I’ll read this again when I have more time. Thank you for the detailed response and effort though.
Upon first read it seems that there is a rogue element that is not following the catechism or don’t know it or don’t care to know it. The position the take against the catechism is either willful or ignorant.
The key or operative to this statement that you make is LOGIC: “The catechism states logically that illegal immigration offends the host nation depleting its resources for itself it’s lawful citizens and future legal immigration for them as well as for future legitimate refugees”
A person has to think and be capable of objective thought to ever successfully apply LOGIC. I also wonder if there are priests that are intentionally misleading the issue? NAAAAW. / s.
Priests are the target of much temptation because they are leaders. If you look at it like its a battle then it becomes obvious. Whe you read at John Paul II or humanae vitae, and that’s for anyone, it’s just logic and is based strictly on biblical teaching, or Cardinal Burke, George weigel or father g Rutler you know what is going on.
The USCCB right now is being led on this by Garcia and Gomez of San Antonio and LA And who both are immigrants who should not be speaking as leaders to our government on these matters yet the bishops conference is FOLLOWING them on this
The likely mean well but these laws are there for a reason ditto the catechism
