Sorry to break this to you, but councils of Bishops are not the Catholic Church, either.
I routinely have ignored all but the official edicts of the Vatican, when the judgment is entirely political.
And then there's this, as an example :

“I plan in TX this year to leave the U.S. Senate race and the land commissioner race blank and vote for all other Republican candidates on the ballot. So I can’t use the master oval. I will be an “undervote” for Cornball and George P.”
There will be at least four ‘under votes’; wife,daughter and I did not and will not vote for either of them...
I was shocked how much that Bush, The Younger won by. He had to have pulled some Hispanic votes from the Demorat side.
Bush is Catholic. Who do you think makes up the Catholic Church? Catholics! Watch Boehner and you will see how this illegal invasion gets handled. I have done my homework and all of my Catholic in-laws are Catholic liberals. Although very recently one of them has decided that Obamacare is not what was expected and they are upset. And the cause for concern has nothing to do with the contraceptive issues, but the cost increase for healthcare. Another in-law loves Obama and can't wait for his promise of punishing the rich gets fulfilled.
Bush is a reflection of his religion, and the US Constitution is NOT a high priority.
Oh, in spite of my in-laws being liberals I love them.
That's the trouble with dynasties; eventually we're only left with the defectives.
All "Acts of love" exist only if chosen by the giver; Make it institutionally and legislatively mandatory and it becomes a crime; Otherwise the concept of 'rape' would not exist.
The only acceptable focus is the interests of the rooted people of America. This is not debatable, when you read the Constitution. The very preamble states the concern for the posterity of the Founders. When anyone here legitimately takes the oath of citizenship, they accept commitment to the preservation of the multi-generational achievement of the rooted population.
Those of us whose forebears arrived after the Constitution came into effect in 1789, surely are honor bound to preserve the people who accepted us and allowed us to participate in their achievement. If Jeb does not understand this; if he has been led astray, by some unfortunate interest; it can never excuse his dereliction of commitment to the oath he took, every time he was sworn in to public office.

Dynaties always suck!
No exceptions.
And all my Catholic relatives are conservative. And Bush is Catholic and you’re an American citizen. Do you know how start a paragraph without a declarative statement?
I may be a lifelong Catholic by choice.
But it has never made me what they in GB call a "papist."
I may have been warped by my Jesuit education.

Traitor!!!
I am a Christian. (declarative sentence) I adhere to no denomination/division. I abide by the founding fathers that there are unalienable rights, 'life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness' that come only from the Creator. Any time man or a religious organization starts putting themselve(s) above the Creator chaos has been birthed.
I fully support religious freedom. I do not expect that my beliefs trump any other denomination. I do expect to be treated in kind and not be forced by criminal activity to fund other denominations. God has blessed and protected this nation. The peoples in this nation are in majority of belief they can do things better. We are going to have to deal with the consequences.
IF you agree with Jeb Bush that illegal immigration is an 'act of love' - it's 'not a felony', then you are not a conservative.
Conservatives believe in individual responsibility not groupie think. Conservatives do not have to be guilt ed into being compassionate or charitable, it is who they are. Conservatives live in real-ville. Conservatives do not accept redistribution of other peoples wealth. (a few more declarative statements for you.)
“If illegal immigration is an act of love, so is rape.’
great tagline for someone
“Yes, but his brother effectively did the same thing and said about the same thing. That was back in 2005/6”
Exactly, but he did not disqualify himself as President, but WAS President.
His fool bro is not yet the man who would assist in our destruction.
He must be stopped early on
I was a blank slate with regard to Catholicism nearly forty years ago. The Catholics I have interacted with since, use their religion as a safety blanket. I just thought of the word that fits the way their minds perform. Compartmentalization. Sometimes it is as if their brains are so segregated some parts never meet the other parts of their brains.
I wonder if Jeb will take umbrage at 3 or 4 homeless people breaking into his house and sleeping in the house, and eating the food from his refrigerator or freezer. What would be the difference from his 'love immigrants' breaking into the country?
“Today, Jeb tried to inoculate himself regarding this issue”
I think Jeb also inoculated a lot of republicans agains’t him. :-)
