WHERE IS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY WHEN YOU NEED IT?  Or is it only for protecting the institutional church and its politically conservative agenda? 

"Catholic bishops [like Wuerl of Washington, DC] have discouraged [and cautioned against] the sanctuary initiative, stating the church has no legal authority to protect immigrants..."

"It's a prophetic stance," [Jesuit canon and civil lawyer] said, "but there's no legal defense."   Did that stop the anti-abortion movement push to change law?

Jesuit lawyer: "...the promise of legal protection on church grounds...cannot be sustained if the government [would be] willing to go into church properties while enforcing immigration law."  So let's encourage law enforcement by taking a "stand back" posture?

"...there was a provision in canon law for sanctuary, it not longer exists" due to "separation of church & state"  REALLY?  https://RiteBeyondRome.com
