Pope Leo XIV has appointed a man who had once entered the United States as an undocumented immigrant, hidden in the trunk of a car, as the new bishop of West Virginia.
The pope approved the resignation of Bishop Mark E Brennan of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia, and selected Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, of Washington to take his place, reported OSV News.
This is most likely the case. Although, it could also be an interesting move if it was provocative. The “correct” response is nothing, or to step up ICE activity in that bishop’s parishes. The bad move would be to directly target the bishop with ICE, which trump could be dumb enough to do if he saw this as a provocation. That kind of open attack would put the church and state more directly at odds, which the Pope could use to argue more conservative Catholics into supporting direct progressive action in opposition.
I dunno, it’s just fun to speculate. It’s very strange to me that the Catholic church isn’t aligned with the great evil this time around, an unexpected twist for this season of the Earth Show.
While many Catholics have joined the cult, most that I know have not. Not usually Bible bangers.
There are still many fish to fry with the catholic church, but having them on the good side gives me hope that we can still beat this.
