What do your parents think the Bible tells us about how to treat vulnerable people including strangers in our land?

The Catholics?? They are at least as guilty as Trump of doing all sorts of horrible things. Remember the "Indian schools"?

The Catholic Church has a long and rightfully proud history of supporting immigrants and providing for those in need. Now, whether the current Catholic Bishops have the guts to call out Trump and Catholics in his Admininistration is a different story.

Yeah -- The Catholics, like all religions, have a history of doing both good and bad things. Like people in general.

They have and continue to call him out on his anti-Christian policies.

Have the Bishops threatened to withhold communion from any MAGA Catholic that favor aggressive actions against immigrants, or that favor the death penalty? Please let me know if I have missed something.

When criminals bust into your home at night looking for your daughters, do you respectfully show them the way?

Sorry, dumbass. The vast majority of immigrants, whether legal or not, are not criminals. A few are of course, and they should be deported or imprisoned, or both, asap.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has now weighed in on the matter.

People here have a hard time differentiating between opinion and fact, they also think their opinion is the “correct” opinion.

As an Episcopalian, I take issue with dismissing the Rt Rev Mariann Edgar Budde“s homily as “just one lady’s opinion”.

Apart from the sexist undertones, Bishop Budde serves as spiritual leader for 88 Episcopal congregations and 10 Episcopal schools in the District of Columbia and four Maryland counties. She also serves as the chair and president of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, which oversees the ministries of the Washington National Cathedral and Cathedral schools.

Many Episcopalians in our diocese have expressed gratitude that she represented our collective values well and spoke humbly about the need for mercy for those who are likely to suffer greatly under the current administration.

There will certainly be some Episcopalians (cradle Episcopalians and more conservative leaning) but I have only heard appreciation for her both from the pulpit and from other parishioners.

She is extremely disciplined, learned and humble in her faith walk. She has a passion for social justice and showing God’s love to all. Her opinion cannot seriously be dismissed so flippantly.

She spoke for many of us.

I wonder how old your parents are. I know people like this exist within the Episcopalian church. I'm hoping that they are dying out and will not be replaced by younger people.

My in laws are in their 80s and are liberal Episcopalians. That PP is talking about the Anglicans - google Falls Church if you want to know the real story. Anglicans are not real Episcopalians.

And it's different in America than it is in other countries. US Anglicans have a Bishop in another country.

None of this is relevant to the fact that it’s still just one lady’s opinion.

You just happen to agree with it.

Your casual dismissal of her opinion is both sexist and disrespectful. She is not just any lady but the spiritual leader of a large diocese and the Washington National Cathedral. She has enormous credibility and gravitas.

It is disgraceful that the president who touts his Christian faith asked for an apology from a religious leader who merely asked him to show mercy towards non -criminal immigrants and GLBTQ+ people.

And Trump's actions reflect one guy's opinion -- a guy who has a lot of power right now. I wonder if pp is a christian and if they disagree with the Bishop's request for mercy.
