Trump’s “Border Czar” tells Pope Francis to “stick to the Catholic Church” as pope slams mass portions

Rome – President Trump’s American “Border Czar” Tom Homan jumped on Tuesday at Pope Francis after the leader of the Catholic Church strongly criticized Mass portation of migrants that Mr. Trump has begun in his second period.

In an open letter to American Catholic bishops ,.

When asked Tuesday by a Fox News Reporter to comment on the Pope’s “Hard Words,” replied Homan: “I have hard words for the pope: I say this as a lifelong Catholic. He should focus on his work and leave enforcement for us .

Homan repeated this feeling to other journalists in the White House and said, “I wish he would stick to the Catholic Church and resolve it and leave border enforcement to us.”

In his letter to the bishops, Francis said he closely followed the “great crisis” in the United States, but that the “rightly formed conscience cannot fail to take a critical judgment and express his disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies it illegal status for some migrants with crime. “

Francis acknowledged that nations have the right to defend themselves against migrants who have committed crimes, but he said it was not incompatible with policies for orderly and legal migration.

Depesting of people who fled extreme poverty, uncertainty, exploitation, persecution or serious environmental degradation in their home countries, no matter how they enter the United States, “harms the dignity of many men and women and of whole families and place them in a state of particular vulnerability and Defenselessness, “the pope said.

“What is built on the basis of power, and not on the truth of every man’s equal dignity, begins badly and will end badly,” warned Francis.

The Pope, 88, has made the defense of migrants and refugees a priority of his papalousness since he was chosen to lead the Catholic Church in 2013. Still, a pontiff is rarely criticizing a country’s internal political debate.

The Pope also rejected Vice President JD Vances use of Catholic theology to justify immigration snack.

In a 29th of January performance at Fox News described Vance, which converted to Catholisism in 2019, what he said was “a very Christian concept: you love your family and then you love your neighbor and then you love your community, and then You love your fellow citizens in your own country.

When critics reacted that he had misunderstood the gospel, Vance went to social media to claim that a person’s moral duties to their own children outweigh them, “for a stranger who lives thousands of miles away.”

“Just Google ‘Ordo Amoris,’ wrote Vance, referring to a medieval Catholic concept of ‘the order of love’ or ‘order of charity’ to God, ourselves and our neighbors.

While he did not mention Dance directly, Pope Francis directly opposed the Vice President’s interpretation of Christian love in his Tuesday letter.

“Christian Love is not a concentric expansion of interests that gradually expands to other people and groups,” he wrote. “The true Ordo Amoris to be promoted is what we discover by constantly meditating in the parable of the ‘good Samaritan’, that is, by meditating the love that builds a fraternity open to everyone, without exception.”

Francis also urged Catholics and others to “not give in to tales that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering for our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters.”

He said that the laws and policies of all nations should be designed and considered, “in light of the person’s dignity and his or her fundamental rights and not vice versa.”

Pope and Mr. Trump has been with immigration in the past.

In February 2016, asked about Mr. Trump’s promise to build a border between the United States and Mexico, Francis said, “It’s not a Christian to build walls instead of bridges.”

In January, Francis called Mr. Trump’s plan To complete mass portrations of undocumented migrants a “shame.”

“It will be a disgrace,” he said in an interview with an Italian talk show, “because it gets the poor misery that has nothing to pay the bill … It won’t do! You don’t solve things this way.”
