“De-emphasis of border enforcement” does not apply here. The good bishop is not a politician nor a policy maker. What he has done with this statement, however, is a giant stride forward in defining Church policy on “rule of law.” In other words, this is the most respectful the Church has been yet towards U.S. law. It is a huge step.
Now, I can’t wait for Cardinal Mahony to get the memo.
Not a chance! Baloney outranks him.
Bishop Kikanas is the incoming President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and you say that he is ‘not a policy maker?”
Moreover, I am a Catholic in the Diocese of Tucson and am very aware of the Bishops’ long term support of illegal immigrants and amnesty.
Did you actually read the letter in post 1?
He has completely embraced the concept of social justice for illegals. The headline is misleading.
