they do this here almost every week in my lib parish. Heck, they prayed for the “end of the Iraq war” 3 years after it officially ended but i won’t hold my breath about Syria.
I am getting ready for 5:30 mass now. IF this is topic of tonites sermon, I will not
put my envelope in collection basket. I will always go to mass. BUT, I will ignore sermon ( not not try to hide that i am not listening) and i will not contribute as i always do any longer until im sure noe of my money is supporting illegal activites.
Why are you asking a faith question to strangers on a political site? Your choice shapes your answer. You should be praying about this matter and reading the Bible and the Catechism as you seek direction if you are serious.
Why attend a church that preaches Christ crucified and resurrected instead of a social (leftist) message?
Stand up and say something
Tell him If you are going to introduce politics into religion, you are going to debate him on it
Because there is no debate about God, but politics always has two sides
I’ve long had varieties of this same question. I suppose you could get up and walk out, at least for part of it. I’ve done that. I don’t present myself as a canon law expert, and I expect to be corrected here if I’m wrong, but I think the obligation, at least for the liturgy of the word part of the mass, extends mostly to the readings.
Its unfortunate there are Christians embracing a false interpretation of scripture. There is nothing in scripture commanding secular govt to embrace amnesty.
Helping sinners dig in sinfulness under pretense of charity an attacking others questioning that is thug religion. Might as sell listen to mohamed saying how Islam is victim of Christians.

If there is a social after the service, be sure to let other people know that the priest was referring to giving Mexican citizens US citizenship, because it is easier for them to take our wealth than repair their own disaster of a country, which they are not willing to do.
You are there to RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION!!! Walk out during the sermon and let the Priest know afterwards that you did that and NOT to bring politics into the Church anymore!!
I’d get up and walk out and never go back. But then I’m not and never will be a catholic.
I was an altar boy, and one mass, the pastor used his homily to urge support for [the fellow Catholics in] the IRA.
don’t go or ell out “You are wrong!”
The Roman church wants to increase its money and power. More Mexicans equal more Catholics.
How do we know this? Was this in an article? I don’t see a source.
Stand up and tell them illegals are illegal plain and simple and if they push for amnesty tell them to pack sand, get up, walk out and find another church... tell them you want a rebate on donations.
yup...have had to deal with the same BS the past few weeks at my church....irony is our parish priest is a former Marine and politically conservative...
First off, I would suggest you fall back to your home and read the Holy Scriptures which is God’s Word, infalliable and inerrant and the truth that every man should know for life and afterlife.
Second, you would then know the truth of God and His Christ, then pray fervently for the Holy Spirit to guide you to a Bible believing church that worships only Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and there you will be with those who know the truth and practice it in their lives having been saved from the sin that so easily besets us. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. The truth is the truth and can only be found in the Scriptures of Christ Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the life of all who believe how He alone was crucified for our sins and rose again the third day for our justification. He will make changes in you that will enlighten you as to who is lying and who is not. Many church leaders do not know or preach the truth of God as only the Scriptures teach.
I converted to the Catholic Church after deciding that it is the one true Church of which Jesus spoke. I grew up as an Episcopalian, and actually got a great deal from it, but it became increasingly obvious that it was not “catholic” or universal in the Nicene sense, since it was limited to England and its colonies, and didn’t appear on the scene until more than 1500 years after Christ ascended into heaven.
I go to Mass to worship God, and to receive the great gift of the Eucharistic Sacrament. Jesus said, “Unless you eat of my flesh and drink of my blood, you shall not have life within you.”
I’ve encountered some annoying priests over the years, but they still provide the Sacraments, which is the basic need.
In any case, if you walk out, you really aren’t short-changing anyone but yourself. Talk to the priest about it, after Mass or in a visit to the rectory, if you feel really strongly about what he says in the sermon. Or, who knows, maybe the sermon will be OK after all.
