Pope: Rescinding DACA is not 'pro-life'

I’m generally a critic of Trump. In this case, I probably don’t know any more about it than the Pope does. It might be the case that DACA is not constitutional. It might be the case that Trump decided to force the hand of Congress to deal with it. It might be the case that Trump never fully intended to send DACA kids back to their counties of origin.

However, Trump’s Administration has proven once again that it’s completely inept at selling even the reasonable policies that he initiates. Instead of selling it to his shrinking core of support, (send 'em home! Get tough with scofflaws!), he should have gone all in on a massive charm offensive with the Democrats, progressives, and moderate Republicans.

In other words, DACA good or DACA bad, Trump lost the point yet again.

I agree with your main point but would ask you to refer to the pope by his chosen name. I disagree with a lot of what pope Francis has said and done but he deserves the respect of being addressed by the correct title. (in my opinion).
 
When will thinking humans stop reading/watching/listening to CNN? If not worse than, it is equal to Pravda and Izvestia as a propaganda arm of the left.

No, euthanasia/assisted suicide is equal in moral gravity to abortion. Both are the deliberate taking of innocent life and deliberate devaluation of a class of persons. They also scandalize a multitude of souls, leading many to perdition.
 
What do the Scriptures say about these days? “Men will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.” “There will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them.” “The love of many will wax cold.”

This is as it must be, but woe to them that lead others astray. The Lord is coming, and in righteousness doth He judge and make war. Maranatha!
 
I agree with your post. I pray for our Pope and I pray for his advisors. I have always felt that our Pope
does not get the full picture on many matters, especially those regarding the United States.

To accuse him of deliberately destroying the Church however goes against Christ’s promise that the Gates of Hell would not prevail against his Church, no?

the catholic church has had bad popes before and the church wasn’t destroyed. the Lord will keep his church until end times.

i am not casting a vote one way or the other on whether the pope is good or bad. that is above my pay grade.

Nice! I would rather laugh with you than fight with you. And yes, I meant my post as a joke, and only a joke. Good catch.
 
Same here, a good laugh feels better than the passive-aggressive remarks too often made around here. (that includes me)
 
We have been in the End Times since Pentecost, yet the Scriptures also tell us that such things will increase as the Day of the Lord approaches. It should be no surprise that we see such things happening in our midst, but the time of great distress is not yet at hand. When will He come? I do not know, but I am inclined to believe there are some people alive today who will see His return.
 
His faction was ridiculously overpowered in the expansion.
 
If it’s not a Pro-life issue, as at least one person here contended, it is an issue of human dignity.

The closest analogy to repealing DACA is American Slavery (confused with ancient and/or biblical slavery), which was called the Peculiar Institution, precisely because of the practice of ripping families apart by selling husband, wives, and children to different owners.

Either way, repealing DACA is just wrong, and Papa Francisco is on to something!
