A underground railroad that is not underground at all..
For me, this is a tough one, the RCC serves God and the Faith first, to deny desperate people food or even a chance at a better life for their families is not very moral.
ONTOH, A part of me thinks that this is a demographic play that involves bringing poor RCC members to a country were they will become much wealthier and have even more RCC children.
That said, if the RCC is so concerned with the plight of of the Central American poor, then why aren’t they speaking out about the horrible conditions rather then merely casting aside the law of the land of the US?
Also, why isn’t the RCC speaking out about the terrible treatment of non Mexican immigres at the hands of the Mexican police and Government?
Is it the RCC’s role to do what the US Government should be doing?..That is- speaking from Washington DC and telling the Central American nations to do a better job with their people, and vigorously protesting Mexican treatment of our US Nationals held in Mexican jails, or held as hostages?.
The RCC is not responsible for affairs of State..it is responsible for the care of souls..and broken bodies..it is called compassion. This makes it difficult for US Catholics because we are so close to Mexico..The US Government needs to pass a comprehensive immigration bill to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and criminals into the US. That is Congress’ job and the President’s duty to sign a bill into law..It is not the RCC’s fault if this is not happening...
