I’d also read that this was staged.
The vast majority of the current population self-identifies are "Christian". Are they actually practicing Christians? If they were, we wouldn't have so many Americans eagerly embracing the Supreme Court's decision to force sodomite marriage on this nation. Miley Cyrus is a "Christian" on paper but she has utter contempt for Christian beliefs.
Same situation with immigrants. The vast majority of them will self-identify as "Christians". Are they actually practicing Christians? Many are not. They may have been baptized in a church when they were a baby, and have a family that is nominally "Christian", but they don't attend church today, or even understand or accept basic church dogma or values.
Having a "Christian" majority on paper is easy. Having a nation that truly governs in a Christian way is something entirely different. I do not see compelling evidence that importing hordes of third world immigrants with children out of wedlock is making this nation any more "Christian". Indeed, I see evidence that the opposite is happening.
So we have freepers that agree with the “They’re doing the jobs Americans won’t, let’s give these hardworking wonderful people a hug and a wet sloppy kiss” philosophy? I guess that shouldn’t surprise me.
Another thing I hate is this “We’re all immigrants” bullsh!t because of ancestors being immigrants (even the Indians didn’t originate here, they walked over).
I was born here to US Citizen parents, I am not an immigrant.
If I had a kid that had a strong calling to go to this pope, I would seriously qeustion whether I had a demon child. I would definitely invest in holy water and crosses. All mute points because I would not walk across the street to see this communist #%*£.
Heh. I was arguing with a freeper on another thread who kept bashing the Catholic Church's liberal views on immigration, so I googled his church and the leader of the Southern Baptist Convention is even more pro-illegal than Francis.
Their guy actually goes around delusionally blathering about how "Jesus was an illegal immigrant"
The kicker? He was unopposed when he ran for re-election as President of the SBC last year! You'd think at least SOMEONE would have at least challenged him out of embarrassment of that guy as the face of his denomination. He claims nobody cares who the leader of the SBC is. So they don't have to clean up their own backyard, but of course they get to lecture us about the open-borders Catholic leaders.
Defending one's faith is one thing, but repeating the "They’re just good hard-working Christians doing the jobs Americans won’t do" is quite another.
Lay Catholics not only should, but have an obligation to point out we do NOT agree with the Pope's position.
Sorry, guy. I’ve watched what these so-called “Christian” illegals can do to one’s neighborhood. And it’s exactly like Trump described. Drugs, rapes, murders. I had an attempted murder across from my house of two police officers by one of these illegals who (thanks to both Zero & Dubya) remained unmolested in this country for a decade.
They brought nothing but crime and mayhem and plunging property values. I had to deal with terroristic harassment from neighbors 20 feet away from my home of 4 decades that the police did nothing about it in this new era of “tolerance.” Thank the Good Lord those degenerate, drunken animals finally moved on after daily prayer from me asking they be delivered far away.
If you cannot get these “Christians” to obey basic laws of immigration, willfully choosing to disregard how long they are allowed to stay, how do you expect them to seriously obey any other laws ? If they respect our country, they’ll respect our laws and LEAVE. They can get in line and follow the proper channels to migrate legally once out of our country.
Some 5 year old anchor baby “breaks through” the barricade to “plead” with Pope Francis that her parents are illegals and blah, blah, blah?
Does the media really think we’re >>>all<<< that f-ing stupid?
This Pope is a true embarrassment to Christianity. He’s a stain.
“...Does the media really think we’re >>>all<<< that f-ing stupid?...”
Umm... does the phrase “Obama’s second term” mean anything???
Yeah brother... they really do. And half the country proved it twice.
“If you cannot get these “Christians” to obey basic laws of immigration, willfully choosing to disregard how long they are allowed to stay, how do you expect them to seriously obey any other laws ? “
You N A I L E D it!!
The GOPe ran two unelectable candidates back to back. Millions of Americans stayed home.
You’re right. Yep.
I’m curious as to how much $$$ these poor, huddled, law breaking, masses donate to their benefactors in the church?
“crickets”
I caught 90 seconds of this “Pope’s” speech; pure “social justice” Communist propaganda. Not surprised.
He is a dyed in the wool SJW; not fit to run a birdbath, let alone a religion.
“I caught 90 seconds of this “Pope’s” speech; pure “social justice” Communist propaganda. Not surprised.”
You have 90 seconds more balls that I do.
He’s not your guy, friend!
More like 90 seconds less acid reflux.
Who cares about rape, murder, child molesting, ruined schools, drunks on every highway, and a permanent left-wing majority?
Installing FIOS cable and landscaping is all that counts!
