My response to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, because they were cut from government funding, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” (Mark 12:17)
Meaning you work for God, not for your beloved government. “No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24)
I have no problem with the USCCB/Catholic Charities/other Catholic organizations providing humanitarian aid to illegal immigrants. The USCCB needs to answer many questions. In this article, there is a list of questions. It is not comprehensive by any means.
The line in the sand is: this “humanitarian aid” needs to be tempered by the staggering amount of taxpayer money that is already being spent. And does this “aid” include enabling illegals to stay hidden from law enforcement?
I personally would rather see more money being spent on our citizens. As a Christian, we treat these people with respect, but we should not by these good intentions, allow them to break the law, and cause them to commit a sin.
Good comments. The article addresses many of the concerns you raised and goes further.
