(RNS) — ‘I’ve had some priests who are of a different color being targeted and arrested — stopped — because of their color and asking them to prove that they’re citizens. That’s not America,’ the Chicago cardinal said.

Cardinal Blase Cupich, head of the Archdiocese of Chicago, has twice told interviewers in recent weeks that priests in the archdiocese have been stopped by federal agents and asked to prove their immigration status — demands he said were “because of their color.”

      Did he think priest were exempt os something?

      I’m not sure the priest thought this, but I’m sure many (most?) MAGA do. Remember, MAGA thinks ICE only bothers “MS-13/V3nuzualianG@ng!!/VicousMurderers/WhiteWomanRapists”.

      I’m sure there are MAGA reading this thinking “why is ICE going after the church?!”

    Was he able to pull his dick out of a child long enough to produce his ID? Fuck the Catholic church. I’ve got no time for the hurt feelings of an institution that has such a horrible history.
