You and Mahony are both wrong and the actual teaching of the Church is that immigrants should obey the law and immigrate legally.
The Catholic Church, along with the Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church, and Episcopalian Church, with odd-ball other denominations represented, are conspiring against the sovereignty of the U.S. with sanctuary movements like “Wind in the Spirit.”
This isn’t Catholic-bashing and has nothing to do with theology. It has a lot to do with politics, political correctness and demographics.
If you are Catholic and disagree with this policy of the church, let your bishops know about it.
I couldn’t stand the politically correct garbage from the Methodist pulpits so I left them. When I find a Christian Church which doesn’t get involved in politics, or approaches it from my perspective, I’ll join them.
