True Christians (I’m including Catholics here) know in their hearts what’s right and wrong—sin versus graceful works.
If I find several thousand dollars in an envelope with a business card on it; one with a name, phone number, and address, do I keep it, or try to contact the name on the card?
For a true Christian, that is a no-brainer. To keep it would be a sin, and imperils our soul. So we return it.
When we, then, as true Christians, violate another country’s reasonable laws on immigration, we are sinning. For a priest to advise a person that’s that is ust fine and dandy, well, in my opinion that priest is putting that soul and their own in jeporady. Since Catholics authorities are charged with safegaurding the souls in their flock, they are not being good shepherds, but rather wolves in sheeps clothing, to encourage illegal immigration. They are leading them to sin—not away.
I think illegals are not Christains at all. If they were, they’d be in line waiting for a visa.
While I generally agree with your first 4 paragraphs I disagree with your last one. Engaging in a particular illegal or sinful behavior may disqualify one from being a perfect sinless Christian, but not from being a Christian.
