"The choices we make now, in our parishes, our communities and our public life, will reveal whether we truly believe what we proclaim.

If we say every person is made in the image of God, then we cannot remain silent when that dignity is denied. If we say families are sacred, then we cannot look away when they are torn apart. If we say the Gospel still speaks to our world, then we must allow it to speak through us."

"Liam isn’t the only child or even the only 5-year-old jailed where he is now. Lawyer Eric Lee, who saw detainees with ashen faces when he went inside the Dilley, Texas detention center last week, told me his clients are dealing with bugs and dirt in their food, putrid water mixed with baby formula, and denial of medical care."

"What do Foursquare Church leaders think of how the Department of Homeland Security, under Noem’s leadership, is terrorizing immigrants, children, and others in cities across the country?

What do Foursquare Church leaders think of federal agents, under Noem’s chain of command, executing Renee Good and Alex Pretti in the streets of Minneapolis?"

"A year after she asked Trump to have mercy on immigrants during a service after his inauguration, Bishop Mariann Budde told CNN she 'could not have even imagined how terrible the enforcement of this new immigration stance would be. The very things that I said that we feared has come to pass, It’s the fulfillment of our worst suspicions.'”

This moment will test the moral imagination of our country and our church."

Catholic Church's prophetic voice on immigration must rise above the noise of fear

The church insists that a person's dignity is established by the Creator. The choices Catholics make now, in our parishes, our communities and our public life, will reveal whether we truly believe what we proclaim.

"What do Foursquare Church leaders think of Noem’s lies about Good, Pretti, and how the two were killed?

The short answer is we don’t know. Unlike many other denominations, the Foursquare Church hasn’t issued a statement in response to the federal violence in Minneapolis or the immigration actions across the country in recent months."
