Why is the Church giving them “sanctuary” or defending wrong doing by pretending it is acceptable?

Power acquisition.

Hey if business did not give them jobs or Bush enforced the border, illegals wouldn’t be here. You’re focused on the wrong cause.

I’m Catholic and I agree with you 100%
Now join me as I don my Nomex undergarments. The “Church Can Do No Wrong” crew will be here shortly.

The Church is a world-wode body that has outlasted all other governments, so its opinion should not be taken lightly.

The Church rightly urges all wealthy nations to welcome the poor of other nations to share in the abundance. That is what Christians do.

The Church is not responsible for the lack of enforcement of our laws. Our culture has invited these immigrants in, despite the pretense of our laws that they are unwelcome.

It is the french style of governance.

When the mob can protest enough it is treated as a referendum in parlamentary forms of government.

Natural Law states Freedom of Movement of Goods, Capital and People. Everything else are fantasies that only a huge amount of money can build for some time.

The Catholic Church is right.

“Recently, during the Pope’s visit, he took exception to the United States border policy expressing that it lacked sensitivity for the needs of the less fortunate”

Then he should have no problem funding them immigrating to Rome.

breaking a secular law does not = committing a religious sin.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan I think guides the conscience of many in the Church who help illegals.

The Catholic Church isn’t wrong. They have their constituentcy just like Bush and Congress has theirs. At a time when the Church in the USA is shrinking, it only makes sense for them to support an influx of new parishoners from south of the border. Hispanics are predominantly believers and overwhelmingly Catholic.

It is our Government that is letting us down

Once again the Catholic Church has taken a stand on a modern issue

Suggest you actually familiarize yourself with the teaching of the Church posted here rather than continue confusing the behavior of individuals within the Church with the teaching of the Church. Unless of course you enjoy coming across as a fool.

Once again the Catholic Church has taken a stand on a modern issue and been found lacking in logic and substance. Recently, during the Pope's visit, he took exception to the United States border policy expressing that it lacked sensitivity for the needs of the less fortunate. The Pope chose to totally ignore the billions of dollars the American taxpayers spend annually on aid to less fortunate countries, as well as the continual problem we are facing with the daily uncontrollable assault on our boarder of untrained labor and often drug carrying illegal aliens.

Following the raid at the Postville Meatpacking Plant, the families of the detainees ran to the local Catholic Church for sanctuary. Instead of the Church working with the officials to assist the families, they allowed them to stay. They brought in food, gave them shelter and the illusion of protecting them from the government officials. The Church actually encouraged the hysteria by not working towards a resolution. The Catholic Church is way out of line. In addition, the Church encouraged people to protest the deportation of illegal aliens.
