Isaiah 58:7-10
Thus says the Lord:
Share your bread with the hungry,
and shelter the homeless poor,
clothe the man you see to be naked
and do not turn from your own kin.
Then will your light shine like the dawn
and your wound be quickly healed over.
Your integrity will go before you
and the glory of the Lord behind you.
Cry, and the Lord will answer;
call, and he will say, ‘I am here.’
If you do away with the yoke,
the clenched fist, the wicked word,
if you give your bread to the hungry,
and relief to the oppressed,
your light will rise in the darkness,
and your shadows become like noon.
LOVE!

Let every person be subordinate to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God.
Therefore, whoever resists authority opposes what God has appointed, and those who oppose it will bring judgment upon themselves.
Romans 13:1-2

19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
20 And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
21 Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.
23 And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:
24 And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
25 And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
LOVE!

So Obama was established by God? What does that have to do with these refugees?
Or are you saying that these children are going against God by trying to escape a horrible situation? This thread is getting more and more bizarre. I feel like the ancient aliens guy will pop in to tell us that aliens are involved somewhere.

Yes, they are, but all power is from God, so the lord in his providence permitted the success of their treason.

If America survived its destruction and ruin by way of the presidencies of Nixon, Reagan and George W. Bush then Obama is a walk in the park.

I agree that Nixon abandoned a war our troops had won; something my “boat person” buddy never understood. Probably a lot of people didn’t either, including soldiers who fought there.
But one has to admit that Reagan, along with JPII, Margaret Thatcher and Lech Walesa, ended the first or second worst tyranny in human history. Well, and Reagan did invent the Earned Income Credit. Nobody in either party has done anything for the poor since then, and that’s true.
George W. Bush did, I believe, make a mistake in Medicare Part D, “No Child Left Behind” and trying to “nation build” in Afghanistan. But he did appoint Roberts and Alito to the Supreme Court and refused to fund abortion and fetal stem cell research other than on already established lines. Well, and he restored the Mexico City Accord. He was right in going into Iraq. But Obama played Nixon on that one, and we see the results now.
I see that Iran is now going to “defend” Baghdad. The “Caliphate” empire builders vs the “Persian empire” builders. I knew that would eventually happen the moment Obama was elected.
One thing you can say about Reagan, Bush and Nixon is that they did not force orders of nuns to provide abortifacient coverage against conscience or pay huge fines they can’t pay. At least none of them was anti-Catholic. Obama, of course, is. Big difference there. If one is “in search of…” religion, one might not think that’s a problem, but I certainly do.

Ha! Well, you definitely gave me a good laugh for this afternoon!If America survived its destruction and ruin by way of the presidencies of Nixon, Reagan and George W. Bush then Obama is a walk in the park.
I am waiting to see what the final nail in our coffin will be for our country. Obama doesn’t have much time left.
These last 6 years have been anything but a walk in the park!
It has been living a nightmare that you can’t wake up from.

Romney and Palin were bit players the past 6 years. I guess blaming Bush gets old so now it is Romney and Palin.

Where is the logic in the right, the gun lobby,“stand your ground”, limiting voting rights to non-whites in the guise of documentation, putting the country’s credit rating at risk, being against bringing an Amerian soldier home…denying people medical coverage under a national plan…all because the agenda of the Republicans is to bring this president down? That is just lunacy…

I would think that when the Republicans are against any kind of comprehensive or even “'piece meal” solutions yes, they are responsible for this issue. It’s not saying the members of the Republican party, but their representatives in Washington…Cantor is a good example of double speak…supporting some form of immigration policy in order to win a presidential bid and then not supporting an immigration policy in order to win re-election…whaz up with that?

Wow, what a posting. Some of the Catholic commentary is unrecognizable giving me the impression that some of us are only as Catholic as far as our tax dollars and wallets allow. The United States is a very rich country, no reason that there cannot be a comprehensive plan with Latin American countries in Mexico to better the lives of children. The curse of the rich is exactly what is being visited upon the United States…and the solution is in the catechsim, in Scripture and in being our brother’s keeper.
I did not see too much reference to what Pope Francis has been calling for a more just economic system and true comprehensive caring for refugees.
The Republicans held hostage by the extreme views of the tea party are the problem, they have not found the middle ground with the Democrats and Obama to move the US forward…the United States is imploding and it is the ones who are obstructing government that must bare the greater responsibiltiy.

Where are you getting your information?
uch:Stand your ground laws simply mean you don’t have an obligation to retreat when you are legitimately put in fear for your life. These laws proved necessary as a response to people being convicted of murder for defending themselves from intruders in their own homes. It is also worth pointing out that stand your ground laws had nothing to do with the Zimmerman case; that was false reporting.
Requiring some form of photo ID to vote is standard in most nations and in the state of Louisiana you need an ID with your address, picture and signature. Even if you don’t have one all that means is that you will have affidavits to fill out and makes a lot more paperwork for the commissioners. This isn’t discrimination it is common sense; the only reason I can think of that the left is opposed to it is because it would make it more difficult for them to commit voter fraud.
Regarding putting our credit rating at risk, we have an administration and a party aligned with him that believes we can spend without limit or fear of repercussions. Why is it that when his political opponents don’t give him everything he wants it is them that need to compromise? He could stand to do do some compromise himself the reason he doesn’t though is because he has the media in his pocket to put the blame squarely on the shoulders of his opponents.
As far as “denying people medical coverage under a national plan”. Obamacare has failed miserably as a national insurance program. It is a farce. It was a bill laden with pretty much anything and everything any democrat at the time could think they might want and then called a healthcare bill. More people lost healthcare through it than gained it, and it was passed against the will of the people in such a fashion as required bribery and bizarre loopholes in legislative procedure.
I can’t recommend you get your news from Piers Morgan.

Yes. And who and what are supporting these criminal gangs? It couldn’t be the American citizens who are buying billions and billions of dollars of illegal drugs could it?

The Repubs aren’t the ones in charge of securing our borders or enforcing our laws. That is Obama’s job (and those under him). Repubs certainly share the blame for not finding a solution to the current mess that is our immigration policy, but the failure to implement our laws is not on their shoulders.
Cantor is a politician after all. Honesty and integrity aren’t their strong suits.
