Could the arguement also be made , how many fake documents would Jesus of had ,had he left Latin America coming north to the U.S.A.in terms of getting a better life ? Would Jesus of saved up a few thousand dollars for payment to the Mexican drug cartels to be smuggled across the border ? If the church wants to insist on welcome the stranger ? They leave out a lot of key details.And make it sound like from paying drug cartels ,to paying for fraudulent documents,to use fraudulent documents for gaining employment and tell us the above is just the way it is and it’s the fault of America for having laws,that the church disagrees with.Like entering the country illegally.This is why they say we need reform. At the same time the church does not fully provide the world of God to the extent of how it applies to illegals and the crimes they commit to exist here.
It only points out sob stories and leaves out other key details.
Yes, you’re right. There’s a great deal of whitewashing going on in order to justify the liberal/socialist positions of certain clerics.
There is a distinction to be made between official Church teachings and the ill informed opinions of individual clerics such as Archbishop Gomez, Cardinal O’Malley, and even popes.
