Sister Letty was walking to Sunday Mass at Our Lady of Sorrows when federal agents took her. Nearly nine in ten American dioceses depend on foreign-born clergy like her.
Both Bishop Robert Barron, and Cardinal Timothy Dolan seem to be siding with the Trump administration. They are very quiet on this and many other moral and ethical issues with the Trump administration. Their superior Pope Leo XIV has spoken. If they do not follow him, then they need to be chastised and action taken. They have a duty to follow and apply the gospel and love all in our human family. Ultimately they will answer for their errors and inaction.
Bishop Barron will be at the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island on August 9-11. It’s a celebration of our country’s 250th anniversary. Perhaps someone could ask him then, if you can afford to go.
It’s clear what happened, and why. It’s right there in the photograph. Grabbing non-white people for no reason except their skin color and demanding that they prove they are not “illegal,” & sometimes retaining them anyway after they show relevant documentation, is a central part of their Make America White Again project.
Of course Barron, Dolan, and Vance haven't commented. If they did they'd be exposing the truth about themselves. Not something they want the world to see.
It is a continuation of segregation and repression of America's history. It is the hatred of anyone who is not white. Long fought for rights are being lost and trodden on.
Arresting a nun is a despicable act by actors in a desperate effort to stay firmly fixed in empire rather than walk the open road Jesus set before us. Nuns...women religious are a group of dedicated people who walk this road daily. In doing so, they have helped build and protect the best of this country.
Utterly insane! If Homan was truly Catholic (or even a true leader), he would immediately fire those who grabbed her, and turn them over to local police for possible prosecution. Instead, these thugs will probably get bonuses and promotions.
Where are condemnations of this ICE Aktion from JD Vance, Kelsey Reinhardt and Brian Burch (now US Ambassador to the Vatican) and their CatholicVote (MAGA’s supposed Catholic site), and from other faux Catholics? Imagine if this happened under Obama, the Republicans would have gone ballistic. Expect crickets from the far right’s supposed Catholics!
I can‘t even imagine the mindset of a law enforcement officer seeing a little nun quietly walking down the street, and then stopping to grab her, take her rosary and put handcuffs on her. Was he two times or more her size? How many did it take to snatch her? Was she going to overpower the ICE agents in the vehicle? And no one thought to call the parish, or the hospital, and confirm she was truly a nun, and in the case of the hospital, inform them she was indeed a nun legally working in their hospital. Hearts of stone, I would guess! Not something I can understand at all!
I do understand the power of the Rosary, the agents feared it rightly. Prayer has peacefully brought down tyrants and their dictatorships, especially in Eastern Europe.
When the Church pursues single-issue voting strategies THIS is the flip side. Atonement is ACTION — visible and real support FROM the pulpit and IN the pews. There should be Know Your Rights red cards and trainings in EVERY Catholic parish. ASAP!

Actually, Ellis, I don't "like" your comment, but I fear you are right.
Always retaining them whether they’re citizens or immigrants and everyone in between… trying to do it the right way.
And she had her habit on !

Truly RACISM in Action!

You bet it is!
I'd like to say they should be ashamed of themselves, but they are born without shame and rewarded for their behavior.

Seems like the Trump regime is blatantly anti-Catholic. And let’s not forget that the nun was also appearing in public while having brown skin.
Perhaps that ICE agent thought she was taking away the job of a White nun ! Although Of course, they are not paid.

That must’ve been an interesting sight, the Sister in her habit being held in an ICE detention cell.

😡😠
Sure seems like the type of incidentsThe Rrligious Liberty Commission should be focusing on.
Any reaction from the non-Gospel “Catholic” Vance? This has to be just fine in his book because he really worships Thiel his maker and Thiel’s tool.
The Catholic Church in the USA is in the cross-hairs between the Vatican and Opus Dei!
Close down the fascist elements in our Church and save us from the six Catholics on the fascist Roberts Court installed by Opus Dei!
Justice is impossible with the fascist (Catholics) dishonoring their oath and their faith for GREED AND POWER!
