Amen Brother!
Most Catholics are against the illegal aliens being given amnesty and controlling our borders by the government!
However, it is a waste of time to even try and discuss this issue with the Priest in our parish or the local Bishops!
If you try to have a rationale, calm and logical discussion with any of these clergyman, you are deniqrated and belittled and accused of lacking charity and compassion! When I posed the question with regard to the End justifying the means with regard to illegal aliens, the conversation was abruptly ended!
The first line of clergy are bound by the vow of obedience in Holy Orders to their bishops. If they do not tow the party line, their career is in jeopardy!
And too many American bishops are notorious for their leftist social mentality. It's been that way for at least forty years. I don't think the rank and file Catholic cares what the bishops say or think unless it refers directly to issues of self interest.
