US bishops present united front on first day of general assembly

MGB:_With two Cardinals behind the Conferences immigration policy and none against, the member bishops are sure to fall in line. As for those in the pews who use the lack of an intrinic evil and prudential judgment argument, they would do so anyway, even though going against laborers, including migrants, is one of the four sins that cries to Heaven for Vengeance. To turn their families back home into orphans who cannot join them violates another such sin. Of course, in reality, that vegeance does not come from Heaven but from us. Helping these familie out and do well is the best revenge, especially if we can rescue them from those who bought them from coyotes and give them status because they were trafficked. We must be vigialent for any such instance and insist on the follow-thorugh.

That racism is getting attention is also good. Not a good day for the Donald.

The Amoris Letitia discussion today should prove interesting. It is said that Cardinal Burke does not consider it a magisterial document. Of course, it seems the Pope does not either, but it is still mandatory for pastoral purposes. The Pro-Life Activities Chair election is the big issue (unless someone brings up Mass translations, which the conference is suddenly responsible for again, yet no scheduled discussion). If Cupich wins, Trump may as well quit. We will know shortly.
