President-elect Donald J. Trump is to be inaugurated Monday and his mass deportation program is slated to begin Tuesday. While a number of Catholic bishops have spoken out against Trump’s deportation plans (I’ve covered the subject for The American Spectator here, here, and here), the Catholic Church has actually long supported the right of nations to defend their sovereignty, their borders, and their national culture and identity.
The Catholic Church’s teachings on national sovereignty, culture, and identity are perennial and immutable.
In what would surely be characterized as a nationalist hate screed if published today, Pope Leo XII wrote in 1885, “Nations have their own distinct character and genius, bestowed upon them by divine Providence, and it is the duty of the state to ensure that these unique identities are respected and fostered in the development of society.”

Faithful servant of the oligarchs against the interests of low-wage, home born workers, “Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Trump administration’s proposed deportations would be “an absolute gut punch” to the U.S. economy.”
