. 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.

If he wants to do Biblical, I can get on board with that.
“... save alive nothing that breathes, but you shall devote them to complete destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the LORD your God has commanded (Deut. 20:16-17)”
Great sentiment against him. I thought of that, too.
52% of overall US Catholics voted for Trump. The good ones.No one who voted against Trump can be “good” in my belief system. Too bad if they don’t like it. I don’t like them, either.
To such Cardinals: Thou shalt Not Speak Ill of Donald Trump.
Stay out of politics Tim and do whatever you do.
I may be mistaken but I was CERTAIN that The Vatican has HUGE walls all around it and TONS of security to Keep. People. Out.
It’s a FORTRESS with it’s own Sovereignty, is it not?
I’m sure some guys on this site will be happy to render some things to the bad guys. All that is coming to them.
Is Caesar Obama or Hillary or Mueller? Planned Parenthood?
They know as they come here illegally that they will be separated, so in essence it is they who are separating their own families since they know what the results will be if they come here.
Don.t come here illegally and stay together. Simple.
well said
hypocrite Catholics who built walls around the Vatican
Yes. Open those walls and let the immigrants come in and be housed, fed, clothed and given medical care. Do it.
I asked a local Catholic at work: Why don’t Catholics take over the needs of good people who lost their jobs and houses and can’t feed their families? She said , no, that’s something they firmly have ruled not to do. They won’t do it.
Yeah. They really care about the “unwashed “. Sure you do, pope Marxist
Just stop. We are on to you. You’re a fake pope in a fake position in a fake Vatican. You will enentully be dragged out by your commie hair from the holy place you have infiltrated. And I will rejoice on that day.
And I’m not even Catholic!
That is an Oliphant cartoon. He’s known to mock the tea party and calls Our President a Nazi
Yes, they don’t want to be bothered or interrupted as they pontificate (intentional) against us for liking Trump.
Well, duh.
But the assholes in charge don’t seem to get that.
Who’s fault is it that people who come here illegally with children have caused their own problems With separation????
Just where in the Bible does it say “Thou Shalt Have Open Borders?”
Maybe Dolan can take a trip down south and work to make living conditions better in those horrible countries. Instead, he will stay in his nice, safe home in the USA.

Build the Wall.
—God to Nehemiah
Catholic catechism recognizes the moral duty of immigrants to respect the laws and culture of the host nation. Economic or standard of living “refugees” don’t get a pass. I am sick to death of soft-headed bishops.
Thank you
Cardinal Dolan should read the Bible again. Lot of examples of all kids of things done back then that pale in comparison to today.
Of course no one of the left ever talks about the continuing genocides going on in Africa and what happens there every single day to people including the children.
So, if a criminal with gun holds up the collection plate money, and is wrestled down for the police, is it biblical to take him away to jail; away from his kids?
I think Dolan is virtue signaling to the Latin community so more will attend his diocese churches. He needs that collection plates money, and if it means taking a father down in front of his kids, he will make sure collection plate robbers get what they deserve.
