Well, I'm not sure I can find much correlation between abortion and people who migrate to another illegally. That not withstanding, the church has a 2,000 year history of giving sanctuary to people who need sanctuary, regardless of what crime they may or may not have committed.
The church views it's mission as one of giving aid to the injured, food to the hungry, shelter to the homeless and hope to the hopeless. Regardless of what your position may or may not be on illegals, I think everyone can agree that many fit into that category - especially the women and children.
Oh no, I understand the giving food and shelter, but I have always wondered why they didn’t encourage them to abide by the law. (the Bible says “obey the laws of the land”)
Not sure about he correlation with abortion. It was kind of random...guess it’s on my mind b/c of all the Catholic/abortion controversy (Notre Dame)lately.
But, if they give sanctuary to all people...even if they have committed a crime...then ok.
And one more thing...I just thought the illegals were using the U.S.’s Catholic churches to hide in...not necessarily for food/shelter. If food/shelter was all they needed, then there are plenty of Catholic churches in Mexico, right?
Thank you for responding...
