Unitl the Catholic Church is held accountable by it’s parishoners for it’s error on this issue, don’t expect it to be fully solved.

Any church, proclaiming itself to be of God that does not honor the laws of the land it resides in and supports those flagrantly break those laws, is walking outside the commands of Christ and the apostles.

Furthermore, since Illegals are nothing better than thieves because they take what is not theirs legally, that is tax-payer funded benefits, the error by the Catholic church and OTHER Churches, cannot be excused,.

The Catholic Church’s stand on illegal immigration has been consistent since about the 4th century AD. It’s one of the things that brought down the Roman Empire (all those wonderful future converts streaming across the frontiers) and it could destroy the US too.

Is Father Charlie (Father Charlie??!!) an official spokesman of the Catholic Church?

No.

He’ just a misguided soul with an opinion in the matter regarding illegal immigration, one that's different from my priest's homily (sermon) last week, who preached that aliens not following another country's rules and laws regarding immigration are behaving sinfully—yet, both are not dictates of the Catholic Church but rather one priest's opinion.

Although my priest's opinion I think is nearer to the truth. I'd challenge any nation on Earth who let's in more immigrants—legally—than the USA. None come even close. Yet the foreign press is going to berate our country over wanting to—but not actually—deporting illegal aliens?

Catholics are not suddenly teaching people to disobey the law. Following the rule of law is required in order to be a Christian. Sure, we all have a moral imperative to disobey immoral laws, but how is our immigration law so ethically onerous, especially since we're letting in legal immigrants annually by the MILLIONS?

Why isn't it wrong to not wait your turn? Do those here illegally not know they're line jumping over others? Do they think those others patiently waiting are saps?
