By Thomas V. Mirus, Catholic Culture - But if bishops will not speak in terms basically accurate to the situation at hand, if they will not take seriously the civilizational crisis of mass immigration, then their statements will be ignored by those they should most wish to influence: those who are rightly taking decisive steps, but still need the Church’s guidance that they may not do evil to achieve good, but rather perfect justice with charity. Such a failure of the spiritual power to influence the temporal would be a shame to our Church and an impoverishment to our country.
