Bishops Blast Trump on Immigration, but Not Biden on Abortion

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...

The Leaders of most Churches have lost their way.
Abortion is murder and they condone it.
Marriage is to join a Man and Woman, a solemn ceremony that was instituted by God, a Sacrament to be taken seriously, NOT same sex! Yet being condoned.
Religion should have nothing to do with “Woke.” Yet we are seeing it increase.

Sadly, The Demon Devil carries on.

As a Catholic, it has been hard to be one for many years. The past pope (this one also) has my faith to the Lord above stronger forever!

The Pope is a political pope. The Vatican is a criminal organization. It’s days are numbered.

True!
The Catholic church has now become an islamocommie party propaganda wing.
It is no longer a church.
And it’s not just the Catholic church.
Other former churches have morphed into the same!

So I wonder if the folks backing this will be able to call another priest to forgive them of all their sins and allow them to skate right past St. Peter into Heaven.

Because Biden was not forcing women to have abortions. It is a stupid equivalence. They know abortion was the law.

It turns out that Hispanic’s (90% Catholic) contributions to the Church are far greater than unborn children.
