By Bradley Eli, M.Div., Ma.Th., ChurchMilitant - Prelates continually refuse to sanction Catholic pro-abortion politicians as required by Church law. They are, however, pondering the use of such penalties to punish Catholic government officials for enforcing previously established laws regarding illegal immigration... Regarding immigration policies, the Catechism of the Catholic Church in paragraph 2241 affirms, "Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions."... Faithful Catholics are upset by how most U.S. bishops won't obey Church law when it comes to abortion but are willing to wrongfully apply it on social justice issues like illegal immigration.
