And more and more people are flocking to the Catholic Church because it is the one church that refuses to budge on these matters.

And, oh, did I mention that the media hates the Catholic Church because of it?

I live in a small parish in Oregon and we had 25 converts and people coming into full Communion with the Catholic Church

The Archdiocesan group this year was so large that it had to be broken up by parishes at the Cathedral for the Rite of Election — when the names of the converts are given to the Bishop.

I forgot to say that there were three sessions of the Rite of Election. (And remember, this is Oregon!)

Odd, before the last decade the local Catholic church was almost dead here. Illegal immigration basically is what has flocked to our local congregation. The Catholic church not only has budged on it's illegal's position, to just plain campaigning for open borders basically. Alabama's new immigration law was sued the other day by such Catholic policy.

John 10:1 -- He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.

wow and of course there is no question of different races, ethnic groups, cultures intermingling as there is NO diversity on central doctrine (”We believe in One God, the Father the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in One Lord, Jesus Christ, Only begotten Son of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten not made, of One being with the Father, through Him all things were made.....)
