"Maybe the scales are finally falling off the eyes of the true faithful Catholics."

This is one reason why I stopped being a Catholic. Pope John-Paul II keep me in the faith during the 1980s and 1990s. Since his death, there was little to keep me as one of the faithful. France is a disgrace. If I were still a Catholic I would start an American version of the Church with no Pope.

I've seen a few conservative "man on the street" interviews at protests where the question was asked about personally letting refugees stay at their "home" or giving a donation. Every one of the hypocrites said no. Most of these idiots live at home (with mom and dad), jobless and total leftist basement dwellers.

Ironically, we as a country are paying for these immigrants by money funneled through the legacy of Obama. The amount is staggering. The typical American welfare recipient doesn't get anything close to the benefits handed out to the typical immigrant. The NGO's funded by we the taxpayers are predominately "Christian" charities and of course the biggest law breaker is Catholic Charities which is full blown sanctuary.

The "wall" is not just literal. Language, borders, culture and sovereignty mean something. I love this country and Americans have been kicked around by the regime of Obama and now this garbage with third world colonization. Refugees from the Mideast rarely go back home. This open borders crap needs to stop. If left to the Pope's no walls ideology, the Christian and Jew would be exterminated by Caliphate from the Mideast and the west would eventually collapse. The three prong attack of Soros, Pope and Islam is the greatest threat that the free world has seen since WWII.

And as far as this Pope is concerned, I repeat, “Reformation, not Rome.”

Still waiting on those bridges of understanding arising out of the middle east.

And let's not let the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service off the hook (maintains relationships with three national Lutheran denominations: the ELCA, the LCMS, and the Latvian ELCA)—one of nine refugee resettlement agencies working with the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement, and one of only two that works with unaccompanied refugee minors.

The islamic terrorists have said that they would take over the Vatican. Looks like this pope is surrendering without a fight.

Francis has plenty of help within the ranks, too. Last Sunday, the bishop of the Diocese of Fort Worth sent out a letter to be read at all masses, expounding on the same nonsense.

Fortunately, the pastor has a very heavy Indian accent and I could only understand about one-fourth of what he read. I figured it was bad, though, from the nervous little laugh the priest gave beforehand, and the pointed disclaimer: "The Bishop's letter, NOT my letter!".

I went on the Diocese website later and read the letter. Had I heard and understood every word while in church, I would've probably walked out.
