Advocacy of the lower classes, even when they violate the law, is also a part of the Church's mission.
the RCC did persecute those who believed His Word.
The heretic does not know or understand the Word, that is why he is a heretic. However, in any case, all the heretics had to do was renounce Catholicism. If they want to belief their charlatan pastors they are free to do so but not under the Catholic label.
So the church advocates breaking the laws of one country to *help* those of another who enter aforementioned country illegally?
Why doesn't the Church do something in the country of origin of these poor people instead of destroying the US by advocating illegal immigration?
Seems to me that the proper mission would be to raise the standard of living in the impoverished countries the illegals are fleeing. Those countries often have abundant natural resources. The reason they're poor is because of corrupt and immoral governments.
And considering the poorest are often heavily Catholic, why doesn't the Catholic church exert it's influence in those heavily Catholic countries cleaning out the corruption and immorality in the government there?
Then it can help the people there by educating their children and teaching them marketable skills, and moral lifestyles, and decent basic hygiene and health care? Why foist it off in the US to pay for and bankrupt us?
