you would commit a mortal sin because someone interpreted what a visit from the Pope would mean????????please....
The churches in the Pima diocese are very pro-illegal immigration. Have have attended mass in over 32 of them. There is outright activism in the church against the for illegals. There are memorials to them on church grounds. There are brochures to go and protest the Tucson’s treatment of them at city hall. I’ve attended the Mass where the Catholic school children attend, and talked to their teachers, who teach social justice for the illegals.In the diocese newspaper, those that leave water barrels in the desert for them are considered great humanitarians. Our bishop staged a communion over the fence between Mexico, to symbolize how their salvation was waiting for them here.
During the summer invasion from Central America, I just could not take it anymore. Then last week, a senior member of the Catholic church in Arizona was quoted saying ( which I heard on talk radio) that they rejoiced because the church felt that the pope was on their side with amnesty.
If you say I am committing a mortal sin; then somehow I will have to storm the gates of heaven some other way. For a few Christmases and Easters I have been asked to speak at Mass about my faith and to bring others back to it. I am totally committed to God. It’s the Tucson diocese ( and it is huge) that is spoiled for me.
I am very happy for you that your church does not go against God’s commandments to not steal and to not covet thy neighbor’s goods. I cannot ask you to pray for me, only that I pray you and content and secure in your parish.
