A obvious aspect of "defending one's country" is the necessity of defending its borders against foreign invasion.
Socialist bishops (whose selective reading of the catechism provides them an excuse to stand shoulder to shoulder with those promoting the illegal invasion for political motives, such as Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Deval Patrick) are frauds. Nowhere in the catechism does it state that Catholics are required to volunteer themselves or their families to be victimized, bankrupted and exploited by lawless hordes who are invading their country for financial gain. Furthermore, these churchmen are apparently indifferent to the fact that these are CRIMINALS pouring over the border - criminals who are raping, murdering, pillaging, spreading serious diseases and draining our limited social welfare benefits. Our nation is BROKE. When the benefits inevitably run dry, these invaders will return from whence they came. Meanwhile, they are exploiting the American people with the full support of Church leaders such as Cardinals O'Malley and Gomez.

Several family members of victims of horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens have invited House Speaker John Boehner to visit the U.S. Border with Mexico with them in a fiery letter provided exclusively to Breitbart News. “As you leave Washington, D.C. to vacation with your families, our families invite you and your entire family to spend the weekend in McAllen, Texas,” the victims' family members wrote to Boehner and other lawmakers Wednesday. “We invite you to see firsthand the invasion and lawlessness that is destroying our beloved country, and how you (and others) have given de facto permission and unfettered access to the perpetrators who have killed our loved ones, leaving our families in complete grief and disbelief as to 'how' this horrific tragedy was allowed! What about our children, Mr. Boehner? Where is the out-cry for OUR children and American families?”...
It’s horrible
