Catholic Bishops Warn the Supreme Court That Trump Is Threatening the “Moral Foundations of American Society” (slate.com)

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops filed an extraordinary amicus brief on Thursday urging the Supreme Court to strike down President Donald Trump’s executive order abolishing birthright citizenship for the children of many immigrants. The conference, which represents active Catholic bishops in the United States, frequently supports conservative positions at the court: In the past, it has argued against same-sex marriage, transgender rights, LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination laws, reproductive freedom, restrictions on school prayer, and medical aid in dying. But the conference is staunchly opposed to Trump’s draconian immigration policies. And its brief in support of birthright citizenship is a searing, full-throated rebuke of the president’s executive order as an affront to the God-given equality of all people.

Well, I'd agree with that if the catholic church had ever, once, a single time in the past 40 years used that to describe something that was actually a threat and not as just another an excuse to hurt more people.

Pedophiles calling out other pedophiles for being amoral isn't the own that they think it is.
