If we’re being honest, it could just be that immigration is a lucrative issue for the bishops, while defending the unborn is not.
America’s Catholic bishops are once again focusing their energies on immigration concerns, subtly undermining the Catholic Church’s teachings on the subject, while highlighting their hypocrisy on the defense of the unborn.
The bishops might have a little more moral credibility on the issue had they authored a similar letter lamenting the never-heard cries of children boiled alive by saline solutions.
Last week, 216 members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted in favor of publishing a “special message” to President Donald Trump and his administration, criticizing the administration’s immigration agenda. “We are disturbed when we see among our people a climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement. We are saddened by the state of contemporary debate and the vilification of immigrants,” the bishops wrote.
Despite obstacles and prejudices, generations of immigrants have made enormous contributions to the well-being of our nation. We as Catholic bishops love our country and pray for its peace and prosperity. For this very reason, we feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity.
“Catholic teaching exhorts nations to recognize the fundamental dignity of all persons, including immigrants. We bishops advocate for a meaningful reform of our nation’s immigration laws and procedures. Human dignity and national security are not in conflict,” the bishops complained. It is true, protecting and preserving the nation’s sovereignty, security, and homogeneity does not necessitate stripping others of human dignity.
The issue, however, is that the Trump administration has not behaved barbarously towards aliens and has, in fact, upheld the human dignity not just of aliens (recall, if you will, Border Czar Tom Homan discussing how immigration enforcement...

Total Estimated Funding for Religious NGOs for Migrant/Refugee Services
they wont let the poor into the vatican, but they demand the US let illegal aliens enter the country.
If the Church was a church, it would focus on saving souls.
But the Church isn’t much of a church. It’s just a political outfit.
Look at the effect of the Catholic vote on America and know why it was an immigration problem in the 1800s and since 1964.
throw open your own gates, Vatican and house the poor yourself!
Whatever the motivation is, illegal immigration and birth control are both clearly addressed in Church teaching, published in the easy-for-the-laity-to-read Catechism, priority given for any logical person to decipher
Maybe someone in the administration should remind these idiot bishops that these individuals are illegal alien invaders, NOT “immigrants.” And that many of them are violent criminals.
Put them all on one-way flights to Rome.
There is plenty of room in St. Peter’s Basilica and in St. Peter’s Square.
10 to 1 they said nothing about the leaders in Central America as well as the cartels who exploit and suppress the “immigrants”...
I would appear that human trafficking in the form of illegal aliens is a profit center for the USCCB.
This has little to do with immigration and everything to do with TDS.
The Bishops are members of a corrupt political organization which is masquerading as a church.
The Roman Catholic “Church” is corrupted from the top down.
No offense to God-fearing Catholics, but the Vatican is full of wickedness.
Cling to Christ, not to the institutions of men.
PS - the Protestants are no better. It’s a very sad thing.
Much more money in facilitating illegal immigration through NGO vs Pro life advocacy. RCINC always follows the money. It is after all the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet.
Notice how they always cry poverty but always manage to find the funds to hire 600$/hr defense attorneys to smearruin the reputation of the victims of sexual abuse by their employees (aka priests) in deposition, friendly media and subsequent trial
Like Pesci said..."it's always about the dollars".
The Church is lost. Only thing to save it is reversal of VatII.
The Bishops will soon be wearing nose rings and purple hair in solidarity with those being persecuted.
Nailed it, concur, in our Parish our last 3 Priests have had 1a in their job description, save souls. The Vatican not so much.
“Follow the money” works every time
gotta fill the pews for donations from the nations where people can’t read
