I'm not sure this administration is smart enough to not start kicking in the doors of churches and dragging people out of holy mass.


I’m not advocating for this.


I'm not either I just do believe they are smart enough to NOT start doing it.

I'm also pretty sure the Holy Catholic church is right in protecting its members and answerable to God. They didn't create this mess but they have an obligation to Catholics anywhere and everywhere.


They also have an obligation to follow the laws in the locales in which they do business. If they don’t want to, maybe they should lose their tax exempt status.



The have an obligation to God first and foremost.

If you're not Catholic you're opinion of the Catholic Church doesn't matter. You are not part of it.


I’m Catholic.



I'll take your word for it, but your should discuss this within the Church because seeking the opinions of those outside the church makes you kind of not look Catholic.

quote:

If you are Catholic and you have a problem with the way the Catholic Church is ministering to it's body and you complain and discuss it with people who are not in the church then it shows that you are confused and in need of counseling from your priest and/or bishop. Or you're not really in the church and thus your opinion doesn't matter.


I’m in need of no such counseling from a priest if they believe it’s ok to have an infusion of millions of unchecked illegals flood our country.


Sounds like you're confused between the Catholic church and the Government and their roles in enforcing the laws and securing the boarders.

Again I'
m sure your priest and/or bishop can explain the Churches positions much better than a public forum where likely 90% or more are not Catholic and likely not even Christian.

He was two. Would Jesus condemn the two year old brought across a border and separate him from his family thirty years later?

I'm asking how Jesus would treat the situation the Church is currently handling. It's on topic, try to keep up.


Im sorry the separate him from his family part is 100% an emotional line designed to tug in the empathy of people with consciences.

If your friend is deported I truly do feel for his family. However there are laws that we have in this country that are designed to maintain civil peace and well being.

If someone has broken that law, justice needs to be applied equally to him, regardless of time spent here and current living situation.

Additionally, if he’s been here 30 years now, that means he’s at least 32. Let’s say he didn’t think he needed citizenship until he graduated high school at 18, that means he’s been applying for it for the past 14 years. He’s not getting deported or even rounded up with that.

Again, it’s the topical use of scripture to try and guilt Christians in a sad, gotcha attempt.

So you’ve done nothing to support what you’re advocating for. You leftist are such hypocrites. You advocate for illegal aliens yet refuse to put skin in the game by supporting them with your own resources. Carry on virtue signaling though since it makes you feel good.

I also find it funny that the same people who allowed child sex abuse and then covered it up is now lecturing us on being “good Catholics”

As a Catholic, let me know when the Vatican tears down the walls around it and lets in a few thousand Middle Easterners and Africans. Once there they need to monetarily supplement their entire lives. Let us know how that works out.

If he has his paperwork/proof of this process, the government may frick up and round him up, but they will have to pay him for it via a lawsuit. But the chances they actually round him up are very slim if he has legit paperwork.

Also, I’m not saying I like the fact that a section of the US population will have to start carrying papers to prove their status, but with the unfettered illegal immigration that has been allowed since basically the 80’s, we as a nation have to start cleaning this up.

I know someone who literally had a family member arrested driving out of a church parking lot. Not Catholic though - a 7th Day Adventist.

I know all of you rah-rah all this shite but it's not doing Trump or the GOP any favors. Take what you will from it. It's going to end up being a net negative for the party but from what I can tell from this GOP controlled congress, that's kind of the plan.

The dems are going to take back the House, and to boot, they will have hispanics voting blue for the next generation.

Govt is supposed to be good at investigations right?

I agree the issue is waaaay past the tipping point, idk what should be done, but some of the tactics being used dont sit right with me.

But I also dont trust the govt to not frick this up...which to a certain extent they have so far

Romans 13:1, obey the law of the land. End of discussion

So what happens when the law of the land doesn't agree with the Bible? For example...

It's currently illegal to be a Christian and practice in Afghanistan, yet Matthew 28:18-20 instructs all believers to "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". So which is it?


Point being, Christianity and its values cannot always coexist with man-made laws.

A profoundly ignorant post from a profoundly ignorant poster.

What's repulsive is you and yours supporting the exploitation of poor 3rd world illegal law breakers who don't assimilate for the betterment of corporate profit margins.

That I'd what Jesus would rebuke.

Well this law around not being an illegal immigrant is pretty universal so no real reason to play your hypothetical game.

The law I used as an example is not a hypothetical in the slightest as being a Christian is punishable by death in Afghanistan.
