Congress to reject a "mindset of hostility" on immigration and to recognize people who wish to move to the United States as people who are trying to improve their lives and those of their families.

Justice Thomas was noticeably absent. Humm.
or that his heresies and errors are part of Catholic teaching.
For the record I think protestants are just as far off course as Roman Catholics. We all need repenting............
“Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church that states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error “When, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church.”[1][2]”

Another leftist lecture
“You opened the can of worms. He has defined Catholic teaching.”
Sorry, but you completely misunderstand the nature of the Supernatural Bride of Christ. Lex mala, lex nulla.
“Papal infallibility”
I think I’d better be more specific. None of these statements is infallible because none deals with faith and morals, and none was ex cathedra.
I could, if I had an audience with the Holy Father, say to him, “Your position on climate change is not just blazingly stupid, it is evil.” And walk out of the audience as good a Catholic as any man, mutatis mutandis.
none deals with faith and morals,
Lol, so true!
The Pope does not speak for me as to religion and political opinions. I take offense at the proposition that the Pope should be telling me what my spiritual life as well as political life should be and I feel/believe the same way as to any politician ,man, women and especially children who uses a socialistic guide-on for such.
So HOW MANY MUSLIM TERRORISTS (aka “IMMIGRANTS”) will Vatican City take in???
This guy is either a descendant of the Borgias or the offspring of one of the top Nazis who fled to Argentina in ‘45.
“as people who are trying to improve their lives and those of their families.”
At the expense of our lives and our children’s future.
All this socialist pope cares about is increasing the catholic numbers. If 3rd world illegals come to the US and get free medical, free education, free food, free housing- they’ll breed out of control creating more Catholics.
What you say is 100% true.....but my point was, this was not the speech that will shake the planet!!! In fact, it was quit devoid of anything of real substance or defination!!! The Catholic Church will decline further!!! This Pope has come from South America where, after 400 years, or so, of the rule of the Catholic church, the people of South America are no off today they then were 400 years ago!!!
And....the folks that are better off today, are better off because they immigrated either legally or illegally to the USA!!!
And what of the poor people already here? Why I ask, do these do good-er bleeding heart types only see the plight of those in flight? What is it about “crossing a border” that makes one more sympathetic, more of a “dreamer” than anyone who was born here? How is it that these men in high places, whom you would think got there by being somewhat intelligent, don’t understand the short nor longer term ramifications of unfettered immigration and lack of order (laws and enforcing them?)Or maybe they do....they just don’t care. They want votes, and butts in the pews.
Is it right to have the vast majority of the world’s population only living in the “rich” countries?
What the Church needs to do is figure out what is best to improve conditions in the poorer countries so that not so many are compelled to move to the richer countries.
There are 2 pies. Their pie, and our pie.
They are all for being magnanimous with our pie and cutting it into another 50 million or more slices.
Burglars, robbers, and killers of spouses for insurance are all trying to improve their lives. Doesn’t mean we have to allow them to commit these crimes. What disgusting statements for the Pope to make.
You are 100% correct!!! The bottom line of my point is, that regardless what the Pope uttered and the Obamabot media falling all over him, his words will be forgotten, when he takes off on his trip back Rome!!! We have deadly serious problems in our country and the world, and the Pope’s making light of them is going nowhere!!! I once again state....the Catholic Church will fall further into the cesspool of obscurity!!! Words mean nothing....action is what counts, and I seen neither action from Pope Francis or Muslim, Kenyan, POTUS Obama!!!
It seems George Soros even got his mitts in the Vatican.
When the Pope, Obama, et.al., call climate change the biggest problem facing humanity, it is hard to take them seriously. They are either fools or think we are fools.
