Too bad Gomez isn’t as staunch an adherent to Church teaching when it comes to aiding, abetting and enabling illegal aliens.

SURELY you know the differnce between GOD'S LAW and MAN's law....don't you? Fr. Gomez does also.

I do, but you obviously don't. Church teaching is that people who want to immigrate need to get in line and abide by the laws of the country they want to move to. Gomez, along with many members of the Episcopacy, thumbs his nose at that teaching.

2241 The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.

Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.
