I am sure Spanish is fine in Church, now two of those news stories left were about Jeb Bush and his speaking Spanish, I don’t think there is anything wrong with saying “I’d prefer Jeb was speaking Spanish” which is the way I remember it.
Neither would anyone who understands the concept of papal infallibility expect the pope to be “infallible in his words” (i.e., in his random utterances).
Well we do have documents from our Bishops that abortion is the most important issue for Catholics when voting…
Actually I do see Pope Francis as admonishing liberals also in the interview. Maybe not as directly but… he talked about someone who wants walls is not a Christian attitude. He then he goes on to talk about the evil of abortion and reinforcing the teaching of Jesus against so called homosexual marriage. Those are walls against life and family. So we can infer from that statement that those who go against those teachings of Jesus as not being Christian.
I’d hardly suggest that Hungary be viewed as a model in terms of how it views different races, ethnicities, and religions. Its current and ongoing struggle with antisemitism is nothing short of horrifying. Do we really want to fashion ourselves in the likeness of a country with a capital that boasts a 50% rate of antisemitism? Does this really speak of a people who are espousing Christian attitudes toward those often seen as “the other”?
Hungary (IIRC) built a wall. The number of attempted incursions into Hungary went from hundreds to a handful. Over night.
Okay, but ministry, Spanish or otherwise, extends to more than just what’s “in Church.” Just saying.
I can speak Spanish, I’ve probably known hundreds of Hispanics who can speak English.
I don’t think we are ready for one world order, without borders. Focusing on legal immigration is a valid national concern, and it can be done yet still treat people with dignity
I believe that’s fully in line with the pope’s remarks.
Quite a statement from a Catholic. This issue has political, moral, and faith aspects. Yet, despite the Pope speaking about the moral and faith aspects, you side with a non-Catholic businessman.
So now everything is the fault of Trump and his supporters. Got it!
How about statements made in the last two elections? We have an anti Catholic, pro contraception, pro abortion, redefining marriage, supporter of the Planned Parenthood that you’ve seen in the latest videos government. Helped to be put in place by a fair amount of ‘catholics’.
I hope you are being facetious.

Maybe the US should buy Mexico and be done with it.
Hello Jim… hello queenofhearts,
I agree, sadly. The very fact that so many Catholics do not seem to understand what the Vicar of Christ is, that is amazing and painful. Pope Francis is a successor to Peter, who was appointed directly by Christ–which in turn means the Pope is part of a direct line back to our Lord. He is the Pastor over the entire universal church on earth, and he holds the Keys to the Kingdom. Yet, regarding an issue that covers politics, morals and faith, many Catholics are siding with a businessman over the Vicar of Christ.I agree - but I don’t think this outburst will affect votes in any direction for anyone. I think a Catholic or any kind of Christian has a moral responsibility to oppose Trump. Ditto a good pagan. His goal is to deconstruct the GOP establishment, whatever that is - a nonviolent revolution, really, at least that is the pitch to the natives. Except for when he gets there, he’ll deal with everyone, including the liberals. My guess is he will be mindblowingly ‘establishment.’ Mitt Romney territory.
I am resigned to waiting it out - until we watch the blowback from his betrayed supporters, and also remember late night TV will be hilarious when he is in office - silver linings are out there to the cloud. I just hope we don’t get nuked under him…
I agree. So? That just proves how “not” Catholic those catholics are/were.
