Breitbart ^ | June 24, 2016 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Posted on 06/24/2016 10:28:28 AM PDT by detective

In a strongly worded statement, the chairman of the Committee on Migration of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has denounced Thursday’s Supreme Court decision that blocked the Obama administration’s executive action to shield more than 4 million illegal immigrants from deportation, calling it a “huge disappointment.”

Once again, venal politics trumping sound doctrine.

Mexico is one of the most inhumane countries in the world, in their treatment of illegal immigrants coming across their own southern border.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops NEVER, NEVER, NEVER responds to a Supreme Court decision on the basis of the Constitution or law. They respond, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, on the basis of the POLICY they want. ALL of Obama’s ILLEGAL ACTIONS to promote amnesty received praise from more than one official of the USCCB, and bishops around the country.

I hope Trump recognizes that the USCCB is an ENTIRELY Marxist, anti-American organization, and doesn’t give them the time of day. They are an arm of the Democrat/Communist Party.

They want more people in the pews. Hispanics are the answer for them. They would rather sell out this country and have open borders.

The government of Mexico tolerates NO illegal immigration. Therefore the Church does nothing for illegal immigrants.

In the U.S., both political parties and the government are promoting illegal immigration. Therefore the American bishops courageously champion the cause of illegal immigration.

TWENTY-FIVE Americans are killed EACH DAY by an illegal alien. The following is the response of the American bishops:

“YAWN!”

Than the US Catholic Bishops can move to Syria. See how long they would keep their heads above their shoulders. Or they can go to Mexico City. How about Caracas venezuela. Or they go can go to Rome and live with the Syrian Muslims that the Pope has living in the vatican. Damn catholic Bishops are nothing but Globalists too.

40 percent of Catholics support Hillary? 50 percent vote democrat red pro abort every presidential election, but they don’t practice Catholicism

They call themselves Catholic. They might even think they practice Catholicism but they do not follow Catholicism they don’t believe in what ignorant people here say is RCC I guess that’s Roman Catholicism

The Roman Catholic Church has a Catechism. Many more that 40 percent of Catholics do not own one, refer to I nor respect it. But in it they would find that the Church a not what the USCCB espouses. Certainly not in immigration

Many more than 40 percent don’t give a crap what the USCCB says. I’d bet that eighty percent don’t know what the USCCB even IS

Catholic Bishops are merely politicians.

Period.

They are obviously not looking at what was at stake here. The president is not allowed to circumvent congress and write laws. Period. Do we need immigration reform? Perhaps. But this is NOT the way to do that. It needs to go through Congress to the president’s desk.

Many of the folks in the pews. If they are pro abort, which many are, they are lib enough to support this too.

A very small minority in my parish.

It’s worse than that. It’s not just butts in the pews. They know perfectly well that the illegals are not good Catholics.

It’s ideology.

The bishops who run for positions at the USCCB are all Marxists. They are loyal Democrats. The employees at the USCCB are Democrats. They vote Gore, Kerry, Obama, Obama, Hillary, etc.
