Seems to me that the US "bishops" are twisting scripture again, to favor illegal immigration. There is nothing in scripture, nor Church Doctrine to support illegal immigration or breaking the local laws of one's country.

The Church (and true conservative Catholics) has been battling the Marxist "Liberation Theology" scourge in Central and other parts of Latin America for a long time. It is contrary to Church teachings.

The US bishops do not speak "for the Church" as a whole.

Thank you.

Wanna bet? There's no doubt, to me, that Benedict XVI would approve of the approach the US Bishops have adopted toward immigration. As would most every bishop in every other country.

And we will continue to 'battle' them and their errors.

Far too many bishops are concerned with being the Pope of their own diocese and making changes for changes' sake, pumped up with their own self importance. Wrecking lives along the way.

I'm soooo pleased the the Marxist 'Liberation Theology' that was so rampant and divisive in the 70's and 80's is alive and well and poisoning another generation. (excessive sarcasm slathered on).

So true...but even more to the point...the USSCB is a worthless organization which pretends to have any real canonical status and speak for the Church. I have a priest friend who says just as much. Of course, he's young and part of the new generation of clergy that is going to bury these old liberal fossil bishops.

I'll stick with the Pope himself and the authentic magisterium, thank you.

That's exactly right! I'm one Roman Catholic for whom these Bishops do NOT speak.

Yup. These national bishops conferences seem to do more harm than good.
