The bishops of Mexico have released a press statement denouncing the controversial Arizona immigration law. The statement was signed by Bishop Víctor René Rodríguez Gómez of Texcoco, secretary general of the Mexican bishops’ conference.
“With deep sadness, we have received the news that the immigration law SB1070 has entered into force,” the statement begins. Expressing solidarity with Latinos residing in the United States, the bishops “ask with insistence that the Lord of life and all the earth move the hearts of all people who do not know the Father of all and have not been able to discover brotherhood, tolerance, and mercy.”
“We value and we are thankful to the noble and generous people of the United States of America, who for years have offered a warm welcome and support to Mexico and so many countries in need on the continent and in the world,” the statement continues. “We are disappointed to see, and we firmly condemn, the selfish and irresponsible attitude of certain powerful groups which aim to separate countless families, leaving them to drown in deepest misery and poverty after having made enormous sacrifices and risked their lives in the search for a better life and a future of wellbeing and justice for their children.”
“We join our voices with those of all men and women of goodwill calling on Mexican authorities, and Mexican families and parishes, to warmly welcome with specific pastoral care our brothers and sisters forced to retrace their steps.”
“We intend to continue our activity to render our people of Mexico ‘A Home and a School of Communion,’ enabling them to be present in faith and prayer. We give them our blessing as Bishops and we commend them to the Heart of God, to His Son Jesus Christ, and to Holy Mary of Guadalupe.”
sleazy mexican scum alert
I denounce Mexico for not protecting it’s people.
That’s so touching. How do they feel about Mexico’s laws concerning “undocumented” immigrants from, say, Honduras.
This Bishop should follow the teachings of the bible. Jesus, Paul and Peter said to follow the laws of the earthly leaders as they are God’s anointed. Something tells me this Bishop is injecting racism into the Scriptures
A broken border is broken in BOTH directions.
These bishops are leading their parishoners astray. What a tragedy. Perhaps these “priests” ought to review the Commandments - thou shalt not steal. The Jesus I know wouldn’t advocate immigrants illegally crossing borders & consuming goods & services they are not entitled to.
And one of their illegals killed a nun. But don’t let that effect your holy racism, oh holy ones.
All national bishop's conferences should be disbanded. The experiment has failed.
Cram it Clowns!
You poseurs of God’s noble servants.
Then have these little mexican bishops help divest the papacy of it’s wealth to come to the aid of mexican citizens in their own country if their passion runs that high.
Fine.
I denounce Mexican bishops.
All done.
DILLIGAFF? (Do I look like I give a flying ....er...Obama?)
“We value and we are thankful to the noble and generous people of the United States of America, who for years have offered a warm welcome and support to Mexico and so many countries in need on the continent and in the world,”
But the fact we have immigration laws means that our “generosity” has its limits. And our “warm welcome” was intended only for those here by legal means.
Somehow you idiots can’t get that straight
They want smaller crowds and lighter collections on Sundays, then?
Who cares what foreigners think of our laws ... why don’t we adopt their Mexican immigration laws ????
We really need illegals. The church needs to watch this. http://blutube.policeone.com/media/4115-Dashcam-footage-of-officer-being-shot/
The can go and are going to hell. Why don’t they denounce a government (Mexican) that doesn’t provide for its citizens? A government that forces its people to risk their lives to leave? A government that doesn’t provide healthcare, education, or jobs for its people, and leaves them to scour in garbage dumps (see Mexico City) while fat cats live it up?
Yawn.....
Was it Athanasius who said, “The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of (Mexican) bishops?”
