Months before officials in New York City allowed migrants to displace students in public schools, or officials in Chicago turned O’Hare International Airport into a refugee center, the former general counsel for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services made a frightening prediction about illegal immigration.
“This is going to be a catastrophe for our health-care system, our criminal justice system, our educational system,” Elizabeth Yore said in December. “We’re not going to recognize our society in two years. The crime and the chaos in the schools is going to be unimaginable. We are going to be paying for this for decades, generations.”
The fact that Yore, a conservative Catholic, made that criticism holds more than casual significance — especially since the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops effectively supports open borders.
As FrontPage Magazine twice reported, the USCCB uses taxpayer dollars to fund its human trafficking campaign, thereby enriching that body. But the payment it exacts for exploiting poor Latin American migrants exceeds the monetary.
The bishops use immigration as a weapon to implement Pope Francis’ globalist vision, which demands the eradication of national identity and legitimate national self-interest. That explains the bishops’ vehement opposition to President Donald Trump and their failure to forge a united front against Joe Biden, one of Francis’ favorites.
It also explains the bishops’ breathtaking silence on such crimes as child trafficking, sex trafficking and drug trafficking, and the prelates’ refusal to defend innocent Americans of all ethnicities against crimes perpetrated by illegal immigrants — including murder, as the “Angel Families” can attest.
Finally, it explains the bishops’ opposition to controlling illegal immigration through such means as “a tripling of Border Patrol agents, especially at ports of entry, and the use of sophisticated technology such as ground sensors, surveillance cameras, heat-detecting scopes, and reinforced fencing,” as a joint pastoral letter from American and Mexican bishops stated in 2003.
“That such measures might, in fact, deter or detect individuals trafficking children, the bishops ignored,” Marjorie Murphy Campbell, a Catholic lawyer, wrote for The Christian Review, a website founded by the former publisher of a conservative Catholic magazine, Crisis.
But Francis is no outlier. His globalist agenda reflects six decades of papal policy, as FrontPage Magazine often reported. Starting with the Second Vatican Council, which lasted from 1962-65, Catholic leaders began advocating radically egalitarian and utopian solutions to besetting world problems. Implementing those solutions demanded globalist reorganization, preferably under one supranational body that would hold nations accountable.
Encyclicals from Popes John XXIII, Paul VI and Benedict XVI refined that policy. In 1963, John, who convened the council, used his encyclical Pacem in Terris to advocate creating an international “public authority with power, organization and means” that operates in “a world-wide sphere of activity” to devise and impose policy, he wrote. “Consequently, the moral order itself demands the establishment of some such general form of public authority.”
In 1967, Pope Paul VI reinforced that appeal in his encyclical, Populorum Progressio.
“Such international collaboration among the nations of the world certainly calls for institutions that will promote, coordinate and direct it, until a new juridical order is firmly established and fully ratified,” Paul wrote before quoting his own address to the United Nations. “’Who can fail to see the need and importance of thus gradually coming to the establishment of a world authority capable of taking effective action on the juridical and political planes?'”
In 2009, Benedict offered the most detailed approach, as FrontPage reported upon his death. In Caritas in Veritate, he advocated replacing the UN with “a true world political authority” to secure “the common good” by regulating national economies, diplomacy and international law. It would have power “to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties,” he wrote, “so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth.”
Such an agency, Benedict continued, would “manage the global economy to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration.” Protecting the environment would involve “a worldwide redistribution of energy resources.” (Emphasis added)
Francis built on that foundation with two encyclicals of his own: Laudato Si on environmental sustainability and Fratelli Tutti on economic redistribution. In 2019, Francis expressed the papal commitment to globalism when the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences met:
“The nation-state cannot be considered as an absolute. In the current situation of globalization, the nation-state is no longer able to procure on its own the common good of its populations. The common good has become global and nations must affiliate themselves for their own benefit. When a supranatural common good is clearly identified, it necessitates a specific, legally and concordantly constituted authority capable of facilitating its fulfillment.” (Emphasis added)
In March 2021, during an interview to promote his book, God and the World to Come, Francis said that a “new world order” must emerge from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic:
“Let us all keep in mind that there is something worse than this crisis: the drama of wasting it. Instead, we can heal injustice by building a new world order based on solidarity, studying innovative methods to eradicate bullying, poverty and corruption, all working together, each for their own part, without delegating and passing the buck.” (Emphasis added)
That November, Francis reiterated that call to the Paris Peace Forum:
“Faced with the consequences of the great storm that has shaken the world, our conscience therefore calls us … not to follow the easy path of returning to a ‘normality’ marked by injustice, but to accept the challenge of assuming the crisis as ‘a concrete opportunity for conversion, transformation, to rethink our lifestyle and our economic and social systems.’ “
Unfettered immigration serves the globalist agenda by eroding national law, identity and culture. Europe provides the prime example. Francis encourages millions of Middle Eastern Muslims to migrate there, regardless of problems concerning assimilation, yet never encourages them to become Christians.
As Francis’ apostolic representatives in the United States, the bishops engage in two tactics to promote his interests.
Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez represents the velvet glove. Gomez, born in Mexico, addressed the Catholic Napa Institute in 2011, the year he became archbishop, on immigration’s role in American culture.
After acknowledging and praising the pivotal role Calvinist immigrants to New England and the Founding Fathers played in forging the nation’s identity, Gomez directed attention to Spanish colonization in Florida and California.
“It is the story not of colonial settlement and political and economic opportunity,” Gomez said. “It is the story of exploration and evangelization. This story is not Anglo-Protestant but Hispanic-Catholic. It is centered, not in New England but in Nueva España — New Spain — at opposite corners of the continent.”
By forgetting “our country’s roots in the Hispanic-Catholic mission to the new world,” Gomez continued, “we end up with an idea that Americans are descended from only white Europeans and that our culture is based only on the individualism, work ethic and rule of law that we inherited from our Anglo-Protestant forebears.”
Gomez then disregards the rule of law by ignoring the illegal status of many immigrants and focusing on their potential.
“These immigrants — no matter how they came here — are people of energy and aspiration,” he said. “This is why I believe our immigrant brothers and sisters are the key to American renewal. And we all know that America is in need of renewal — economic and political, but also spiritual, moral and cultural renewal. I believe these men and women who are coming to this country will bring a new, youthful entrepreneurial spirit of hard work to our economy. I also believe they will help renew the soul of America.” (Emphasis added)
Catholics, of course, have their own pivotal role to play.
“Catholics need to lead our country to a new spirit of empathy,” Gomez said. “We need to help our brothers and sisters to start seeing the strangers among us for who they truly are — and not according to political or ideological categories or definitions rooted in our own fears.”
The second tactic is the iron fist, which San Diego Cardinal Robert McElroy represents. In 2017, while still a bishop, McElroy encouraged his audience to act as “disruptors” by encouraging disobedience to immigration law.
“We must disrupt those who would seek to send troops into our streets to deport the undocumented, to rip mothers and fathers from their families,” he said. “We must disrupt those who portray refugees as enemies, rather than our brothers and sisters in terrible need.”
McElroy’s inflammatory rhetoric not only imitates the “resistance” narrative Trump’s enemies embraced. It silently equates American immigration authorities to Gestapo agents seeking Jews.
In August 2022, McElroy received his reward when Francis made him a cardinal.
But rhetoric means nothing without action. As FrontPage reported, an investigation from the Heritage Foundation discovered that Catholic Charities linked almost 3,400 separate mobile phones to anonymous contacts in 433 of the nation’s 435 Congressional districts. The investigation also traced 22,000 cell phones from all NGOs to 431 districts.
“Of the 52 congressional districts with the highest density of devices,” the foundation reported, “71 percent were Republican congressional districts.”
By supporting and profiting from illegal immigration, the bishops not only have declared war against their countrymen. By trying to implement Francis’ agenda, the bishops essentially act as agents of a hostile foreign government.
Maureen Mullarkey, a conservative Catholic commentator, powerfully summarized the significance of their position.
“By admonishing voters to ‘humanize globalization,’ the bishops position themselves in the vanguard of a globalist world freed from competing national aims and interests,” she wrote. “To a clerical elite impatient for the withering away of the national state, an open border is the staging ground for assault on citizenship and national sovereignty.”
Not for nothing does Mullarkey call the USCCB “a fifth column in cope and chasuble.”
‘Open borders’ is an oxymoron. You either have borders, or you are open to all and sundry. My home country – Australia- is, thankfully, an island continent. Anyone who wants to come here has to come by boat or plane, they cannot simply walk in. The downside is that our coastline is vast and our population so small (around 26m) that it would be almost impossible to defend it Our northern coastline which is closest to neighboring countries like Indonesia, is rugged and almost indefensible. As it is, our stupid leftist government is wanting to increase our immigration even though we are struggling to provide houses for those already here.
Joseph,
Hear, Hear!
Remember East Timor? The same people want to go to Australia. And do the same thing to you.
The useful Idiots from the Build Bridges not Walls crowd of useful Idiots
Britain is also an island nation.
Look what the politicians have done here to destroy it.
“Lethal”,
I agree. Which came first, the American citizen or taxpayer? I gave a hint. Lol
Our enemies had determined (since before the American Revolution was won) that our so-called constitutional republican form of governmental experiment must not be allowed to exist. We can stop scratching our heads daily now.
Lethal:
Once illegal immigration really takes hold of a nation, then it becomes too late to save that country. As for Australia, there may still be enough time to save your country. It is too late to save America. According to the 2020 U.S. census, America is only 57% European white. When the 2030 census is taken, European whites will fall just below 50%. By 2040, America will be a third world country. Of course, a nuclear war would change those numbers.
David Attenborough in an interview on channel 4 with John Snow before covid stated all people from Africa far east Afghanistan ect , would travel to the northern hemisphere , asked result he said civil war , he attends Davos
Are they aware that many of those coming in illegally could be Pagans or Atheists/Indelfels? or Commies who are total secularists? They has better beware of the Barbarians at the Gate
They don’t care, they are helping to create the “globalist reorganization, preferably under one supranational body that would hold nations accountable.”
That’s called the UN. Defund it now!
The United States is a nation of self-governing people that is an absolute – absolutely better than a global government that replaces nation states by self-anointment for the purpose of plunder.
Just look at that photo. Look at all the scientists, doctors, engineers, and lawyers climbing over the fence to come to America. Remember, Biden says that diversity is America’s strength. Now, in case Biden is wrong and most of the migrants goes on welfare, I hope he send the bill to the Vatican for payment.
Its not just in the US / Mexico border , it’s here in Europe too as the sinister Globalists recognise that illegal mass migration is de facto Globalism in action and irriversable . It has been engineered to specifically dilute and weaken the character of the nation state
Here in the UK up to a THOUSAND illegal migtants gate crash our borders daily and our moronic government uses the coast guard etc to ”escort” them to our shores instead of sending them back to France . Then instead of putting them in prison for illegal entry they reward these feral lawbreakers with free hotels , food and even spending money ..ITS UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE
The fact is that Globalists are like communists of old who have infiltrated our governments as a Fifth Column and are determined to push through their sinister agenda ; they think Globalism is inevitable, like they thought communism was inevitable , but they are wrong on both counts
The UN is the head of the beast. It, and only it, have created chaos all over the world just so they can achieve equity.
Defund the UN now!
And kick them out of the United States, by force.
Catholic Charities = Enablers of evil or sure… Along with Lutheran Immigration services
Catholic church was assassinated by traitors at Vatican II. All real Catholics are in traditional churches celebrating the true Mass from before the 1950s.
Thanks for saying that, Ron…evil has successfully infiltrated the church, and like the rest of the world governments, it’s now run by globalists intent on destroying the original Christian faith…I’m sickened by what the papacy has become, but the reality is that it has been this way for a long time, (it became all about politics and money instead of spreading the word of God and sharing in the Eucharist)….the Central and south American seminaries became communist breeding grounds and now here we are…sad state of affairs!
America’s survival depends upon enacting the policies regarding illegal immigration Venezuala employed during the OPEC haydays of the seventies.
There, troops demanded cedulas [ citizenship ID] of everyone they saw. Those who could not produce one were gone before evening the next day.
All accomplished administratively and immediately. Court rooms, supplications for judicial intervention, were not available to noncitzens. Period.
We have 50 million illegals and zero time to waste.
Yes, absolutely the answer! They have no standing breaking into the Country by not entering ports of entry with legal documents! Remove them immediately, including officials in this Republic that have sworn an oath to the Constitution to uphold the laws of this Republic and fail to do it!
Please review the hypertext command italizing cedula .
Thank you. It probably lacks a backslash.
Insert it, if you would. I hate Android.
I posted the request for correction while it was in suspended moderation.
I am not an idiot. I only portray one on frontpage.
Team Chimpanzee was usable to comply.
The Catholic leaders want more illegal immigrants into the US as many are Hispanic and support the Catholic church. Therefore the church leaders want higher wages for the illegals so they can give more money to the already super rich Vatican.
Your remark is not exactly fair, but it isn’t wrong either. Catholicism began (after the Council of Nicaea) as the first truely international government in Europe. It remains a faith based on authority, compliance, and punishment for dissent, and continues to regard itself as the “True Faith”. This despite a very checkered history of child abuse, money laundering, witch burning, and other less-than-holy practices. Read David Yallop’s “In God’s Name” or Paul L. Williams’ “Operation Gladio”. BTW, a survivor of 12 years of Catholic education here.
The problem with that thinking is that Latin Americans are leaving the Catholic Church in droves for evangelical and Pentecostal Protestant churches. Given that conservative Protestantism is far more developed in the United States than anywhere else, who’s to say the same thing won’t happen here?
Besides, I don’t believe the bishops actually give a rip whether Catholic immigrants remain Catholic or go elsewhere. Many of those same bishops don’t really know or believe the fundamentals of Christian doctrine, let alone especially Catholic aspects. For them, it’s not about the faith or the people. It’s about the money and the power.
No, the Catholic churches desperately need replacements for the new generation of Americans that have been indoctrinated into atheistic communism, just as the World Economic Forum needs to replace Americans with third world peasants that never heard of the Bill of Rights.
Given that most of the bishops in the United States have been so indoctrinated, what makes you think these Latin American Catholics would stay in the church? They’ll probably run to conservative Protestant churches the way, Usain Bolt ran during the 100 m dash in the Olympics.
The question ” is the pope Catholic” now has a new meaning.
About four years ago I attended Christmas mass at a Catholic church just north of Seattle. I would estimate that 60-70% of the attendees were immigrants (mostly Hispanic, with a few East Africans) and that most arrived here within the last 20 years. The Catholic Church in the USA is trying to bolster its shrinking numbers via immigration.
When I moved to this suburb in the early 80s, it was probably 80% white and was a swing district politically. Now, due to mass immigration, it is probably about 50-55% white and solidly Democrat. Pramila Jayapal is my rep in Congress.
They are putting up Virgen of Guadelupe images in Catholic Churches all over the former USA for the new Spanish Mass attendees.
Sadly, with the American Catholic Church, simply follow the money. They along with many other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) make money “helping” illegals. Once the illegals are situated in a community, they discard them and look for more. Then the local communities are told its their obligation to help or face criticism for being unwelcoming. Pure emotion, pure BS.
What is the definition of an NGO?
The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.
Those jihadists of ISIS , al Qaeda and most recently the Taliban are entering in the United States to inflect mas murder on the American people because of President pretender Biden
Biden with his wrecking as in ruining the safety and security of the US citizens by his destroying the US/Mexican secure and safe borders.
Some horrible information came out about dangerous jihad-minded operatives of the hostile Islamic regime of Iran crossing into America through porous borders is band enough . What more, it had been discovered that Taliban jihadists are now entering America through porous US/Americans borders since that “No secure border policy” of Joe Biden and his leftist’s political comrades are totally disaster for many reasons.
It was also discovered that twenty – three Muslim terrorists just captured crossing the Mexican/US border that really be a wakeup call. Before that, a jihadist who was captured who had originally come from Saudi Arabia, earlier yet; two Iranian jihad operatives had also been captured, and now the Taliban.
Therefore, there is a great need for a good for a good border control system with a strong tall wall that’s patrolled by armed American military soldiers who may be allowed to use their guns if they deem it necessary. Along with a good filtering system to let in to the United States only good decent hard working people with visas and not and not jihadists as of ISIS and Al Qaeda and gangsters as those of MS-13.
In result of Biden’s porous borders policy will that he will have the blood of many good, decent American citizens across the United States on his wicked vile hands.
Joe Biden is an abomination and an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a calamity for America and a disaster for the American people.
As for the specific subject of the US/Mexican borders, the “measure” of Biden is an outright catastrophe.
You’re it. Perfectly.
The radical left and the catholic church, a match made in hell, I had not realized it was this bad that they really were on the same page wanting a world order and an end to nationalism. It explains a lot of the division we are up against and why more people are apparently not objecting to the chaos and destruction from open boarders. But not all Catholics are in support of the Pope. Perhaps another reformation is on the horizon.
This communist Pope comes out of the Liberation Theology of 1980’s Latin American revolutions.
The Catholic Church has twisted Jesus’ message to “love one another”
into “love one another by living under a one-world government for the
common good”. Who is going to administer this global governance?
A legion of angels? No, it will be ordinary people with just as much
sin and propensity for evil as anybody else.
Corruption and Communism loom – where a central authority dictates
how the underlings will think and behave – if they know what’s good
for them. Because the world is on the brink of a cashless, digital and
rigid control over every human life. Social credits will be the new
currency earned only if you comply with the communist dictates.
And life without social credits to secure life’s necessities will be a
living death.
Jesus’ familiar teachings have not become trite and discardable.
Examined by the modern mind with its understanding of science,
they are as deep and applicable as ever to modern life – and what
the Church should be teaching to lead us back to God. Instead of
their sham caring of illegal migrants whom they use to lead us to
communist hell.
One more time
they are not immigrants they are invaders
Globalism is fall apart. This migrant invasion is just the last effort to revive it..
The Question at this Point is this. Is there a way to force an American President to keep the borders closed with an Amendment to the US. Constitution?
the antichrist will have the pope as his VP . the book of daniel and revelation confirms it .
Maybe not as a V.P. but as a false prophet. Francis might not be *the* False Prophet of Revelation but he certainly serves as an imitation, if not a precursor.
