IMO there are conservative Catholics and liberal Catholics.
The former care about abortion.
The latter are very influenced by liberation theology of Central America and believe you aren’t a Christian if you don’t give sanctuary to every immigrant wanting to come here. The whole sanctuary city stuff started with the church after all. I have 2 Catholic sisters who are quite judgemental about the whole thing. They are Tim Kaine Catholics for sure.
Don’t know how they can square it but they do.
“...don’t know how they square this ...”
Yes - you are so right - especially about the “sanctuary to every immigrant...” stance which is recent garbage from Pope Francis and his social justice ilk who are CINOs and I include the Pope.
Prior to Vatican II it was understood that the corporal works of mercy included funding (alms) to support the great missionary orders that were sent out (Franciscans, yes - pre-corrupted Jesuits, La Sallete, Holy Ghost Fathers, all of them) to the poorest of the poor third world countries to help the people at their own locations in their own countries!!! and contrary to the lies, they did not aggressively try to convert, but showed them new farming techniques, digging wells, etc., teaching literacy, etc. etc., and conversion was through the wanting to imitate, if it occurred at all.
At any rate, this idea that the Christian solution is to let our own country be swamped to the point where our own systems break down is totally false premise.
I get so annoyed by the people who are not capable of even a cursory look at Church History and then think for themselves.
At any rate see my post #14 as well. GMTA
