The debate is still going on, to build a border fence or not. Kind of puts a new thought to the saying "What would Jesus do?"
Over at The Ratzinger Fan Club website, there's a synopsis of the internet debate between fellow Catholics ( Cafeteria Closed, American Papist & Evangelical Catholicism) as well as others chiming in over building the Mexican border fence.
What's a Catholic to think. Should we build it or not? Does it go against Catholic teachings on charity? Is there a limit to our love of Neighbor? Does National Security weigh in on this issue?
A good discussion and lots of prayer is a must.
Stuff I ponder late at night when everyone is asleep:
- Lot, while stuck in Sodom and Gomorrah offered up his daughters to save the heaven sent visitors that took refuge in his house. Could I do the same?
- Jesus tells us to give our shirt when we have already given up our coat...
- If I error by allowing a criminal into the country thinking he is a hungry homeless immigrant and he causes harm maybe even death...possibly my own
...and
If I turn away a hungry homeless immigrant who really is hungry and homeless, who I think is a terrorist...
How will God judge me?
Thank you for noting the "fellow Catholics" part. I think our blogs lost sight of that fact amid the chaos and critiques.
ReplyDeleteYou actually make it look so easy with your performance but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never comprehend. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it! Building security camera installation
