The Church backed the wrong horse on the Messican illegals, FRiend.
I came from a religious background rather older than the Church. But, whenever Mosaic, or any other “law” is in conflict with the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, I ignore that “law”. Americans always have.
As Washington said, “The Constitution is sacredly obligatory upon all”.
As the Church stupidly expected America to tolerate queer priests buggering boys, one can’t help wondering if the Church hierarchy is so isolated and stupid as to assume America will tolerate “swarms of Messicans sent here to eat out our substance”.
Well, America pretty much “ignored” buggering school teachers during the same time. There are about 12,000 school districts in the United States, and the way that they handled queer folks of all persuasions was to let them go away. In August, when school districts have a pressing need to fill slots, they pretty much take anyone. Out of sight, out of mind. Plus birds of a feather, flock together. They have friends who are willing to help them get a job. There were always safe havens. Until the Priest scandal, districts were even subscribing to the notion that “children at risk” needed”mentors”.Pederasty was being updated from the old Greek days. Now, ironically, despite the power of the gay lobby, they have had to put that agenda aside —for the moment.
