Cardinal Timothy Dolan slams Trump immigration crackdown as ""unbiblical "
NYPost ^ | June 15, 2018

Posted on 06/16/2018 6:55:29 PM PDT by SMGFan

. Cardinal Timothy Dolan blasted the Trump administration’s policy of separating kids from their parents on Friday night, calling it “un-American and unbiblical.”

The White House got into holy hot water this week when Attorney General Jeff Sessions and press secretary Sander Huckabee Sanders both referenced scripture to claim the administration has the moral authority to forcibly take kids away from parents if they cross the southern border illegally. “I mean, that’s just unjust. That’s un-American and unbiblical,” Dolan, leader of New York City’s 2.8 million Catholics, told CNN on Friday night.

Sessions specifically cited the Apostle Paul who in Romans 13 reminded Christians to honor and obey authority.

Two words for Cardinal Dolan:

"Martin Luther" - in your face.

You know what else is un-American and unbiblical? Breaking the law and it is against the law to enter our country illegally. These criminal Mexicans force their children into a life of crime by making them illegal aliens. They should be humanely captured and immediately sent back to Mexico without a word being said, except “Don’t ever come back”.

There is more than one religious figure that has become an enemy of the American people.

Considering how Dolan has aided and abetted child abuse by priests I’m unimpressed

I don’t think many priests read the Bible anymore.

"So I guess according to him that stealing is okay - and is Biblical."

Let every illegal alien in NYC and their family members camp out inside St. Patrick's Cathedral indefinitely.

Acts 17:26 - From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

And then we have this problem. An acknowledgement by God that if you keep bad company then bad things will happen to you. You yourself will become corrupted.
These verses seem very harsh to me. I would not have the heart to just go and kill people like this. Yet I can see that God is not wanting Christians to mix with that which would corrupt them. This is why immigration has to be selective. And those chosen need to be of proper character. Not criminals and evil doers who will turn your society to the same.


Deuteronomy 7 English Standard Version (ESV)
A Chosen People

7 “When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and mightier than you, 2 and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction.[a] You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them. 3 You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, 4 for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. 5 But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars and dash in pieces their pillars and chop down their Asherim and burn their carved images with fire.

25 The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. 26 And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction[c] like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.

Has the Cardinal expressed any recognition of national sovereignty or the impact of undermining the wages of LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and minorities?

Or, is their some bias in the interest of filling the pews?

Timmy’s got to fill those pews. Will he propose a solution that will keep the kids with their parents while making sure the parents don’t escape, or will he just complain?

All the Catholic hierarchy wants it to bring catholics in from South America so the Pope can tell them how to vote in America's elections so he can control and eventually destroy our country.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan blasted the Trump administration’s policy of separating kids from their parents

This is not a "Trump administration policy." You can print out binders full of articles from before Trump ever became President about this going on during the Obama years. Yet, only now are people supposedly outraged because it can be used to improve electoral prospects of Democrats. In Cardinal Dolan's case I am going to believe it is due to the false media narrative of phony outrage he is being influenced by rather than intentional "selective memory." The media is lying, and unfortunately, many millions of people in this country trust what they hearing unbeknownst to them the narrative is false.

Why doesn’t the cardinal protest the separation of Manafort from his kids? It’s the same thing.

Hey Dolan, how is that 8 million dollar retreat for NY City priests to unwind at working out for u and your buddies! If u had any of the conscious of Christ, u would sell it to take care of working people who really need help, and who can do without your pontificating as to how they should lead their lives. It would be nice if u and the rest of your religious hierarchy would just shut up, eat your free food, and use your free transportation, education and medical benefits that your followers most likely don't have. I should also mention that u are a representative of a foreign government and have diplomatic immunity so why don't u leave and go home. Followers of Christ are typically good people and deserve better.
