His Holiness Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome, has instructed the American Bishops to get the various trash and right-wing "Catholics" (polytheistic LARPers who love Catholic aesthetics and nothing more) in line with Christ's teachings.
The Pope is rightly concerned with the dehumanizing program of deportations taking place in the United States:
I have followed closely the major crisis that is taking place in the United States with the initiation of a program of mass deportations.
His Holiness reminds us that
Jesus Christ, loving everyone with a universal love, educates us in the permanent recognition of the dignity of every human being, without exception.
Yes, this applies to refugees and immigrants too, even if they're "illegal:"
the most decisive value possessed by the human person surpasses and sustains every other juridical consideration that can be made to regulate life in society
Earthly laws follow fundamental rights and dignity, not the other way around:
Thus, all the Christian faithful and people of good will are called upon to consider the legitimacy of norms and public policies in the light of the dignity of the person and his or her fundamental rights, not vice versa.
Natural law commands us to take care of all people, especially the vulnerable and oppressed:
This is not a minor issue: an authentic rule of law is verified precisely in the dignified treatment that all people deserve, especially the poorest and most marginalized. The true common good is promoted when society and government, with creativity and strict respect for the rights of all — as I have affirmed on numerous occasions — welcomes, protects, promotes and integrates the most fragile, unprotected and vulnerable
His Holiness explicitly calls out the chud circle of caring chart. If you post that chart to try to own the libs, you are announcing your failure to follow Christ:
Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups. In other words: the human person is not a mere individual, relatively expansive, with some philanthropic feelings! The human person is a subject with dignity who, through the constitutive relationship with all, especially with the poorest, can gradually mature in his identity and vocation.
JD Vance, Catholic "Convert" and opportunistic LARPer, has weighed in on the concept of ordo amoris, a supposedly a hierarchical ordering of whom you are supposed to care about. The His Holiness Pope Francis would like you all to know that JD Vance is r-slurred:
The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the "Good Samaritan" (cf. Lk 10:25-37), that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.
He closes, asking us to live up to the example set by Jesus Christ, Son of God:
I exhort all the faithful of the Catholic Church, and all men and women of good will, not to give in to narratives that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters. With charity and clarity we are all called to live in solidarity and fraternity, to build bridges that bring us ever closer together, to avoid walls of ignominy and to learn to give our lives as Jesus Christ gave his for the salvation of all.
Reminder, if you are actually Catholic you must agree with the Pope. He speaks, literally, on behalf of Jesus Christ and Saint Peter. Various clout-seeking LARPers should stfu and make their own hateful religion.

love thy neighbor is when the government threatens you with prison so they can steal your money from you making you poorer and then giving it to low paid scab labor migrants that accept lower wages who will not unionize and who openly hate their hosts because they see them as gullible and weak r-slurs which they are and some libertarian hedge fund boss says from up in his mansion surrounded by literal walls and priceless artifacts that goymericans need an even lower standard of living because some dusty book homeless beard man on a stick says so lol.

There has to be a balance between 'Americans should hoard their wealth and buy as many drones and Italian suits and sports cars as possible' and 'Jesus said everyone in Africa should live in Europe and everyone in India should live in Canada and everyone in South America should live in America'.
Nixing USAID seems selfish. Expelling illegal immigrants seems... like what taxes are for.
If the Pope would like to lead by example, he can open Vatican City (currently a homogeneity purely comprising Catholic Europeans) up to as many migrants that can fit under its cathedral ceilings or awnings or benches. He can also get a job at Wendy's, and learn to get used to seeing 25% of his wages go toward policies that either don't affect him or lead to a palpable detriment.
If the Pope is reading this right now (using Google Translate, I imagine), I invite him to work a few of the last years of his geriatric life working in Bumfrick Kansas in an Amazon Warehouse, and trying to afford to make ends meet, while increased immigration forces his wages down further.
If at least for one iota of a second he isn't smiling or whistling as he plops s*x toys and butt cream onto the robot-controlled pallets, we can assume that we should naturally assume less from a worker who doesn't have the constitution of the literal Pope.
I can understand if the Pope begins every morning with some socialist speech about the immortality of the world's billionaires; but chiding Americans for not abiding these slights to their pride is insane. Demand better of the billionaires in charge; demand Mexicans and South American leadership (people who themselves are all Catholic) better their own societies, rather than tramp over very real governments' borders.
God I'm fricking seething at the Pope. What a fricking school marm. Yes, we should just all just be nicer and smile more when we eat shit. Darn oops why aren't all our laws just turn the other cheek shit guess we're all going to heck.
Frick off, Pope. Get off Google Translate and get a job.
