There's that little thing about the New Testament, which defines Christianity.

Love one another as I have loved you, and whatsoever you do, to the least of your brethren, that you do unto me.

Whether or not you believe in that is up to you. But if you're a Catholic, and think the Catholic church isn't for welcoming strangers into your home and country, well, I guess you didn't read the Catholic position statement I posted.

You will find that it is Churches and religious organizations, which if you believe the Liberal Media, is mainly made up of "Radical" Conservatives are often the ones who are helping these people anyways.
The Catholic Church believes in welcoming all immigrants.

Republicans do not.

The Catholic Church believes any baby conceived should be carried to term, if biologically possible.

Democrats do not.

I'm not going to sit and argue whether the Catholic church is Biblically sound doctrine, or as another poster suggested that our southern border was created by God.

The church is what it is.

And if you can't be a Catholic and be a democrat, well you can't be a Catholic and be a Republican either.

And shame on Catholic Charities for enabling human trafficking.

I think that church has learned it's lessons the hard way. They aren't turning blind eyes anymore.

Wrong. But God did create psychological delusions.

I'd be for NOTHING being tax exempt, be it a church, Planned Parenthood, BLM, or any organization. At minimum, each should pay PILOT (Payment in Lieu of taxes for specific services).

The rest is a matter of nuance.
