If they are not for securing our southern borders, they are globalists, meaning communists.

Los Angeles, Calif., Aug 13, 2019 / 05:00 pm (CNA).- The Archbishop of Los Angeles wrote this week that the white nationalism that motivated a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas is a sign that the U.S. has lost touch with the Christian ideals of the nation’s founding. He called Christians to give witness to the common humanity of all people.
“In the 22 dead in El Paso, and the two dozen more wounded, in the children left with no parents, in the shattered security of a peaceful border town, we are left with some hard questions about what our nation is becoming,” Archbishop Jose Gomez wrote in his Aug. 13 column.
The perpetrator of the Aug. 3 mass shooting in El Paso, in which 22 people were killed at a Walmart, is reported to have posted online a white nationalist manifesto shortly before his attack.
His post lamented a “Hispanic invasion” in the U.S., decried intermarriage between Hispanics and white Americans, and criticized Democratic and Republican politicians, while noting that some Republican policies might reduce “mass immigration.”
“If ‘white nationalism’ is on the rise, it is a sign of how far we have fallen from the Christian universalism of our nation’s founding ideals,” Gomez wrote.
The archbishop, who is an immigrant to the United States from Mexico, added that “El Paso hit me in a personal way. My family is Mexican and American, and we trace our roots back to the early 1800s in what is now Texas; I lived much of my adult life there, including my five years as Archbishop of San Antonio,” he added.

” who is an immigrant to the United States from Mexico”
So uh, Joe...what’s this “we” stuff?
You trace your family to Tejas in the early 1800s? But you’re from Mexico?
In other words your family most likely sided with Santa Anna and crossed the river either after 1836 or 1846.
But now El Reconquistador says he’s us.
Don’t tell Sam Houston. Or Stephn Austin. Or especially David Crockett and Jim Bowie. Or my Tennessee Volunteer relative who fought the 1846 war and ended up dead in Mexico. They might not appreciate your humor.
Nobody likes a mass murderer. But don’t think we’re gonna do a 180 and say it’s OK now, Alleallee in come free.
And as far as Los Angeles goes, you had nothing - nothing at all - with making it the great city that it became.
Hey padre... my parents and I came here as LEGAL immigrants...
STFU... YOUR VIRTUAL MORALITY is worthless in encouraging child and drug traffickers. What a moron.
Whatevs Padre.
Hey Mr Holier than Thou !
How much did your diocese make last year on these immigrants?
This illegal invasion is BIG BUSINESS now for the Catholic church...spare me your calling on this Holy name of Jesus while the church keeps its illegal cash cow going.
I don’t agree with him about nationalism. To me nationalism means the same as patriotism. Those who insert the white race to make their point are the actual racists. How can being a nationalist in your own country be a bad thing? There are a lot of Hispanic nationalist in this country whom I also respect equally with white nationalists. Patriots come in all colors...black, white and brown.
So, white America is a myth, huh? Nice try. Keep demonizing whites and you just might meet REALLY mean white people.
This Mex priest should focus on getting his people to obey our immigration laws rather than lecture us on tolerating the ongoing invasion.
I think Mexico needs this guy more than LA does. He should be down there in Mexico screeching about the sorryass government they have there. A government that is so worthless it encourages it citizens to go to the United States if they want opportunity and to live a better life.
AB Gomez,
What have you to say about the Leftist inspired shooter in Dayton, Ohio?
Gomez is a myth himself and an imposter.
Yeah. That’s standard Reconquista crap.
“You were never here! Dees ees ahr land!”
SOB says that in 1970 he gets his butt handed to him.
“Noting that Spanish was spoken in North America well before English was”
So that means this is your land, right Reconquistador? The evil Gringos got no right to have a border and keep out the REAL owners of the land, the Spanish?
What’s “American” about this a-hole?
Needs to be impolitely asked to return to the land and people he actually belongs to.
Another “Church” that needs to be taxed.
The Archbishop is a legal immigrant. Look him up on Wiki.
God never meant for the world to be United, until Christ returns to establish his Kingdom.
AB Gomez was totally different when he was in San Antonio.
He has done a total 180 since going to California.
Really sad for those who knew him back then.
“Noting that Spanish was spoken in North America well before English was””
Actually, an English expedition lead by the Italian John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) reached the North American mainland before any Spanish speakers did. Old Norse was spoken here before any Spanish or English for that matter.
If they are not for securing our southern borders, they are globalists, meaning communists.
It was totally fair when the Spanish conquistadors wiped out the Indians in the Southwest.
/sarc
I don’t think they were speaking Spanish before that.
“The Archbishop is a legal immigrant”
Nothin American about the guy. It’s an insult to my patriot ancestors to call him one. When he took the oath he had his fingers crossed behind his back.
He says he’s Mexican and American. Really? You can be one or the other but not both.
We all know what country and people he’s loyal to.
And a really simple way to identify that is to ask yourself, in the Second Mexican-American war, whose side will he be on?
We all know the answer.
