My recent Note to the USCCB: The silence of US Bishops in response to the US military using weapons of war against a boat in international waters, not near the US borders and not a military threat, is disheartening. I have talked to several parishioners who say that they are okay with the killing of whoever was in that boat because the government said they were smuggling drugs, even though there is no evidence of drug smuggling. AND EVEN IF they WERE drug smuggling, people do not deserve death by the government with the largest military on earth. A PERCEIVED threat does not give the US military the RIGHT to determine who should live or die. The flock is being led astray by the leadership of an amoral US regime. I beseech those with the moral duty as Good Shepard, to face the wolf that would consume the souls of your flock, with the truth on how our loving Savior, Jesus Christ would be most likely to respond. I believe that He would be flipping over some tables!
Blessings of fortitude in these challenging times!
As a career state government and federal government executive , I personally am deeply troubled by the apparent “culture “ being promulgated within ICE wherein field staff , masked to hide their identity and often unwilling to identify their agency authority , are acting like the East German Stasi in scooping up immigrants of color without documentation , most of whom are hard working and looking after families, and who have not been convicted of crimes. It is so sad , unAmerican , unjust , unChristian , and deeply harmful to our country , our economy , our world wide reputation . All this to further the vengeance and moral emptiness of a multiply convicted felon ,and too often enabled by Roman Catholic Federal Supreme Court Justices and numerous elected US Congress members , some Governors, and the right wing . Immoral. Wrong. shameful.
People will often make themselves the hero of the story (or job) they're involved in, even if the story is a tragedy. They see the end result of the work they're doing as being good for society. That's how they justify it. That it's hypocritical to their faith & the teachings of Jesus, becomes eroded in their justifications. That they're receiving a living income for it only reinforces & complicates the matter. It's a sad situation.

I don't believe anything the regime tells me! Murder is never okay!😥
The instinct of justice in the human heart is so deep that, even in great deeds of injustice, the villains wear the mantle of justice.
Trust in God’s sovereignty.
His way are not our ways.
Keep the Faith.

Bishops…keep speaking out!!!
This feels like an anchor in the waves of evangelical Trump fervor. Lord, have mercy.
SUCH AN IMPORTANT STANCE TO TAKE! TREATING IMMIGRANTS AS CRIMINALS IS IMMORAL!!
