The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV has called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.

Rev. Michael Pham, who was named bishop of San Diego, California, by Pope Leo in May, wrote a letter about the action on Wednesday, along with Rev. Felipe Pulido and Rev. Ramón Bejarano, both appointed by the previous pontiff, Pope Francis.

"On the morning of June 20th, which is International Refugee Day, a group of priests and faith leaders are planning to visit the federal court building to stand in solidarity with migrants who are making their court appearances," they wrote.
while not likely to change the outcome of most individual hearings, it is a 'show' of faith-support on International Refugee Day and might influence more of the church's members to see the immigrants in a kinder light.

Hope that includes the 6 Catholics on the SCOTUS.

It's pretty much the same as in his first term, and did not seem to lose him the religious vote before.

I, for one, am glad to see those claiming to be religious leaders in the Christian church actually stepping up and showing what true christianity's supposed to look like. It may be enough to make those who have forgotten remember; it may also spur a wider split between Catholics and other "christian" denominations.

Is Romanism Christianity?
 

Leviticus 19:18 – “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself”​


"You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD."

Because phony MAGAts pick and choose which Bible verse they want to follow. Flip it right back at them.
 
What exactly does 'stand by' mean? Pay their bills? Feed them? Give them rides to the airport? Sounds like one of those liberal dark forces, like empathy, that doesn't actually do anything but makes them feel better about not doing anything. :)

That is still preferable to rounding them up and sending them to concentration camps, jackass.

You really are a disgusting human being, do you realize that?

I'll "stand by" you all day and you tell me if it helps. :)
 
You've seen pictures of them, we all have.

No I haven't. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to where they are so I can see if I can find some of these pictures you claim to have seen.
