To me this anti religion. Look at the millions of illegal immigrants Biden and Obama expelled. They didn’t do it this way. They expelled the bad guys.

The thing was, they did it quietly, and without all the hoop blonde fanfare that Trump wants from his anti-Brown supporters!!. And it’s not only brown people that are bad! My mom raised me to know there’s good and bad in every race it doesn’t matter the color of your skin!!

Our Spanish mass is at noon. I have wondered if ICE will show up at some time. Tom Homan may claim to be Catholic but Satan has gotten to him. He will have to answer to God for his behaviors.

I didn’t know how he can claim to be a practicing Catholic while treating immigrants as he and the administration do. It goes against everything that is taught at Mass.

Catholics voted overwhelmingly for Trump because abortion was their only issue. They may not have realized it, but they voted for this racist cruelty.

Homan, Leavitt, Vance are all fallen Catholics.

To Hell with them, God. You know how! Call on St Michael, he knows how too! 🗡️

Yes, I believe in calling on St. Michael for guidance and help. However, cursing someone, any one, even if we know they are failing their neighbors, is a sin. Jesus gave us one of the most difficult commands; pray for your enemies.

It’s symbolic, Ann. I am not advocating public execution though some may actually deserve it.

I am afraid I saw this coming as soon as pope Leo started emphasizing the humanity of Christ’s Gospel of mercy, compassion, and universal love, with specific references to what is going on here.

The Evangelical gospel of hate has always targeted Catholicism.

“At Letters from Leo, we are part of this effort too — committed to shining a light on these injustices and standing up for Catholics against the MAGA agenda that seeks to intimidate our faith communities.

In the face of fear, we draw strength from our faith’s core teachings of justice, love, and solidarity.

We will not be silenced or cowed at the church door.

Our message to those in power is simple: Our faith is not a crime, and we will continue to worship and welcome the stranger without apology.”

Amen.

Here, we rest in heart of Christ, in the love of, and in the power of, the Holy Spirit.

A direct violation of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion and speech. Trump should be in prison for this alone, along with his border tzar. His hate knows no bounds

If the Pope really wanted to defend the parishioners he should excommunicate the head of Border Security
