CWN Editor's Note: In a 216-5 vote at their fall meeting in Baltimore, the US bishops approved a rare special pastoral message on immigration.
The bishops stated, “To our immigrant brothers and sisters, we stand with you in your suffering, since, when one member suffers, all suffer (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:26). You are not alone!”
“We oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people,” the bishops added. “We pray for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence, whether directed at immigrants or at law enforcement. We pray that the Lord may guide the leaders of our nation, and we are grateful for past and present opportunities to dialogue with public and elected officials.”

Sounds like Democrat talking points. Mass deportation is a a valid response to illegal mass immigration. I have lost all faith in the USCCB.

Indiscriminate means done at random or without careful consideration or judgment. That is not what the Trump administration is doing. And for the USCCB to vote 216 to 5 that that is happening is a clear signal to me that the USCCB wishes me not to contribute to any Catholic cause or organization other than my local parish. The Bishops Annual appeal? CRS? Adios, and thank you all for guiding me to the proper place to direct my almsgiving. Nothing indiscriminate about that, I assure you.
