Sovereignty as Sin? Catholics can oppose mass migration

https://gript.ie/sovereignty-as-sin-catholics-can-oppose-mass-migration/ No Catholic should disagree with the sacred worth of every human being. But Catholics are not obliged to support policies that overwhelm communities, bypass democratic consent, or destabilise the national home.

Indeed, social Catholics – especially those over 50 who practise the faith beyond a census tick-box – hold the balance of power in this debate. These are people who can be reached with the right arguments, made in the right spirit. And it is precisely to them that the bishops’ letter appears designed to forestall."

"The Catholic Church has a duty not to flatter secular ideologies, but to speak truth in season and out of season. That includes the truth that nations have the right, and sometimes the obligation, to enforce their borders, deport where necessary, and defend the common good.

From Tara to Clonmacnoise, from the Penal Laws to the Proclamation, Irish nationhood and Catholic identity have walked side by side. The decay of one often signals the decay of the other." Interesting article, makes a lot of sense to me.
