Deep In A Catholic Bubble

 ... a leftist, Catholic bubble, that is.

This twerp has hit the news lately, fussing about the United States enforcing its laws.

Just in case you didn't want to click on the "more" button, and I don't know why you would, here is the full text of the post, giving even more vapid commentary from that airhead.

The U.S. Catholic Church feels it has to speak out on President Trump's immigration policies, "which we see as going against some of the basic tenants of our faith, frankly — the fundamental right of every human person that need to be respected, no matter their origin, no matter their situation," says Bishop Mark Seitz, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' committee on migration. Seitz also says Pope Francis "certainly is paying attention" to the administration's actions.

Of no particular importance to the bishop are the interests of black Chicagoans. Respecting them isn't really his concern.

One of my favorite Thomas Sowell quotes seems to be utterly foreign to the good bishop.

Life In A Bubble

I don't see how you can come to any other conclusion than that the bishop and his bemitred cronies have no idea at all that trade-offs even exist when it comes to the illegals. Every one of these interviews that I've seen with the progs that dominate our cadre of bishops reveals a complete illiteracy when it comes to the legitimate concerns of American citizens. You can see that in the way the USCCB got mercilessly dragged in the replies to this post.

Here are just a handful of the replies that raise reasonable objections.

Where was the concern when the bishops of these countries from which these illegals came had no impact on the exodus?  Where was the concern with the USCCB about rapes and trafficking of these individuals by drug gangs and criminals enriching themselves?

---------

Do you care about the grave danger of making the trip to get here? How about the vulnerability of the 300,000+ kids who are missing. This appeal to emotion is played out. Send them home.

---------

Stop gaslighting us. That is emotional and psychological ABUSE.

Catholic teaching DOES NOT require adherence to a political party’s solution to a problem, and it is a MORTAL SIN to pass rash judgment on a person’s intentions the way +Seitz does here. Just because we do not agree with how the Democratic Party wants to handle the migrant crisis DOES NOT mean that we dehumanize migrants. Stop this or we will #defundusccb and fulfill our obligation to support the Church through worthier causes. 

---------

Any Catholic who supports open borders, including the pope, is complicit with the rapes, human trafficking, drug importation, enrichment of drug gangs, criminal and terrorist infiltration and deprivation of Americans of well paying jobs. PF is a hypocrite: (includes X post describing how the Vatican is cracking down on illegals attempting to enter Vatican City)

---------

What about our families? The non-criminal ones?

---------

I've heard NOTHING from these guys over the 350,000 missing children & raped/murdered women. I have heard about blank checks for money laundering where the money is being kicked back to govt helpers. As the Catholic NGO there said, "we no longer regard ourselves as "catholic"

It goes on and on and on in the replies. No response from the USCCB has been forthcoming and there's no reason to think one will ever come.

Then there's this.

Just think, the USCCB gets both the moral orgasm of "helping the less fortunate" and a massive tranche of sweet, sweet cash. It's a win-win!

Just on its face, it sure looks to me like the bishops have surrounded themselves with people who think just like they do. It's worth noting that the airhead from CBS in the top video doesn't raise any of these issues so he, too, must be living in a progressive bubble.

In short, every person needs to be respected and treated with dignity except for Americans who need to shut up, open their wallets and stop being bigots.

Bonus Data Point

Catholic Charities of Louisville, KY wanted to get in on the payouts and so they did.
