Stick to the Bible, Bishops. The President is required to follow the Constitution.
MORE FROM THE BISHOPS:
“The Church has recognized and proclaimed the need to welcome young people: ‘Whoever welcomes one of these children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me’ (Mark 9:37). Today, our nation has done the opposite of how Scripture calls us to respond. It is a step back from the progress that we need to make as a country. Today’s actions represent a heartbreaking moment in our history that shows the absence of mercy and good will, and a short-sighted vision for the future. DACA youth are woven into the fabric of our country and of our Church, and are, by every social and human measure, American youth.”
The bishops “strongly” urged Congress “to act and immediately resume work toward a legislative solution,” adding that “we pledge our support to work on finding an expeditious means of protection for DACA youth.”
So all the worlds illiterates are free to live on the churches property free of charge?
Please look up the term "enabler" in a dictionary or psychiatric journal and get back to us after you realize what you've been doing for decades.
Liberal bishops losing more liberal voters.
The Vatican can open their tall walls and take them in.
translation: Crap, illegals make up at least 1/3 of our weekly collection!
The Bishops are mostly out of control now, killing off Catholic identity, becoming raving political Leftists with globalist agendas for government and religion.
The Church will be pressed underground, apparently in our own life time, to even function as the traditional Catholic Church.
Since these are Catholic bishops, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is authoritative regarding their conduct and teaching.
2241 The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.
My emphasis; illegal immigrants spectacularly fail to live up to their obligations as taught by the Catholic Church. Hey Bishops! This is YOUR Church, YOUR teaching. FOLLOW IT!!!
THIS is what the Catholic Church is concerned about??? Amazing.
I still contend the Catholic Church is an enemy of the American people.
Yank their tax-free status. Dearest bishops: shut up.
“Render unto Caesar the things that are his.”
These guys need to read about Nehemiah - the Bible is ALL about appropriate wall building:
The Constitution of the United States wisely divided and separated the powers of the federal government! A law, to be Constitutional, is legislated by the Legislative branch, and it is executed by the Executive branch.
Under Obama, DACA was implemented by skipping the Legislative step, which means it was not Constitutional.
The Trump Administration has given the full Congressional branch of the government the opportunity to right this wrong and to make DACA a legal action--if that branch, as representatives of "the People" and "the States" wish it to be.
Back up your words with actions, Congress and Senators, if you wish!
They have lost their moral authority in all matters, and should worry about judgment day when each of them is called to account.
Tick-Tock..
DACA is DemoCACA! How about TACO: Trump’s Action for Child Outsiders?
These bishops are taking their stand against both Catechism and Constitution.
They are very much mistaken.
