How Should a Catholic Respond to the Border Wall?
As I write this, a battle is raging in America. Tump and most of the Right want to build a wall at our southern border. The Left doesn’t want the wall, and they claim any such wall would be immoral. But who’s right, from a Catholic perspective?
As a body in the USCCB, our bishops agree with the Left. They think a wall would be immoral too, and they are urging Catholics to fight its funding.
Here are a couple of facts:
Where do you stand on this issue? Should we build the wall, or shouldn’t we?
In this episode we talk about how the Catholic laity are obligated to view the wall on the basis of official Church teaching from the fourth and fifth Commandments. We also expose some startling facts about illegal immigration the mainstream media won’t talk about.
The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media GroupJoin our group where subscribers of The Cantankerous Catholic can meet to discuss the issues talked about in episodes, get opinions from other like minded people, or simply discuss anything effecting Catholics.
Don’t like or trust Facebook? No problem!
Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy doesn’t trust Facebook either. There have been too many instances of censorship on Facebook. If you promote abortion, LGBT issues, or anything anti-patriotic, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be unmolested by Facebook. But if you promote life, decency or morality, Facebook is subject to censor your posts, take down your page, or otherwise use some underhanded method to censor you.
TrumpTown.comWe’ve found an alternative to Facebook. It’s a new social media site called TrumpTown.com. Whether you like President Trump or not, this is the one social media that doesn’t censor you for upholding Catholic values and morals. You’re completely free to discuss and promote anything you want, just as long as it isn’t immoral, indecent, or anti-American. Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy has been critical of President Trump on a number of issues, as is the right of all Americans. TrumpTown.com has never molested him in any way, and they guarantee they won’t. The site otherwise works identically to Facebook. That is the reason Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy chose to host The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media Group there. We have the added benefit and protection of being a private group. So join the group now to meet other like minded Catholics.
Not a Catholic? We’d still love to have you join us. You’ll find that we’re a very welcoming people. (Matthew [25:35])
