Quick - all you Catholics who are conservatives need to shovel them a bunch more money!

Actually we need to slip a note in the collection basket. “Contribution Withheld due to your support for lawlessness”.

Send all illegals to Vatican City and let's see how generous and loving things turn out to be. I have empathy for the illegals that need to feed their families and try and show a better live to their children, but like the 10 Commandments, the U.S.has laws that must be followed or there will be repercussions

There are catholic conservatives who disagree with the vatican on this issue. I am one of them. The RCC’s stance on immigrations is not dogma and one can still be a catholic of good standing disagree.

Having a lawful immigration policy where people become citizens through a naturalization process where they learn about the USA...can prove proficiency of English and become valuable members of American society is a good, kind and generous thing.

Encouraging people of any nation to enter the country illegally is promoting the theft ( there is a commandment against this if I remember correctly:) of the hard earned resources of others with no desire to contribute to the greater good. The United States cannot feed, clothe and shelter 100 percent of the world’s population on the backs of 1 percent of the American tax payers.

Why the vatican doesn’t understand this, I am not sure, but I suspect it is grounded in the fear of not being able to fill the pews.
