“Then give to Caesar what is Caesar, but give to God what is God’s.” (Mat 22:15-21)

I'm surprised you guys have the guts to show up around here with the unabashed support of the Catholic Church for the illegal invasion.

Last Sunday, Assumption Day, there was a parade here complete with Mexican Flags and Aztec dancers headed to the local Catholic Church.

So enlighten me, why is the Catholic Church aiding and abetting lawbreakers?

‘It would seem that the smart play would be for senior management in your organization to direct middle management and front line workers to take NO position on the issue, or seek other employment.’

If you would look at some Catholic Caucus threads (remember, no posting) you would see that there is plenty of objection to the positions of the liberals within the Church. However the Church is not governed as an absolute monarchy, it is closer to the medieval system, with a hierarchy of higher and lower ranking clergy, who can only be removed in agreement with Canon law which is not fast acting. Even in replacing retiring bishops, the Pope must confer with lower clergymen. In the last couple of decades there has been a vast improvement in the quality of bishops, but the Church does not turn on a dime.

As far as the Immigration Laws of the United States is concerned there is no one responsible for promoting a Catholic position on them. It is up to American Catholics, particularly laymen, under the moral guidance of the clergy to participate in American politics to set the ‘Catholic position’.

I mean “Gomez.” Sorry for the spelling error.

“Catholics, though you don’t have any control over USCCB politics, it’s paid for by YOU, via assessments on your diocese.”

Just thought I’d repeat that.
Thank you for posting.
