In a homily stressing the need for immigration reform, Archbishop Jos

Another of N reasons (where N is a growing number) why I am no longer a Catholic.
Same here. I would leave my church if they advocated lawlessness just to have butts in the seats and money in the collection plates.

Gomez Steps Up Campaign for More Pro-Abortion Voters
Gomez is a naturalized citizen. Is that what he want speople to do? I would think so.
“No habla ingles en el cathedral”
Did not happen in my Church. Sounds like they may have gotten cold feet in areas that are not already majority Hispanic.
Explain the offset to the physical, economic, spiritual, damage done by illegals killing, raping, drug dealing, robbing, ganging up neighborhoods, flooding the prisons.
Consider what is best for the whole flock, not just a few contagious strays.
Link does work now.
The inevitable, foreseeable consequence of more immigrant voters (legal and illegal) is an ever-larger margin of victory for pro-abortion politicians. These are the same politicians who hate the Church, and who applaud persecution of the Church—in such forms at the HHS Abortion Mandate.
Archbishop Gomez must take responsibility for the foreseeable result of his campaign for more immigrant voters. He is actually campaigning to solidify a pro-abortion majority in the United States.
No one has the right to enter someone else’s country AND THEN VOTE FOR MASS MURDER. But this is exactly what immigrants, including “Catholic” Hispanics, do.
My point is that Hispanics (and other immigrant groups) come here and vote for mass murder. NO ONE has the right to come into another country and vote for mass murder.
Gomez appears to be completely unconcerned that his efforts must lead to an ever-larger majority of pro-abortion voters.
There is the matter of State Sovreignty.
There is the fact that imposing slave wages on LEGAL immigrants, by promoting the influx of ILLEGAL immigrants, is SOCIALIST and against Church teachings.
If the response is that employers “have a duty to provide ALL of their workers with a living wage”, that is further SOCIALISM.
Tell Mexico to fix their broken system.
And were your ancestors Irish or Scotch? Were they immigrants to the United States? That’s what I’m getting at.
We are a land of immigrants.
I pray the pro-abortion bent does not materialize.
During a previous push for amnesty, some columnist found a couple of Vatican papers written by one Fr. Joseph Ratzinger (pre-papacy) that discussed such valid issues when accepting/refusing immigrants.
With all due respect to the cardinal, this is a political question, not a religious one. The Church should not address the topic one way or the other.
I am Irish, Italian, French Canadian. Nobody among my ancestors came here and voted for politicians who promote genocide.
Hispanics, Asians, and other immigrant groups vote about 70% for pro-abortion politicians. Thus, if Gomez succeeds, he will be guaranteeing a bigger pro-abortion vote. And it’s the pro-aborts who gave us Obamacare—with the HHS Abortion Mandate, the fines for non-profit hospitals if they treat people free, etc. They want to reduce Christians to “freedom of worship”—i.e., going to church and coming home—but NO OTHER social/charitable activities.
Abortion, and oppression of the Church—this is what Archbishop Gomez and many other bishops are campaigning for.
