Lookee here! A genuinely Catholic US Bishop!
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington signaled Friday that Catholic teachings support President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement....
Cutting to the chase:
... “As principles of Catholic social teaching, human dignity and the common good must not be brought into conflict,” Burbidge continued. “As Catholics, we understand the common good as inclusive of the individual good of each and every member of society. We also understand that the rule of law is to defend and promote the common good. For this reason, I have confidence that comprehensive immigration reform need not harm the dignity of any person. Even when immigration reform includes repatriation of those persons who have committed violent crimes, or who otherwise violate the terms of a right to remain, human dignity can be respected. We must not presume a conflict between human dignity and the rule of law.”...
Right there +Burbidge demolished the Artful Dodger line used by "Catholic" Cardinals, Bishops, and the enormous pack of grifting bureaucrats at "Catholic" Charities. They've tried the old 'baffle them with bullshit' approach, conflating "human dignity" with "it's OK to break the law."
+Burbidge clarified that is is NOT OK.
Thank You!!
This is excellent.
ReplyDeleteWe all know causing someone to sin (say for example breaking a law) is not in their best interest.
