[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious about how Catholics are thinking about the current position of the Pope, which is decidedly against the Trump administration's immigration policies.

If you're Catholic and opposed legal abortion because the Catholic church was against it (although the government obviously supported it), are you now opposing these immigration policies for the same reason?  And if not, how can you reconcile that with being Catholic? [/quote]

The irony is that the current Pope shares things in common with Trump as far as legal interpretation. Vatican has very strict laws about who can or cannot enter Vatican City. It doesn't allow anyone to take refuge there without permission and enforces criminal penalties. [/quote]

I'm not sure how that's relevant.  I've been to the Vatican, and calling it a city is a stretch.  It's more like a small campus.  Still, that has nothing to do with how Catholics are reconciling an explicit statement by the Pope that is in opposition to a government policy espoused largely by those claiming to be Christian.[/quote]
