“China’s objection to the Catholic Church is that it wants the Chinese state to appoint the clergy and control the religion.”
Come on now, read that again - it doesn’t make any sense. That’s not their objection, that’s their action; what they do.
Sure, liberal “churches” which don’t believe the Bible, don’t believe in anything like the virgin birth, that Jesus is coming again, etc. (ie. they are not by any reasonable definition Christians) also push open borders out of their leftism. I wasn’t using that as the premise, I was using it as an example of mixed allegience.
I would agree that leftists have mixed allegience also, but it’s a lot harder to pin down. It’s more about psychology today, with the leftists. Their other allegience is kind of their tribe, something which doesn’t exist in any place, although if you push many leftists you will find a soft spot for the traditional anti-US countries.
You also make an anti-Catholic point on church involvement in Open Borders advocacy and you argue that aside from the Catholic Church it is only a matter of "liberal 'churches' which dont believe the Bible" where this "mixed allegiance" is "a lot harder to pin down" and "more about psychology." The following excerpt, from the wikipedia article on the "Sanctuary Movement" says otherwise:
The Presbyterian Church:Not to mention the Quakers, Jews.... Notice the dates following the above quotes of these longstanding Open Border policies.The Presbyterian Church recommends that That the General Assembly support congregations and individuals who provide sanctuary to asylum seekers as a way of showing Christian compassion for them and stressing the need for change in our government's plicies and actions; and that other congregations be challenged seriously to take this stance. 1983.
The American Lutheran Church:
Resolved, that The American Lutheran Church at its 1984 General Convention offer support and encouragement to congregations that have chosen to become refugee sanctuaries. 1984.
The American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A.:
Therefore, we commend to American Baptist churches the following: that we respect those churches that, responding to the leading of God's Spirit, are providing sanctuary for refugees fleeing certain suffering and death in central America. 1984.
