Il Papa

Unless wrongly reported, the Pope has publicly stated the US should take in the illegal immigrant children for "humanitarian" reasons, should "welcome" them.  Now apparently the Pope stuck his foot in his mouth a week or so earlier over pedophilia among priests, claiming that 10% (I think) of priests abused children.  But this isn't about that, only that maybe the Pope might want to think before speaking--or at least consult some others.

The Pope would have a little more credibility, at least morally, about "humanitarian" and "welcome" if he ordered or at least urged his Church--officials and members of the Catholic Church--to offer to house and feed the illegals.  Why doesn't he take the pulpit and ask Catholics to open the doors to their homes, to "welcome" the illegals for "humanitarian" reasons, to the illegals?  I wonder how many Catholics would obey the urgings of their Pope.  Hmmm......  Well, consider how many Catholics support abortion, gay marriage, etc.  (I'm not stating my positions here, that's not the point.  For the record, though, I oppose abortions and do not oppose gay marriages.)

How many Catholic churches have opened their parishes to the illegals?  To be sure, I really don't know.  It might be quite a few; it might be zero.  Still, if Il Papa has opined, infallibility or not.....

And, I'm not sure if accurate, but a least one report is out there that one of the illegals, detained but released awaiting future reporting back, has kidnapped and murdered in Texas (?).  In light of the federal threats to border agents, doctors, other personnel dealing with the illegals against revealing any information, is it illogical to wonder if this is not the only trouble, that there is a cover-up?
