Denying Communion to the likes of Pelosi is a different matter however because she publicly spits in the face of the Church by her words and deeds. She should not be given the Eucharist. Illegals wanting to get over here aren’t spewing anti-Catholicism. That’s the difference.
Illegals wanting to get over here are fine with people like Pelosi enabling them, though.
Pelosi and the illegals are two different circumstances in my mind. She calling the march vernon masquerading as virtue, shows us that she is attacking the Church. As a Catholic, one of our Catholic obligations is to uphold the values of marriage.
The illegals, I could throw the book at them: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods; thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor( saying they are escaping gang violence ( which seems to be tutored and accusing the Border patrol of ill-treatment ); they shalt not steal.
The illegals said that the Catholic church told them how and that they should come up here. By their actions they are betraying the teachings of the Church.
I can see how you could misconstrue what I tried to say. I attend the churches in Tucson, where many illegals live. The churches are empty spaces that advertise in other dioceses bulletins for people to join them. They may have been born Catholic, but MANY are not practicing. So in a way, they are not pro-Catholic. And they don’t care about the teachings of the Church.
Last week, I attended a confirmation with a mostly hispanic congregation. The bishop mentioned that there were two kids who could not answer his questions for confirmation from two other churches and they were in the pews. He made sure that this confirmation class all would pass and he gave them a multiple choice question that asked them to give the only wrong answer. It was a silly give away, and the kids still struggled. To me they were not prepared.
It was a rite of passage for the kids and their families, but no one took it seriously.
