Have you ever been to a horse race?
I have...
Have you noticed that some horses wear "blinders" so that they cannot see the horse coming up alongside them?
This gives the lead horse "tunnel vision," so they can focus on what is directly ahead as they head to the finish line.
Apparently, many in the novus ordo, "synodal" hierarchy continue to wear those blinders when it comes to the legal actions of President Trump, but never once condemned the treasonous actions of Biden and his Marxist regime by keeping our borders wide open and allowing between 10-20 MILLION illegal aliens into our country.
(Some say the estimates are much higher!!)
In the following article, you will see and read the obvious hypocrisy of the so-called USCCB, calling upon the Trump administration to respect the "human dignity" of those millions of illegals -- some being the most brutal of killers and human traffickers!
But what about the human dignity -- and the salvation of the souls --of those many American young girls and women brutalized and murdered by gang and cartel members?
Nothing but silence from the so-called shepherds of the flock of Christ...
Sure, they mention that a country has a right to control its borders and protect its sovereignty, but then they put on those damn "blinders" and completely ignore the facts!!!!!!!
From the leftist rag, the Washington Post comes this from the USCCB: Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement and written by Michelle Boorstein...
"In a rare group statement, America’s Catholic bishops voted nearly unanimously Wednesday to condemn the Trump administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants as an attack on “God-given human dignity,” and advocated for “meaningful reform of our nation’s immigration laws.”
The new message listed the types of suffering the church leaders say many undocumented migrants experience, including “arbitrarily” losing their legal status, being subject to poor detention conditions, and being afraid to take children to school or go to church. “We feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity,” the bishops wrote.
Asked to respond to the bishops’ statement, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said: “President Trump was elected as the president of the United States based on the many promises he made to the American people, including his promise to deport criminal illegal aliens. He is keeping his promise to the American people.”
The message came a day after the bishops unveiled “You Are Not Alone,” a program that lays out ways for Catholics across the country to provide direct aid and solidarity to immigrants. Many individual bishops have in recent months called for the dignified treatment of immigrants, but the program was the USCCB’s first collective action this year.
The bishops’ moves come after months of escalation from the White House, as well as division among U.S. Catholics. Trump vowed mass deportations as a candidate, and 55 percent of U.S. Catholics voted for him, according to the Pew Research Center. Among Hispanic Catholics, who make up about one-third of all U.S. Catholics, 58 percent voted for Democrat Kamala Harris.
The Trump administration has deported 400,000 people this year and detained some 60,000 others, part of a crackdown on undocumented immigrants that has also swept up some who are in the country legally. Immigration enforcement officials have blocked priests from offering Communion to some incarcerated immigrants.
The message Wednesday was amended at the last minute by Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich, who said the bishops needed to be clear not just about what they supported but about what they oppose.
“How can we say to the people who are suffering that ‘We stand with you’ if we don’t say we are opposed to the indiscriminate deportation of people?” he asked the group.
Oscar Cantú, the Mexican American bishop of San Jose, told the group he wished the statement had gone further. In an email to The Washington Post, Cantú said that Cupich’s amendment did improve the statement and that “bishops are shepherds of souls and teachers of the faith. When we see assaults on human dignity, as we have been witnessing in this year’s deportation campaign, we need to speak with moral conviction. And thus, we needed a strong statement.”
On Wednesday evening, Cupich told The Post he hopes the actions during the meeting empower clergy and Catholics to study church teaching on the rights of immigrants — and nations — and to do more. “Catholics need to be sure they reflect from a perspective of faith rather than politics, and that’s hopefully something we can trigger,” he said.
J. Kevin Appleby, a senior fellow at the Center for Migration Studies, wrote to The Post that what’s needed is more action. “In the end it will take the faithful in the pews to stand up and oppose these deportation policies to eventually end them,” Appleby wrote.
Several bishops rose to praise the statement as a good balance between concern for immigrants as well as for the safety of law enforcement and the need for a “just and orderly” immigration system. “This rises above politics and partisanship,” said Cincinnati Bishop Robert G. Casey.
To some, the USCCB’s actions this week were a sign that the bishops have begun to stiffen their resolve to support immigrants, who represent one-third of the U.S. church, according to Pew Research; an additional 14 percent of Catholics are the children of immigrants. (Pew does not ask about immigration status.)
The new efforts may signal the impact of two consecutive popes who — more than their immediate predecessors, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II — emphasize poverty and migration as much as abortion and sexuality.
On Tuesday, the few hundred voting bishops at the meeting in Baltimore selected by a close margin Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, an experienced national administrator and a conservative, as their next president. They also picked Bishop Daniel Flores, of the Texas border diocese of Brownsville, known as extremely outspoken on behalf of immigrants, as vice president. Some church-watchers saw the election — and the rejection of other, more conservative bishops, including Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota, a Trump ally — as a sign that the conservative-leaning body is starting to move to the middle.
“Our immigrant brothers and sisters … are living in a deep state of fear,” El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz, who leads the bishops’ committee on migration, told the ballroom of clerics in announcing “You Are Not Alone.” “I’ve been heartened by the statements of solidarity of so many of you and others in recent months.,” he said. “Of course as pastors devoted to the Gospel, we know statements are not enough.”
The nationwide program has four purposes: to provide emergency support for immigrants; to support them with pastoral care; to communicate the breadth of Catholic teaching on immigration (countries have the right to control their borders, but humans have a right to migrate for better circumstances and immigrants should be treated with dignity); and to demonstrate public solidarity with them.
In the weeks leading up to the USCCB meeting, Catholic leaders and immigrant advocates grew louder in their demands that the church be more powerful, public and unified in its resistance.
“A key question is: Can the U.S. bishops meet the challenge of defending both Catholic teaching and the dignity of their immigrant parishioners — together, faithfully, pastorally, publicly, strongly and in unity with the first American pope? Will they take public action as a body and challenge the administration on what they are doing and how they are doing it?” asked John Carr, the USCCB’s former longtime public policy director on major domestic and international issues.
“This unyielding commitment to deporting people and curtailing legal immigration plus the unprecedented funding for immigration enforcement has created a situation unlike anything we have seen previously,” Seitz, who recently visited Leo to describe the conditions of migrants in the U.S., told the meeting. “We can’t abandon our advocacy for meaningful reform.”
Leo has been blunt — more so than the U.S. bishops — in his criticism of the Trump administration’s treatment of migrants. In late September he called the crackdown “inhuman,” and last week in impromptu comments to reporters in Italy he addressed a question about Trump’s immigration enforcement.
“Jesus says very clearly, at the end of the world, we’re going to be asked, you know, how did you receive the foreigner? Did you receive him and welcome him or not? And I think that there’s a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what’s happening,” said Leo, the first pope from the U.S."'
