I however do mind the Archdiocese giving financial aid to so many non Catholic children because their parents really do not want a religious education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-37761948710725085382011-09-28T20:27:16.485-04:002011-09-28T20:27:16.485-04:00I am not at all kidding.

Jesus, of course, exemplifies treating the marginalized and outcasts with respect and love. Was it not Jesus who ate with the tax collectors, spoke to prostitutes, and touched the lepers? I think it could be said that Jesus preferred interacting with the outcasts and the vulnerable in society (and it doesn't get much more outcast than tax collector, prositute, or leper). Are we not to follow His example?<br /><br />Breaking the law of God is a sin; breaking the law established by governments is sometimes sinful. There is a distinction. God did not bust out his globe and draw lines on a map establishing the borders of the United States of America. I do not believe that moving to America-even if the person circumvented the immigration system-is immoral. That is not to say I favor open borders; on the contrary, I support strong border enforcement (a fence would be nice), but I also believe that we have to treat the 12 million illegal immigrants in our country respectfully, lovingly, and humanely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-79160310691675935162011-09-28T17:06:34.374-04:002011-09-28T17:06:34.374-04:00If you can't win taxpayer breaks for those who...<i>If you can't win taxpayer breaks for those who send their children to Catholic schools...</i><br /><br />You are still subsidizing illegals since the Archdiocese of Washington Catholis schools all accept illegals and all make then fully eligible for financial aid.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687197922675722032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-78003957683148357402011-09-28T15:02:11.198-04:002011-09-28T15:02:11.198-04:00Poor yes, but not all and I'm sure they prefer...Poor yes, but not all and I'm sure they prefer it to life at home but outcast and marginalized?

Now maybe I'm wrong, but I think the poor, the marginailzed and outcast children are still in Latin America or Africa (Sudan, Somalia, Haiti come to mind) with their law abiding parents. My scarce dollars will go to feed, clothe and house them -- i.e. not one more dime to the homosexual country club--and that's who this law will ultimately support which is why they are for it. <br /><br />What is the moral position of a priest to a law breaker? Isn't breaking the law a sin? How do you make restitution while continuing to live in sin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-45709159813016462202011-09-27T18:45:30.270-04:002011-09-27T18:45:30.270-04:00Gasp!
