NonilexDuring an in-flight press conference covering a range of topics, #PopeLeo also called for #Europe & #NorthAmerica to be “a little less fearful” when it comes to #immigrants of different faiths. Asked about #Catholics who see #Islam as a “threat” to #Christianity in Europe, Leo said he is aware of people’s fears, but said they are often “generated by people who are against #immigration & trying to keep out people who may be from another #country, another #religion, another #race.”
LilMikeSF#DHS moves to cut off #Texas #CatholicCharities of #RioGrande Valley for at least 6 years over border #migrant grant ‘misconduct’ by extending assistance to migrants beyond 45 day rule. Finger pointing specifically targets head Nun Sister Norma Pimentel who was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people back in 2020 and had been praised by Democrat political leadership in past for efforts serving struggling migrants.
#RWNJ commentators invited to froth on #FoxNews charge #Catholics and other #NGOs as responsible for #border drug & sex trafficking as well as fostering #terrorism.
Luke in WindsorI feel, and have always felt quite lucky to have been born in #Canada . My family chose to move from #Scotland to #Ireland to here, though I’m not sure if it was for a better life or just to get away from the #Catholics. #lol

Joshua McNeill#PopeLeo's recent statements against #Trump's #immigration policies had me wondering about how #Popes impact the views of #conservative #Catholics when there's a conflict between #religious and #political positions. Landrum & Vasquez's (2020) literature review of conservative Catholic views after #PopeFrancis's #climatechange position was announced suggest that they simply deny the credibility of the Pope. So, apparently, #politics comes before #science and #God?
Cupich, who leads an archdiocese including about 2 million #Catholics, said the #Church's teachings about helping #immigrants cannot be disregarded.
"This is not some abstract value that people who say they are #Christian can easily ignore," said the cardinal. "No, this is the kind of moral imperative that is tested in the here and now."

Sure you're going crazy with #Halloween shenanigans and candy, but for you #Catholics - tomorrow is a Holy Day of Obligation!
