About friggin time. The Catholic Church has been moving to the dark side for years. Pretty soon, both the English and Latin mass will be Spanglish or worse.

The Archbishop mentioned in the headline is Abp. Timothy Dolan. (since snip carnage removed his name from the lede) He's the Cardinal Archbishop of New York, and had a term as head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He has some authority, but some odor of politics has rubbed off on him in recent years.

Catholic Charities are the worst servants of the Deep State. The FBI reciprocates by infiltrating traditional parishes in Los Angeles, Virginia and Seattle hated by Papa Francisco.

Oh stop. Catholics are not against migration. But are against illegal border crossings. Obey the laws of GOD And the laws of man. Think you’re going to hop the fence to get into heaven. Have to obey the laws. Then you get in. Even Frankie has to. Same in any country on the face of the earth.

Another example of an unelected "leader" participating in a well organized, well funded anti-citizen scheme to disenfranchise US citizens. Does anyone not understand the ultimate goal of flooding the US with new arrivals is all about wealth and politicial power redistribution? Biden TOLD us he intended to import poverty into the US before the election, yet he got more votes than any presidential candidate in history? How does that make sense? It doesn't. Americans are in no mood to be "talked out" of standing up for their own families and their own national interest. We are not "allowed" to run our own affairs, and ELECTED politicians who try are smeared as "bigots." The American people like electing their own leaders and running their own country. I have no doubt there will be a turnout at the 2024 polls unlike any time in our history, not because WE are the problem, but because too many special interests have been allowed to interfere in our elections, lie to us, mislead us, and now they're trying to replace us. Enough is enough.

His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, has always been more the politician than the prelete. I am surprised that nowhere in this article (perhaps I missed it), and nowhere in the comments that follow (though that is not their fault), is there any mention that Catholic Charities and other religious NGO's have received millions and millions of dollars from our goverment, and they continue to receive millions and millions of dollars from our government, even as Cardinal Dolan speaks, to facilitate the invasion of millions of illegals into our country. You might say that Catholic Charities, and other faith-based organizations that have been involved in this work for years, are rather like travel agencies for illegals. Along with his sermonizing about attending to the needs of the immigrant, the Cardinal should also reflect upon the amounts of drugs that are coming into this country with the invasion at our southern border. I read that the use of the drug fentanyl is one of biggest cause of deaths in the United States, in the 18 to 40 year old age group. Does he realize that human trafficking (including child trafficking) has an open door at our southern border, and how many women are raped in the trip up trying to find a better life? I think I read awhile back that a Catholic family willed a beautiful home and property to the church for a retirement residence for priests (think it even had an olympic-size pool in it). Dolan kept the home for himself (though, perhaps I misread that). Dolan does not care about the immigrant; he only just cares about himself.

Chances are a principle backstory that caused Biden, who claims to be a devout Catholic to institute his "Open Borders" policies that amount to an utter failure to effectively administer and enforce the US Immigration laws that Biden took an oath to administer and enforce, is the current socialist Pope's public teaching to the affect that all the developed countries of the world, especially Europe and the USA, maintain open borders so that the populations of the Third World that amount to billions of impoverished and uneducated peoples, known as irregular migrants can enter into whatever developed country that they desire in unlimited numbers, regardless of a country's immigration laws, and make better lives for themselves and their families. It would be interesting to know if Biden has talked directly with the Pope about those issues and in return received the Pope's blessing.

Sadly in every church, the office of Bishop is just like General, a political appointment with more ambition than skill or faith. It is a rare Godly man with no ambition who is a bishop now. I have had the great blessing to meet a few. As for the Bishop of Rome, he is fleecing his flock not protecting it.

Once again, the Catholic Church is telling America what to do about immigration. Once again, the Catholic Church is saying nothing about the governments of the countries the immigrants are coming from. Go lecture them on why their countries are such a mess.

Remember the current socialist Pope is not to be considered to be infallible when he takes a political stance outside of Catholic religious doctrine. When the Pope takes a public political stance that unlimited numbers of irregular migrants (illegal aliens) must be allowed to enter the developed countries of Europe and the USA, regardless of those countries in place immigration laws using the bogus excuse that those laws are “broken”, in unlimited numbers, to make better lives for themselves and their families. There is nothing in Catholic religious doctrine that says the church must advocate or support what amounts to mass uncontrolled illegal immigration that earns untold millions of dollars for criminal human and illicit narcotics traffickers.

I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year even though, as 2023 draws to a close, it seems that “the whole world is festering in unhappy souls,” to quote the brilliant Tom Lehrer.
