The following comes from a July 11 posting by Ryan Lovelace in National Review Online.
In order to avoid future clashes with the citizens of Murrieta, Calif., over attempts to transfer illegal immigrants there, the Obama administration has turned to an unusual bedfellow: the Catholic Church. Deacon Luis Sanchez of the Diocese of San Bernardino tells National Review Online that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent approached the diocese on July 2, 2014, and “expressed his desire for the Church to help in helping these families reach their destination.” Since that time, he says, diocesan officials have spoken on the phone with ICE, and they held a planning meeting on Monday.
John Andrews, the diocese’s director of communications who attended the planning meeting, tells NRO that the idea is to set up “transitional centers” where volunteers and representatives from Catholic Charities would provide food, medical, and spiritual care for families who have been processed at a Border Patrol station. He says he hopes to help the people pushed out of Murrieta, and would need to accommodate 140 people arriving every three days. Andrews says he expects the centers will house mostly mothers and their children for one or two days. But if there’s a situation where a family needs to stay longer than a day or two, he says that placing illegal immigrants with a local family would represent a “very viable option.”
Andrews says several of the parishes within the diocese might be used as part of the plan, but he would not provide details about the locations he disclosed at Monday’s planning meeting. He has withheld such details, he says, because he does not want to invite the “type of folks who gathered in Murrieta to protest” to disrupt their plans. “They [the Murrieta protesters] don’t see the immigrant in the same way we do, which is as a human being that’s created in God’s image with dignity, just like everyone else,” he says….

It’s a good thing that the bishops have helped so many unemployed Americans find jobs and provide for their families. Wait a minute, I guess I was thinking of some other organization.
The USA is no longer a prosperous nation. The Federal Government is over $17.5 TRILLION Dollars in DEBT, and many States including CA are
over $ Hundreds of Billions of dollars in debt.
This violates the Church teaching on COMMUTATIVE JUSTICE – CCC: 2411 regarding paying just debts.
There are so many in the USA today who can not find work that they quit looking, which takes them off of the Obama Administration’s unemployment numbers.
Everyone needs to read marxist Saul Alinsky’s book “RULES for RADICALS” which includes bringing down a government by overwhelming its financial resources.
Know your enemy.
Both Obama and Hillary Clinton have studied this book.
And yes, the book is dedicated to “Lucifer” – “the very first radical”.
Have you read this?

This is true DANA. I hope all will read your link. Some of it can be documented on the USCCB’s own web site.
The Church is partnering (working for) the Obama Administration.
The same Administration who works for: Abortion, Contraception, Same-sex marriage, and is trying to take away our Religious Freedom by making us remotely (through our tax dollars) participate in their evil.
Money talks, money corrupts, and that is why many Bishops do not speak out against the Intrinsic Evils supported by specific politicians and political parties;
and do not enforce Canons 915 & 1399 to teach, correct and if necessary to discipline scandalous and heretical Catholic politicians. Instead they allow Sacrilege against the Body and Blood of our Lord – for money.
Reminds me of Judas.
Thanks for the post, Dana, and we all know that some of these children have been sexual abused and will just disappear when they get over here and become slaves to the sex industry. Some of them, I suspect, have been deliberately brought over here for such purposes. That is not to say that everyone involved is evil. The only solution sometimes seems to be that God just strikes down dead the evil perpetrators. Perhaps he has struck some down with the HIV and STD epidemics. Then many have the audacity to call anyone who comes out against these crimes and try to stop them — pharisaical — when they really have not a clue as to what is actually gong on.
Excellent posts, AnneT and Maddie! How I wish more people had access to what you’ve written. You’ve connected the dots and seen the consequences (and plotting). You’ve probably been reading about the unmarked buses carrying hordes of illegals to Mich, NY and who knows where. This is all distracting us from something even worse that’s going on.
When I was the Assistant Manager for Field Operations for the US Census 2010 in Idaho, I was asked and arranged for use of Catholic Facilities to conduct Census Training, ostensibly for the good of all.
I was Assured that No Anti-Catholic Pogroms would take place in such facilities and the Church would be Respected as a Host.
After which the ObamAcorn Gaystapo introduced the “GLAAD Glossary” for use in class – which Trashed the Church and Pope and anyone else who wasn’t an abject panderer to their pathological hatreds & perversions.
Letting the Feds under POTUS Down Low Soetoro & his Frothy Mixers & Misandrist mau mau artistes – in to a Catholic Facility, is Inviting Satan to Supper…
With No Spoon long enough to avoid the befouling by such Evil Hatemongers.

“Cardinal Dolan: Anti-Catholic conspiracy theories after Hobby Lobby decision ‘drippingly bigoted’
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-dolan-anti-catholic-conspiracy-theories-after-hobby-lobby-decision
This mass illegal immigration of children and some adults from Central America was not spontaneous, as some have claimed. It began suddenly and was orchestrated and financed by some person or group. One woman, who claimed that she is an “impoverished single mother,” said she paid $9,000 to bring her child and herself to the U.S. Where did an “impoverished single mother” get $9,000? Why did parents pay to send their children thousands of miles with coyotes and criminal drug smugglers? Did they do it so that they could come here later to be with their children? Mexico, which is known for not allowing foreigners to cross its borders, has allowed these tens of thousands of people to traverse it freely to the U.S. Was that a prior agreement made with the Obama regime? Why did these people choose to come north to the U.S., instead of going south to Costa Rica, Panama or one of the South American countries? How many millions of “refugees” can the U.S. support? A nation that cannot control its borders is not a sovereign nation.
They didn’t go south, because there are no jobs south of Mexico. Many of the countries south of Mexico all suffer from the same kind of problems, they just have different groups of people in power. I’d suggest reading a newspaper every now and then.
The families usually save for 10-20 years to obtain the funds necessary to pay a coyote. They scrimp and save every penny.
Which person or group do you think is funding this? Al-Qaeda?
Then the USA needs to take out advertising on TV and billboards in those Countries – no jobs available; unemployment rates higher than advertised since many give up looking; child labor laws, children can not work; Illegal immigration breaks the law and law breakers will be prosecuted, – for legal immigration information go to the US embassy); etc.
But there are jobs here. The work that many undocumented immigrants find is work that Americans believe themselves to prideful to accept. We’re talking hard labor with little pay.
Your argument might have some credibility if there were Americans lining up for many of these jobs. The fact is that our economy depends on these poor souls who took away every day while politicians and people on this website vilify them.
To Anonymous,
I am really sick of hearing that very unfounded argument that Americans won’t do hard labor jobs like the illegals do. It’s nonsense. I moved from California to Idaho, and found White Americans doing all kinds of jobs from gardening, trash man, and working in a car wash, which were many of the jobs taken over by illegals (some with fake I.D.) in California. The construction industry that my husband worked in was devastated with illegals taking over jobs, that put $800 to more than a $1000 in their pockets every week. Those were not low-paying jobs the illegals took over, and put many American men out of work. It’s amazes me how many people here something, then take it as the truth without verifying. It’s usually people who have no real life experience with a situation. I am here to tell you that Americans are doing all kinds of work that you think they are too “prideful to accept.” That’s a lie that is very insulting to Americans.
Anonymous, if you believe what you wrote, then write to your Congressman, and tell him to start LEGISLATION with JAIL time against all those LAZY Americans who will not work. And that none of them should get financial aid or food stamps or the myriad of other tax dollar benefits.
Able bodied people who can find work but refuse are STEALING from US taxpayers.
And tell Obama to quit breaking the law and enforce existing immigration law which includes:
– employers to attest to their employees’ immigration status;
– made it illegal to knowingly hire or recruit illegal immigrants;
– legalized certain seasonal agricultural illegal immigrants,.
(Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986)
There are not enough jobs for the people who are already here.
Candace, I sense a bit of racism in your post. Why is it that only “white” Americans are entitled to these jobs. There are an awful lot of Americans who are not “white.”
Peg, we don’t put people in jail for not working. It’s just not really the way civilized countries operate.
You are right, Peg, Even Ex president Bill Clinton was better at putting people to work than this president.
All I know is that my immediate family has worked hard all our lives. Besides the better jobs we got later, I have worked in packing sheds; canneries both on the belt and in the lab and fourteen hour shifts jogging down paper in a bindery.to put magazines together. The machines in the bindery went very fast, and one had to bend down, pick up a stack of paper, jog it down and put it into the machine. If one let their machine run out of paper, the mechanic would throw his hammer and have a fit. I also worked at one type of job while volunteering at others.
My grandparents raised me that way. At about five foot five my grandfather had even been a lumberjack when he was younger when the trees were cut by hand, and the men had to ride the logs down the river, a very dangerous job. They had a picture of him riding the logs.
My husband has worked hard too, even in the fields and picking fruit. He worked and helped support us while he went to city college.
Our daughters were never given money, except on special occasions. They had to earn their allowance by washing dishes, making beds and other household duties. When they got old enough to want more money and better clothes than we could give them, they got jobs outside the home, and I ended up “taxi” driver for one of them. They worked at various places even while going to college.
There have been cases recently where companies have had American workers train immigrants, only to be replaced by those same immigrants. This has caused a lot of bitterness, too..
Actually, Sarah, many refugees DID go to other central American countries. Does it change your thinking to learn that of the kids who have shown up at the boarder, 85% of them already have family here? If your family were in dire straights, being threatened by drug lords, wouldn’t you try to send them to their relatives?
YFC, rather than spread rumors, please provide a link to official US Government documentation to support your personal claim.
BethAnne- Fair question. I heard the stat on a morning news show I think. I will look for something in print.
YFC, if their parents (not extended family) is here, then let the parents pick them up and pay for their transportation, lodging, food, etc.
The US taxpayers do not own them a free ride.
If Parents do not pick them up, the should be sent back to their Country of origin.
I don’t believe for one minute that a significant number have parents in the USA.
The US taxpayer may not owe them anything, but Christians do, because we are commanded to love our neighbour.
You’ll note that this article is about Christians helping immigrants.
They’re not coming from Mexico. They’re coming from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, primarily. And it’s not about poverty or jobs, it’s about violence in a place where drug gangs control everything, and their lives are in danger.
Why the gangs are in control is a bigger issue, and has a lot to do with the US drug market, decades of political instability that we’ve influenced heavily, and poverty that has myriad contributing factors, some of them unintended consequences of dating to colonialism.

Sarah,
Under the Obamanation, WE ARE NO LONGER A SOVEREIGN NATION!
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika and His Church!
Viva Cristo Rey!
Yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
I am just surprised that the Los Angeles Archdiocese has not chimed in yet.
We have not supported Catholic Charities since learning, thanks to BHO, that they supported ACORN.
On a different note, the number two in the Vatican is Cardinal Maradiaga primate of Honduras. We have come a long way, baby.
I didn’t realize you were Honduran, Gratias . I thought you were a Catholic American?
The Catholic Church should not work for the US Government in violation of the “Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition”
which requires ALL immigrants to “Obey the Law” and to “assist in carrying civic burdens”, not create civic burdens. – CCC: 2241.
Let’s talk about the real reason some Catholic Bishops choose to partner with the IMMORAL/evil Obama Administration who has demonstrated its’ strong support for Intrinsic Evils – abortion, contraception, taking away freedom of Religion, homosexual marriage, etc.
(Remember that everything that happens within a Diocese is ultimately the responsibility of the Diocese Bishop. In this case it is Bishop Gerald R. Barnes.)
Its called MONEY. $$$$$$$$$ Big Business.
These Bishops are married to money.
The USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) gets millions of dollars in Grants from the Obama Administration,
then in turn the USCCB gives Grants to various organizations including their own CCHD.
If the USCCB did not work for the evil Administration, they would not be beholding to do Obama’s bidding.
Many of these Grants $$$$$$ are tied to ILLEGAL immigration, not LEGAL immigration.

CCC: ” 1759 “An evil action cannot be justified by reference to a good intention” (cf. St. Thomas Aquinas, Dec. praec. 6). The end does not justify the means. “
I fear that their will a backlash against Catholics in the USA do to the Bishops working for the Obama Administration.
Obama is perfectly capable of handling this without the Bishops or the Catholic Church.
When I was hungry, you chanted USA, USA at me.
They didn’t look undernourished to me.
Most had recent haircuts too.
Betty: Do you know if most of the occupants of the SS St. Louis had recent haircuts?
PJT, please read the CCC #2241 and #2433 – in full without picking and choosing.
This invasion was planned.
These children are not starving or naked,
They are Law breakers.
(If they were starving or naked, we would have an obligation to send funds through the USCCB to their Diocese in their own Countries.)
No thanks. I’ll rely on the words of Christ (Matthew 25:40-45) rather than the CCC.
Invasion? Really?
I was unaware a cabal of pre-teens from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras banded together and decided to invade the U.S. from its southwestern border.
Please pray for these “law breakers.”
You are correct, PJT, in disbelieving there is a cabal of pre-teens, rather there is a cabal of lawbreakers who are using these children to break the law and break the back of this country.
That is the crime here. And it should be stopped by calling it out for what it is – a crime committed by children. Much like those who would use children as suicide bombers. But instead of rooting out the law breakers, you seem inclined to work right along side them by treating these children as pawns and playing right along.
Ann Malley, liberals don’t realize how their mean spirited and vicious remarks reveal their loathing of genuine Americans and the values they express here. They hate this country and think by spouting quotes from the Bible it makes them sound high minded and above the rest here who respect the laws of our country as well as the laws of God and teachings of our beloved Church. PJT actually sounds like a sleezy leftist holdover from the sixties…a Wormtongue hissing vile lies and criticism posing as a true Catholic. They’re in our schools, courts, churches, and government…everywhere undermining what is true, what is good, what is beautiful.
You can’t shame modernists because they have none. You cannot debate with them because they are incapable of understanding sound logic and doctrine. It’s in the hands of God. If you could see them as they truly are you would see a dense gray wall two feet thick. If they don’t see a mirror image of themselves they cannot see you or hear you. Believe me, it is true!
Maybe God sent them here recognizing the bountiful excess we enjoy in this country?
Despite our problems here, the majority of Americans have it better than 95% of people in the world.
And I must close by saying this grieves me very much! I’m sure I sound unloving and judgmental but my opinions are based on years of seeing all this happening before my eyes . Tolkien allowed Gandalf to feel great compassion for a once learned friend he had once trusted, Saruman. Even at the last he wanted to give both him and Wormtongue a chance to repent. As I see more and more come under this miasma of ‘tolerance’ and double mindedness I find you can pretty much say anything to liberals and it doesn’t make a dent. I’m an ‘intolerant bigot or fanatic ‘at believing what even ten years ago almost EVERYONE held to be true. It’s important to have compassion but to avoid the gray wall from forming around you..the gray pall that Corrie ten Boom, the great Dutch evangelist saw around certain people or countries she flew over on her speaking tours.
And many ascribe the characteristics of unloving, uncharitable, and judgmental to God Himself, Dana. His crime? The Ten Commandments. Speaking the Truth about His own creation and the realities of cause and effect. As if God is being cruel in His design and giving us a heads-up to the consequences of not corresponding with said design on myriad levels…. even when He sent His own Son to suffer and die to demonstrate His love and the grotesque consequences of rejecting Him.
How mean. Just like our parents used to be back in the day. Mean indeed.
God bless!
If Bishop Gerald Barnes, head of the San Bernardino Diocese, supports and permits the VIOLATING of existing US Immigration Laws, his Diocese should become fully responsible for the ILLEGAL immigrants – permanently.
– including financially for housing, feeding, shelter, education in Catholic Diocese schools only, health care, etc.
and NOT EXPORT ILLEGALS to other parts of the Country with the help of the Obama Administration.
Put your OWN money where your mouth is liberal Bishop Barnes.
How many of these children are you going to bring to live in your home, Bishop, until they reach 18 and are financially able to support themselves.?
How many of these children is Deacon Sanchez going to bring to live in his own home until they reach 18 and are financially able to support themselves ?
Remember folks that Catholic Charities gets grant money from the CCHD, who gets grant money from the USCCB, who gets grant money from the Obama Administration.
It’s our tax dollars not merely the dollars of the Catholic Church.
Follow the money. – That’s what bureaucracies know and understand.
CCC: ” 1759 “An evil action cannot be justified by reference to a good intention” (cf. St. Thomas Aquinas, Dec. praec. 6). The end does not justify the means. ”
The USA needs to:
1) Secure our Borders against all ILLEGAL activities – including illegal immigration;
2) Treat law breakers as if in jail until deported (not create a comfortable environment);
3) Advertise in foreign Countries that ILLEGAL immigration is forbidden, and how to apply for LEGAL immigration.
The Catholic Church (including the USCCB and Diocese Bishops) needs to:
1) Quit taking money from the Federal Government;
2) Make Saving Souls a priority, rather than merely the temporal;
3) Stop doing the Laity’s job as defined in CCC #898,
and stay out of politics where prudential judgment is required;
4) Do not use Church property for illegal activities;
5) Start telling people to study the Bible and the ‘Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition’ – at home.
CCC: ” 898 By reason of their special vocation it belongs to the laity to seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and directing them according to God’s will. . . . It pertains to them in a special way so to illuminate and order all temporal things with which they are closely associated that these may always be effected and grow according to Christ and maybe to the glory of the Creator and Redeemer.” – – – – –
This is NOT the job of any Bishop, or Priest, or Deacon, or Nun.
Catholic Bishops sure are confused.
They do not seem to know the difference between the responsibilities of the Federal Government, and the responsibility of the Catholic Church to save Souls.
They should try reading the CCC sometime.
It must be all that money talking.
Our Catholic Church has become the fifth column in our country.
In 2010 until today, HHS has given millions to various dioceses to prepare for the planned dumping and institutionalizations of large groups of children and teens. 15 million dollars alone to Catholic Charities in Galveston Tx. In January of this year, there was a contract on Fed biz. Gov to bus unaccompanied minors throughout the USA.
Assisting the government with overwhelming our schools, hospitals and social services, while
Our Vets are dying in the VA system on purpose.
We have over 90 plus million unemployed
Disease will spread into the general population, already signs of this have occurred.
The black population unemployment has grown under this administration
General Petraus is calling for the North American Union-or open borders. No coincidence.
Obama wants 5 Billion to house, feed, educate the illegals.
Southwest Key, a group that warehouses the illegals, was given over 450,000 million of taxpayer monies to find the housing. at the recent meeting in Escondido, to get the general use permit to house kids in a vacated assisted living home(shouldn’t this facility be. Used for our Vets) the spokesperson said this was a short term situation. But we have found out that they were signing a 5 year lease with an option for 15 years. More lies….
There is blood on the Obama administrations hands as well as our Bishops hands who have been working behind our backs. There are estimates that almost 1/3 of the women and girls are raped. Many will end up trafficked. Others will be used as mules to move the drugs over the border that is wide open.
No one should support the USCCB or their CCHD, or Catholic Charities affliliated with this effort.
Let the Federal Government do their own job.
They made the mess (with the help of some Catholic Bishops), now let the Obama Administration clean it up themselves.
There really needs to be a Congressional Investigation on the financial relationship between the US Government, and the USCCB/CCHD and their Catholic Charities regarding ILLEGAL immigration.
And then the USCCB and some Bishops politicking for immigration reform after they helped to create the mess.
Something is rotten.
Pander or Perish = the ‘gospel’ of the Gaystapo & its big money “Allies”, which explains a lot about RINO$ too.
“Why Is Chase Bank Asking Invasive Questions of Employees?
“It’s shocking, frankly,” Rick Santorum said today of accusations that JPMorgan Chase asked employees about their sexual orientation and whether they consider themselves “allies” of the LGBT community.
“You would think that would be some violation,” Santorum told The Daily Signal in an interview after he spoke at The Heritage Foundation for the annual leadership summit of the Eagle Forum Collegians.
“It seems like there’s an element of intimidation in trying to shape people’s points of view, and maybe even have punishment for people who don’t share the ‘proper’ point of view,” the former Pennsylvania senator and Republican presidential candidate said. Watch the video for his full response.

No McDermott, this article is about ILLEGAL immigration and the Church in the USA being complicit.
(Stick to the topic for change. All you seem to write about is homosexuals.)
RONG – Mel…
The article is about using Children as Hostages in order to Force the agenda of POTUS Down Low Soetoro’s Abomination in to the Catholic Church, the better to help Destroy it from Within.
The Chase Bank is ostensibly about Banking (as the Church is about Catholicism) and yet under ObamAcorn Rules – the Gaystapo is allowed to vet the system and Force it to Pander BAMN – By Any Means Necessary – by inquiring about who their “Allies” are – and Are Not…
As the actions of the 900 Lb Mozilla Gaystapo Gorilla have shown, there are No Conscience Rights permitted when said Gaystapo is invited to supper – and as with the devil there is no spoon long enough to dine with evil and not be slimed by it.
Consider the following from the Cardinal Newman Society about the same type Hate Pogroms targeting Christian Colleges – and denial of access to those who fail to Pander to such Evil
“…The provost at Wheaton College defended the College against an attack by an Ivy League professor who alleged that religious colleges should lose their accreditation. The Supreme Court upheld a temporary injunction against enforcement of the HHS mandate for Wheaton College.
Of course, Mel is right. McDermott can’t help but see gays behind every thing on earth that he disagrees with, so he creates an incomprehensible web of made of connections to feed his delusions. I say this with the hope that he will recognize this in himself and get soem help.

ILLEGAL immigration supports drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and the splitting up of families.
Why are the Bishops promoting, encouraging, and exacerbating the ILLEGAL immigration problem by their supportive actions for ILLEGAL immigration?
To some people Federal Grant money speaks louder than God.
It keeps expensive bureaucracies in place.
There are not even enough jobs in the US for the people currently here.
Since the USCCB / CCHD / and Catholic Charities have been and are helping ILLEGALS break the law, that is one form of money laundering.
1) Obama Administration gives our tax dollars to the USCCB / CCHD / and Catholic Charities.
They collude to assist in breaking our immigration laws.
2) Then the USCCB makes public pronouncements that we should change our laws – after they have helped create / support the illegal mess.
(Hoping they will get more people to vote for the Party of Death – Democrats; and hoping they will get more Catholics contributing in their collection plates.)
Not one more penny to the USCCB, CCHD or Catholic Charities, as long as they are affiliated with Federal Government Grants.
The USCCB illegal activity is going to drive more people away from Christ’s Church.
They have no business encouraging and supporting ILLEGAL immigration.
I just read this news and it is very discouraging. I don’t mind helping those in need but we need to first help our own before we can help others. Its not right also to teach people that they can just come here and get everything for free without working for it. Its an insult to all hard working USA Americans!

Once again, the Church is making a deal with the devil, like when they supported Obama Care. That surely backfired on them. Now housing illegals and taking money for it from the devil. I hardly recognize my Church anymore. More pews will end up empty at Sunday Mass because of this.
I am exhausted from defending my Catholic faith, and will not give a dime more if this keeps going on.
Candice, give to support your own parish only – dedicate the money toward the electric bill or something.
No more to any USCCB collections such as CCHD or CRS, etc.
But then give to your local St. Vincent de Paul, or Church in Need, or Caritas International.
Take the Bishops entirely out of the money business.
It clouds their judgment.
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Mt 6:21).
Right now many Bishops are in bed with the Devil – the Obama Administration.
The same administration that supports intrinsic evils of: ABORTION, CONTRACEPTION, SODOMY MARRIAGE, etc, and is trying to take away our RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
The Federal Government made the mess; let the Federal Government fix the mess – without additional Catholic donations.
Catholic Bishops and Catholic Churches should not encourage the breaking of immigration laws.
The Bishops have their heads in the sand with the devil. On the Catholic radio Immaculate Heart, a Priest and 2 announcers even quoted from Scriptures, that what is happening with these illegals coming across our borders is wrong. We are allowed our Sovereignty We should feed, clothe and give medical attention. Then we must send them back to their Families. Our Church and government aren’t even taking care of their own American Citizens here at home! I will NO longer donate to Catholic Charities or my own Diocese of Oakland if the Bishops persist to commit sin. Most of these illegals are well dressed, not suffering from hunger etc.. just take a careful look at them all. FREEDOM is NOT FREE!
The US taxpayer already was supporting Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador this year with US aid in excess of $130 million, and that was increased in June by another $250 million: so I don’t comprehend PJT’S thesis that we are morally failing by not taking on the support of other nations’, particularly these 3’s, tens, and eventually, hundreds of thousands of youths. Second, this mass immigration program is going to turn out very badly for everyone: the enormous logistics, support, language, and many other problems are simply not being addressed. This is truly a crisis and there is no easy solution. We will be dealing with this for years, and it’s not going to be pretty
The Bishops will not get one cent of my money. They are destroying the church.
Wasn’t it P.T. Barnum who said “There’s one born every minute”?
He was SO right !
So, when your local parish priest asked for money, especially money that is going to go to the Archdiocese for the Annual Appeal, just tell him you have none to give the Church and TELL him to ask all of the illegals WHO HAVE STOLEN IT FROM US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, “Catholic” Charities is neither Catholic nor charity…
Similarly, this Catholic website is not Catholic.
If it adheres to the Bible and CCC in entirety, it is indeed Catholic.

Apparently Cardinal Sean O’Malley told the Pope it was racially motivated.
This is not the case.
Americans do NOT object to LEGAL immigration.
Americans DO object to ILLEGAL immigration – the breaking of our Laws.
We don’t care what race people are if they immigrate – Orderly and Legally only,

And Religions working for the Federal Government with our tax dollars.
Is it any wonder why they support ILLEGAL immigration?
