It is curious that as Catholic leaders are campaigning essentially for amnesty, providing a plethora of images of “needy,” “struggling” families being “welcomed” by those who supposedly have “more,” there is scarce mention of another concept that many of these same Catholic leaders have highly prized, particularly in their recent struggles with the U.S. government: the rule of law. The notion that those who have come to the United States illegally should be exempted from the nation’s laws is not only not mentioned by these Catholic leaders, but also seemingly dismissed. The fact that many Americans have been the victims of violence at the hands of illegal immigrants has received little, if any, attention from Catholic leaders.

This is an especially worrisome approach when many of these same Catholic leaders have also just completed celebrating a second “Fortnight for Freedom,” during which the focus has been on the government’s invasion of the First Amendment rights of Catholics in the HHS mandate, which requires that most religious employers provide free contraception and abortifacients to their employees through health insurance plans. Here, Church leaders have demanded that the rule of law–the first amendment of the Constitution–as well as Church law, regarding abortion and contraception, be respected, yet the nation’s laws and the Constitutional authority to protect the nation’s borders is dismissed by them.
