"Thats an absurd question. The Church doesnt bar anyone from Communion for a civil infraction like overstaying a visa. But if someone knowingly and deliberately evades immigration law to deceive or defraud thats a moral sin of injustice (CCC 2409 2483) and requires repentance and making things right before receiving the Eucharist. Its not about paperwork its about intent and integrity before God. As the church teaches severity is the standard not opportunism "

"Good Lord. Its troubling to see you disregard/distort Church teaching on immigration. For some its become more about agenda driven government funding streams than the Gospel leading to serious distortion of our mission. CCC 2241 Political authorities for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions especially with regard to the immigrants duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives"

"We could certainly be more discerning about who we allow inside the Church and affirm that it is first and foremost a house of worship. We know how Jesus felt about actions that violated His Fathers house overturning the tables of the money changers. While St. Peters also functions as a museum perhaps it should be treated more as a sacred space prioritizing reverence and worship over mere display"

"Good Lord. Even reading only CCC 2266 the broader context supports the death penalty. CCC 22632265 Scripture (Genesis 9:6; Romans 13:14) and the Church Fathers (St. Augustine St. Thomas Aquinas) affirm its moral legitimacy. Paragraph 2266 is a prudential judgment for modern circumstances not a binding doctrinal change so stopping there does not mislead. I urge you to prayerfully reflect on CCC XXX. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ. It does not matter what you or I think but what God requires"

"2/ Scripture affirms the legitimacy of the death penalty: Genesis 9:6 commands that Whoever sheds the blood of man by man shall his blood be shed Exodus 21:1214 prescribes capital punishment for murder and Romans 13:14 teaches that civil authorities bear the sword to execute justice. The Church Fathers also support it: St. Augustine (The City of God 1.21) and St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae II-II Q64 A2) defend it as protecting the common good. The Catechism (CCC 2266) now teaches that the death penalty is inadmissible in modern circumstances reflecting a prudential judgment meaning it"

"CCC 675: The Churchs Ultimate Trial Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh"

"Bishop Fulton Sheen warned that the Antichrist will establish a counterfeit Church that mimics the true Church in all external aspects rituals structure and authority but is empty of divine truth and grace. This aligns with CCC 675677 which teach that before Christs Second Coming the Church will face a final trial marked by deception persecution and a pseudo-messianic figure offering false solutions. Sheens vision illustrates the Catechisms warning of a mystical body of the Antichrist designed to appear legitimate while leading people away from God emphasizing the need for vigilance and"

"Good Lord: Its not a misunderstanding of the faith. The Church teaches that legitimate authority is necessary for the common good (CCC 1897) and that citizens must respect just laws (CCC 2240). Deliberately evading immigration law through deceit violates justice and truth (CCC 2409 2483). This isnt glorifying the modern State but affirming the moral duty to obey lawful authority and act with integrity"

"But standing in solidarity does not mean disregarding moral law or condoning sin. The Churchs teaching balances charity with justice: we must care for the poor and suffering but always in a way that respects truth moral responsibility and the common good (CCC 22422243 2447). True solidarity is rooted in love that calls others to conversion not in unchecked permissiveness. We serve both the spiritual and temporal needs of the neighbor guiding them toward holiness while addressing material needs. Charity without truth risks fostering dependency or moral compromise; charity with truth sanctifies"

"Communion is bread for the sinner. That statement is misleading. Communion is indeed for sinners but it is not given indiscriminately. CCC 1385 makes it clear: anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before approaching the Eucharist. Communion is not a free pass to remain in sin; it is a sacred nourishment for those who seek to be made holy. It presumes repentance and a proper disposition. Receiving it without repentance would be sacrilegious as X Corinthians 11:2729 warns: Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be"

"The Vatican recognizes that SSPX bishops are validly ordained because they were consecrated by bishops in apostolic succession using the correct form and matter. This means that their sacraments (like ordinations confirmations) are considered valid. Pope Francis granted faculty for SSPX priests to hear confessions during the COVID-19 pandemic and extended it permanently in 2019 showing a trend toward reconciliation"

"There is a spiritual clown here and its you. Unity with Rome is indeed essential but communion does not mean silence in the face of confusion. St. Paul publicly corrected St. Peter when he stood condemned (Galatians 2:11) out of fidelity to truth not rebellion. The Fathers taught that authentic unity flows from truth not from blind conformity. Submitting dubia or petitions is not factionalism it is a legitimate act within the Church to seek clarity when pastoral practice risks contradicting doctrine. True fidelity to Rome includes defending what Rome has always taught not redefining it to"

"Magisterial teachings fully support what Ive posted. The Catechism (CCC 22632265) affirms the legitimacy of self-defense and CCC 2266 explicitly addresses the death penalty teaching that its use is inadmissible today in most cases but this is a prudential judgment not a binding doctrine. Prudential judgments apply moral principles to specific circumstances so Catholics can in good conscience still support the death penalty if they judge it necessary to protect society just as earlier popes and the Church Fathers did. Instruction on the Ecclesial (Vocation of the Theologian (1990) This"

"Thats a falsehood. Vatican II never said the Mass was corrupted for 1400 years. Sacrosanctum Concilium praised the liturgy as the font from which all her power flows (SC 10) and ordered that sound tradition be retained (SC 23). The Council didnt fix a broken worship it deepened participation in the same living tradition. To claim otherwise repeats Protestant and even Muslim polemics not Catholic teaching"

"Im afraid you are misapplying Church teaching. The Church teaches that self-defense is a legitimate right and when necessary a grave duty to protect oneself or others but the force used must be proportionate and aimed at preserving life not vengeance (CCC 22632265). Regarding the death penalty while historically permissible it is now considered inadmissible in most cases because modern means can effectively protect society. As I stated this is a prudential judgment a reasoned application of moral principles to particular circumstances not a statement that capital punishment is intrinsically"
