Mind numbing slogans like “the future is dialogue” (+Zuppi) and “diversity is our strength” are what you say when you don’t want to do anything, or recognize, intractable social problems.

An illegal alien from Ethiopia "violated our Nation's immigration laws, abused our immigration system, and perverted the writ of habeas corpus. Unfortunately, the district court rewarded his efforts" and now he walks free. Judge Oldham, respecting dismissal of the case.
Hats off to the USCCB “faith before politics” campaign. Humbled to learn that I need to follow Jesus by supporting unconstitutional gun control measures.
I’m not personally clear e.g. on why the USCCB felt the need to file an amicus brief in a gun control case, but you won’t be surprised to hear it involves human dignity.
re: human dignity as the commerce clause of the church, every political question becomes a moral question when you claim it involves human dignity, thus placing it under the special competence of bishops and removing it from the domain of the laity.
What exactly is the remedy supposed to be for people who violated US immigration law, ignored a court’s final order of removal, and possibly made fraudulent statements when claiming asylum?

Someone who is not a citizen is in the country with a removal order, and they are working and raising a family and haven't committed any crimes unrelated to their immigration status. What should we do?
Nothing. We should do nothing.

+Eckman has wisely discerned not to go full +Cupich and show Catholics how he believes you should engage with politics. Platitudes all the way down.
Bishop Eckman of Pittsburgh: “For us as Catholics, the voting booth is not a place where we set our faith aside. The Gospel asks us to love God and to love our neighbor, and how we vote is one of the ways we carry that love into public life. So, I ask you not to vote out of habit, party loyalty, or self-interest alone. Ask instead which candidate will serve the good of everyone, especially those who have the least voice.”
We are this close to someone saying it violates human dignity to invite a person to believe in the Gospel.

LATEST: Cardinal Vesco says the Catholic Church is “not there to convert”
The Archbishop of Algiers said: “We are the Church of this people. Not a proselytising Church, not a Church that is there to convert, but a Church that aspires to be one of the components of this people.”
He called proselytism “poison” because it treats another person’s religion as false, and argued Christians should choose fraternity over seeing themselves as a “besieged fortress.”

USCCB MRS staffers see this and think the underlying problem is that long term residency isn’t handed out to all and sundry at the border.
Ya'll, this is nuts.
Hundreds - that's right, HUNDREDS - of armed robberies between 2022 and 2024 weren't real.
They were staged by the "victims" as part of a massive immigration fraud scheme to secure U-visas for themselves and their families.
