Good Question. Thanks for posting it.

Answer 2

Shameless

Answer 3

The church should not. This is not a case for the Church as this does not go against Gods laws as in the bible. This Church is wrong and this Women is wrong in asking.

Answer 4

Exactly what I have been saying
No it should not. But it can not interfere with The Dept. of Immigration. This one has really stuck its foot down it's throat this time because now folks are phoning the pastor and asking if they can come, too.
The pastor gulps as he tells them "This is a small church"
Perhaps if the churches want them so badly then they could foot the bill for all of them.

Answer 5

So, what's the difference?

Many in the Church support George Bush. He has broke 26 constitutional laws, misused the American military by lying about his reasons for a hostile takeover and occupation of a foreign country (and the deaths of 100's of thousands of Iraqi's as well as over 3,000 of our boys) soley for the intent of procuring the country's oil PROFITS, and severly diminished our civil liberties and rights through the passing of the Patriot Act, though he had sworn to protect and uphold the constitution, and told us that it was TERRORISTS that threatened our liberties. Clinton cheating on his wife was worse?

Hey...it's our Christian duty NOT to judge...and to help the disadvantaged. While yes, they broke the law, they obviously did so because they're poor. It's not a violent act, and I believe the MORE illegal act was to HIRE them. Blame the BOSSES. It would also be a crime to punish the poor who are only coming here for survival...not harm. There are much worse things going on in our country, and this is nothing but political deflection. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL, and stop being distracted by these political games.

Answer 6

They should not be supporting criminals, but since God forgives with repentance, they are sort of in the forgiving business.

That is lovely, but is not to interfere with civil law.

Also, the Catholic Church lost a lot of support in this country with all of the child molestation cases. They see an 'open border' as a way to increase their flock and standing again, I'm sure.

The Catholic Church's stance is that our us of a, with it concepts of freedom and due to our wealth.. the U. S. has an criminal duty to allow for the LAWFUL immigration of persons who're searching for a extra advantageous life. people who immigrate would desire to additionally obey the guidelines of the land. CCC 2241 "The extra wealthy international locations are obliged, to the quantity they are able, to welcome the foreigner in seek of the protection and the skill of livelihood which he can't discover in his us of a of beginning. Public government would desire to be sure to it that the organic good is respected that locations a customer below the secure practices of people who acquire him. Political government, for the sake of the trouble-free stable for which they are in charge, would make the workout of the spectacular to immigrate subject to distinctive juridical circumstances, somewhat with regard to the immigrants' responsibilities in direction of their us of a of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to comprehend with gratitude the fabric and non secular history of the country that gets them, to obey its rules and to assist in wearing civic burdens." The diocese of l. a. have been given in subject with the media and politicians whilst it interpreted a bill which became into being seen in the California Senate to declare that if all people gave an unlawful immigrant nutrients or water, then they may well be arrested. The Cardinal of l. a. adversarial the bill on humanitarian grounds and steered his clergymen and nuns to nevertheless help ravenous and dehydrated unlawful immigrants. the author of the bill later stated that the regulation became into no longer designed to place human beings in penal complex yet to oppose prepared criminals who help and abed illegals. yet, different then rendering humanitarian help.. the Catholic church's respectable coverage in accordance to its own catechism is to comprehend the guidelines of the land.
