“For it is a matter of necessity that every Church should agree with this Church (Rome), on account of its more powerful preeminence." Irenaeus of Lyons
I really encourage anyone who has questions, doubts, objections to the Catholic Church to just read the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Or you can go online and listen to the Catechism in a Year.
You might remain unconvinced. However, you will actually understand what you are disagreeing with. Right now you are just attacking a caricature of what you think we are.
You will be pleasantly surprised that Mary is mentioned a moderate amount and discussed in a very measured way.
Can you conceive how you destroying a perfectly healthy body part created by God might be offensive to God who designed it as He did?
If God wanted your tunes tied, He would have made you with tied tubes.
How are you different than a trans person who deforms a perfectly healthy sex organ?
@theistinthought He is no more sympathetic than the millions in a similar situation.
You should pray for him. No family deserved to be destroyed over paperwork.
Him staying here takes away nothing from your life.
Thr conservative Christians who are still standing with Samuel Sey are doing so because they believe he is a good man, a Christian man, a family man, even a fellow conservative, certainly not a criminal.
For whatever reason they can't make the leap between their friends and the hundreds of thousands of people who are just like him. They can't see that these are also good people who made decisions about jobs, family, safety, and just didn't fill out the right paperwork.
They can't imagine that these other people are also good.
When I was in graduate school, I met a couple who stressed out at the possibility that immigration wanted to deport the wife. She came here on a student visa, fell in love and now, was trying to stay here legally with her husband. There was no crime but according to them, they were being treated with suspicion and found the whole ordeal stressful and scary.
The fact that JD Vance wrote an entire book about growing up in a neglectful, abusive Ohio home and chose to side with Vivek over someone with a similar experience is so telling about what a soulless, satanic wretch he is.
Remember ICE has been hanging out at immigration court houses and arresting people who are following the law, who have completed their paperwork and are who areshowing up to their appointments.
These guys have never spoken a word in their defense.
Update from the Seys:
“My husband Samuel Sey entered the United States legally and has been working ever since in good faith with a lawyer to obtain permanent legal status. Our family is trying to understand what went wrong in the process. In the spirit of Romans 13, our family fully supports and respects American law and are prayerfully working to get him home through the legal process.”
Here's my one beef with some immigrants.
You live here, be here.
Cuban politics, Israeli politics, Venezuelan politics should not be a factor in state or local elections.
Americans are not here to fight for democracy for your birth country.
You want to be here? Be here.

Angie Nixon on whether Cuba is a dictatorship in interview with CBS News:
"That is what people have told me. I have never been to Cuba, and so I will have to take their word for it."
“Only one-third of Americans support deporting [undocumented immigrants] who work full time and pay taxes (30%), have no criminal record outside of their immigration status (37%), or whose children were born in the U.S. (33%).” https://t.co/C91LwiUcvH
