“And you Archbishop Gomez: encouraging people to live a life of sin is not the duty of a man who claims to preach the Gospel of Truth.

If lives were in danger - it would be different.
This is a matter of people wanting more ‘stuff’.
Its certainly OK to want ‘stuff’ - but not at the expense of living a life of sin by lying and stealing (as one does when they falsely represent themselves as being legal residents of a Nation) to achieve it.”

You are putting words into the Archbishops mouth. This itself is SIN! Thanks.

RE: 53

Please, explain to me what the Archbishop is trying to say. The article provides this quote from the Archbishop:

“Most of the men and women who are here illegally have traveled hundreds even thousands of miles. They have left everything behind, risked their safety and even their lives,” he said. “They did this, not for their own comfort or selfish needs. They did this to feed their loved ones. To be good mothers and fathers. To be loving sons and daughters.”

My observation remains the same. This man who who claims to point people towards Christ (the "Truth"), is praising people who are openly, and unabashedly, living a life of sin. They are breaking known laws, and as such are living a life based on lies and theft (stealing identities and stealing from the American taxpayers).
This not showing love to their sons and daughters as the Archbishop claims.
This is teaching them to live a life of sin.
Better to be upright and poor, than to acquire material comforts at the cost of their integrity (Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?).

The Archbishop praises these people for these actions. So please elaborate - what words did I put into the Archbishop's mouth? Thanks.
