. Cardinal Timothy Dolan blasted the Trump administration’s policy of separating kids from their parents on Friday night, calling it “un-American and unbiblical.”

The White House got into holy hot water this week when Attorney General Jeff Sessions and press secretary Sander Huckabee Sanders both referenced scripture to claim the administration has the moral authority to forcibly take kids away from parents if they cross the southern border illegally. “I mean, that’s just unjust. That’s un-American and unbiblical,” Dolan, leader of New York City’s 2.8 million Catholics, told CNN on Friday night.

Sessions specifically cited the Apostle Paul who in Romans 13 reminded Christians to honor and obey authority.

There’s nothing biblical about molesting little boys. Nothing legal about it either, unlike enforcing our immigration laws.

[BenLurkin]

So re-unite them. As they are pushed back into Mexico.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Who cares what Comrade Cardinal Dolan thinks. Comrade Cardinal Dolan should be advised that the U S Border Patrol has not separated a single child from their family that resides in Mexico or Central America.

So I guess according to him that stealing is okay - and is Biblical.

[amihow]

Dear God, if the current policy is keeping kids away from liars and traffickers better than the alternative which allowed kids to be placed in literal slavery , why speak like this?

I have read that kids were trafficked in America in the Obama years.

[seowulf]

Sneaking into somebodies home and stealing their stuff isn’t biblical either.

[King Moonracer]

And because Sodom is biblical, the good cardinal condones and hides that.

GTFO my county and go to the vatican.

Let's see what the book says about obeying the law:

Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. 1 Peter 2:13-17

Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law Romans 3:31

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience Romans 13:1-14

“I mean, that’s just unjust. That’s un-American and unbiblical,”

I wonder what his views are of Israelites taking over the promised land after coming out of Egypt.
Is that unbiblical?

Should have kept Mexico, Cuba, etc.

“...We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law...”

-Ezra, Chapter 10

If parents had only the children they could feed and shelter, perhaps there wouldn’t be such a mob invading our country on the southern border. Maybe the Catholic Church could better educate its people, concentrating on the concept of division rather than multiplication.

[jospehm20]

Catholics preach open borders for everybody else but they don’t let illegals into the Vatican, do they? They also have huge walls around it. Hypocrites.

[DesertRhino]

As far as I know, this Dolan guy his kicked out a lot of priests for that kind of pervert activity. But he’s wrong about immigration

[M-cubed]

send them to the Vatican..you can go with them.....there’s certainly enough money to take care of them all...Stop whining and get acting!

[dynachrome]

The wall around the Vatican. Tear down that wall, Pope Francis!
