  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on Sunday argued that its long-standing refugee program is a “work of mercy” after Vice President JD Vance criticized the bishops’ positions on immigration issues.

Vance had made the remarks during an interview on Sunday with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

Brennan had asked Vance, who is Catholic, about the USCCB’s criticism last week of the Trump administration’s various directives on immigration, specifically the government’s rescinding of the policy that restricted immigration arrests at “sensitive locations” such as churches.

Vance responded that “as a practicing Catholic” he was “heartbroken” by the bishops’ criticisms.

That's so muddled though. They work directly with organizations that aren't just taking in refugees but far worse people who shouldn't be admitted at all.

And really, does the Church give a damn at all about national sovereignty?

They believe in the sovereignty of Vatican City.
I will continue to keep all of the American Bishops, priests, deacons, and religious in my prayers. May God add to their number. I'm just being nice.
