Commentary by<\/em><\/span> Joe Schaeffer <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> @Schaeff55<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.\u201d \u2013 St. Athanasius, Council of Nicea, 325 AD.<\/p>\n

That spirited quote can be applied to all those who are elevated to positions of great importance. People who by their duties of high office can either greatly help or cause grievous harm to their fellow human beings.<\/p>\n

The sitting Roman Catholic bishop of the archdiocese of Tucson, Arizona is actively working to betray the citizens of the nation he belongs to. Undercover investigative journalist James O\u2019Keefe reported<\/a> Feb. 8:<\/p>\n

O\u2019Keefe Media Group infiltrates SECRET converted illegal immigrant compound CASA ALITAS Ramada Hotel in Tucson.<\/em><\/p>\n

This secret operation is funded by Catholic Community Services of Tucson<\/strong> and enriches groups like, \u201cLas Palmas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"O\u2019Keefe detailed how ultra-violent criminals are being welcomed into America by a local Catholic operation that receives lavish federal funding as an NGO working hand-in-glove with the Biden administration to flood America with illegals:<\/p>\n

Casa Alitas migrants are brought to the Ramada Inn where breakfast, lunch, hygienic services, and free wifi is offered.<\/em><\/p>\n

Migrants shared with one of our undercover journalists that NGOs, “Get paid no matter what.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Our undercover journalist confirms with a migrant that they have seen many gang members come through in caravans<\/strong>. The migrant tells us that Border Patrols suspect gang members but they still let them pass through, \u201cThey will ask about gang tattoos but Border Patrol still lets those people in.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Edward Weisenburger is Bishop of Tucson. All this is happening under his watch and with his enthusiastic approval. That the parishioners in the pews may be horrified does not bother him in the slightest.<\/p>\n

Catholic watchdog website Complicit Clergy on Feb. 13 posted<\/a> a reply Weisenburger sent to a concerned Catholic who emailed him \u201crespectfully\u201d requesting that \u201cyou immediately and publicly demand for Catholic organizations to cease aiding and abetting migrants who are illegally entering the United States.\u201d Weisenburger wrote back:<\/p>\n

I hope I can put your mind at ease by explaining that our Diocese has never, at any time, supported undocumented or \u201cillegal\u201d migrants.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I am very pleased to note, however, that for the last 6-7 years we have helped approximately 360,000<\/strong> documented and legal immigrants brought to our Catholic Community Services facilities either by United States Border Patrol or INS (immigration and Naturalization Services). <\/em><\/p>\n

Each of these individuals, without exception, was approved by these government entities and then bussed to our doors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Such disingenuous sophistry should be unbecoming for a prelate. But in fact it is a central aspect of Weisenburger\u2019s justification of the chaos at the porous southern border that so enriches the coffers of his clerical domain. Illegal aliens are being ushered into the nation\u2019s interior in waves by the Biden administration<\/a> and immediately handed over to religious NGOs<\/a> such as Catholic Charities,<\/a> Jewish organization HIAS and Lutheran and other groups. Billions of dollars are involved.<\/p>\n

In an Aug. 17 \u201cWednesdays With Weisenburger\u201d video clip posted onto YouTube titled \u201cMigrants are made in the Image of Christ,\u201d the bishop uses the total lack of vetting by Biden\u2019s Homeland Security officials as a ruse to deny that the massive human trafficking network he is a branch chief of in Tucson has anything to do with illegal aliens at all:<\/p>\n

Weisenberger:<\/p>\n

I know sometimes people talk about \u2018illegal immigrants,\u2019 which is a title I really find offensive,<\/strong> or \u2018undocumented,\u2019 which is actually more accurate. But people coming to us are neither illegal nor undocumented, is that not correct?<\/em><\/p>\n

Teresa Cavendish, his chief operations officer at Catholic Community Services:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is correct…. Everybody who crosses our path comes to us either from Border Patrol or Customs and Border Protection at the port of entries or ICE.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The satisfied bishop adds:<\/p>\n

\u201cOK, that all makes sense.”

Weisenburger is so fanatical about bringing illegal aliens into the US (again, we must emphasize, at great financial recompense for the Catholic NGOs he is tied in with) that in 2018 he ludicrously called for any Catholics who helped the Trump administration secure the border to be canonically punished.<\/p>\n

Religion News Services reported<\/a> at the time:<\/p>\n

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opened its spring meeting this week with a stern reproach of the Trump administration\u2019s latest immigration policies, with the group\u2019s president suggesting the new rules on asylum are a \u201cright to life\u201d issue….<\/em><\/p>\n

Bishop Edward Weisenburger of Tucson, Ariz., made a bolder suggestion,<\/em><\/strong> raising the possibility of implementing canonical penalties for Catholics \u201cwho are involved in this,\u201d referring to children being separated from their families at the border. Canonical penalties can range from denial of sacraments to excommunication<\/strong>, though Weisenburger did not specify what he intended beyond referring to sanctions that already exist for \u201clife issues.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCanonical penalties are there in place to heal,\u201d Weisenburger said. \u201cAnd therefore, for the salvation of these people\u2019s souls, maybe it\u2019s time for us to look at canonical penalties.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The hostility denoted here hints at a much darker side to Weisenburger. It is the mindset of a committed activist. The bishop fully revealed this ugliness with his unconscionable actions during the progressive ruling establishment\u2019s coronavirus social tyranny.<\/p>\n

\u201cTucson Bishop Edward Weisenburger has directed his clergy not to grant religious exemptions to community members seeking them for COVID-19 vaccination mandates or mask requirements,\u201d The Arizona Daily Star reported<\/a> in August 2021.<\/p>\n

Shockingly, Weisenburger acknowledged that the experimental gene therapy jabs falsely presented as \u201cvaccines\u201d were created via research involving the harvesting of fetal cells from a murdered baby, and then adamantly supported the government forcing Americans to be injected.<\/p>\n

From an official message<\/a> the bishop sent to all Catholics in his diocese. Note the three key words utilized here: the common good<\/a>:<\/p>\n

All current anti-Covid-19 vaccines may be received by the faithful without moral compromise.\u00a0 While many appropriately cite a repugnance at the use of vaccines procured through the cell lines that originate in an aborted fetus<\/strong>, [a] Note cited above clearly outlines the Church\u2019s ancient moral distinction between formal and material cooperation in evil….<\/em><\/p>\n

While vaccinations in general are a matter of individual decision, in particular instances the moral good of the community<\/strong> is so compelling that it takes precedence over our personal preferences \u2013 such as in a pandemic. None of us enjoys the moral freedom to dismiss the common good, as is so common in Western culture<\/strong>. Thus, there may well be a legitimate and compelling moral obligation for one to accept a vaccination, especially if one is in a role that is critical for the wellbeing of others.<\/em><\/p>\n

Utilizing the \u201dcommon good\u201d line as absolutist argument is nothing short of a humanist moral code<\/a> for a godless society. Scandalously, Bishop Weisenburger deliberately deceived his flock in his vaccine message. Despite indeed making reference to concern for a common good, the Vatican in December 2020 specifically stated<\/a> that abortion-derived vaccination \u201cmust be voluntary.\u201d Yet Weisenburger wrote this:<\/p>\n

With this teaching before us \u2013\u00a0along with the example of our Holy Father, the Successor of St. Peter \u2013\u00a0I fail to see how a Catholic could ask for an exemption from a vaccine mandate or mask mandate based upon their Catholic faith<\/strong>. I likewise fail to see how a Catholic minister could endorse such an exemption based upon our Catholic faith. While an individual may have some reservation based upon his or her conscience, such a reservation is unrelated to our Catholic faith.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

For these reasons I am directing our clergy<\/strong> not to cooperate<\/strong> with any individuals seeking our endorsement of an exemption from vaccine<\/strong> or facemask mandates<\/strong> based specifically upon our Catholic faith.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Weisenburger went even further. He had already shut down<\/a> public masses during the height of the COVID hysteria. When the jabs were rolled out, the churches themselves<\/a> were turned into vaccine sites:<\/p>\n
