The governor of Florida is taking issue with an ad campaign featuring a quote from Archbishop Thomas Wenski criticizing the governor for his views on immigration.
In a Feb. 15 tweet, Christina Pushaw, the press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), said that “lying is a sin” in reference to a recent ad campaign featuring the Wenski’s words.
“And yes, if someone makes a false statement, whether it’s an organization of CEOs for illegal immigration or the Archbishop, I will call it like it is. They made a blatantly false statement and they should retract it,” she said.
Pushaw, a Catholic, said that she has “no antipathy toward any religion” and that “Catholics do not have to support illegal immigration or human smuggling.”
The advertisements, placed by the American Business Immigration Coalition Action, quote Wenski claiming that DeSantis called immigrant children “disgusting.”
“DeSantis wants to eliminate immigrant children’s shelters in Florida, like the ones that housed Cuban children who came alone during the Pedro Pan exodus in the 1960s,” said the Spanish-language advertisement.
An English translation of the advertisement was published on its Vimeo page.
“To please his political base, DeSantis wants to convince us that the suffering of those children was more worthy of help than that of these Venezuelan and Haitian children who are fleeing dictatorship, socialism and violence,” said the ad. “That’s why many of the Pedro Pans, who today are pillars of this community, are expressing their outrage alongside Catholic Archbishop Wenski and business leaders.”

Is the Pope Catholic?
Doubtful, and I question this dude as well. A mix of Socialism and Catholicism leaves much of the former and little of the latter.
Thomas Gerard Wenski is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was appointed Archbishop of Miami by Pope Benedict XVI on April 20, 2010 and was installed on June 1, 2010. He previously served as Bishop of Orlando, coadjutor bishop of Orlando, and auxiliary bishop of Miami. He was ordained in 1976 in Miami.
Wenski started out ok, but unfortunately I think he has been trying to curry favor with Francis lately and has come out with a lot of strange statements (and actions).
The pope and many other leaders in the Catholic church are definitely not catholic. They are leftist totalitarians.
I know he did if he opened his mouth and words came out. Satan will employ all of his minions to get rid of DeSantis. He is a thorn in his side. Be wary, Joe. You have powerful forces arrayed against you. All the evil in the Universe.
“Thou shalt not bear false witness.”
Hey, I didn’t write that. Matter of fact I didn’t write, “Thou shall not commit adultery.” I definitely wouldn’t have written that one, but it keeps society civil.
No matter, somebody may end up in Hell...
