Catholic Archbishop Complains About Enforcement of U.S. Laws
On Dec 12, US federal authorities arrested 1300 illegal aliens at six meat-packing plants in the US.
In response, Denver Roman Archbishop Charles Chaput immediately fired off a letter condemning this enforcement of US law. Below are some quotes from His Grace, as reported in the Dec 13 issue of the Greeley, Colorado, Tribune, in an article titled, "Archbishop Says Raid Put Human Face on Flaws of Immigration System:"
"Dramatic, get-tough arrests of more and more average workers will not solve our immigration crisis."
Comment – Roman bishops don't like criminals that serve Catholic interests being arrested – be they illegal aliens, or pervert priests!
The bishop also lightened his letter with a little humour:
"As I've said many times in the past, the Church supports the law."
That's a hot one!!
And, he strangely said:
"But as Catholics, we also need to vigorously question the timing, manner and focus of these latest arrests. Staged on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and barely two weeks before Christmas..."
Does anyone in their right mind think US authorities took the Catholic liturgical calendar into account when planning these arrests???
Instead – as American bible-believing Protestants we "need to vigorously question" the loyalty of Catholics to the USA!!
Are you praying daily that God protect the USA from illegal immigration and – the Roman Catholic Church? If not, you need to start.
