St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

He's done this before. He voiced a cartoon character for Shapiro too I belive. Shameful. He's got restaurants in California they should be boycotted. Shame on Harvey Keitel too.

FYI, here's the plan for the "surprise" papal visit next weekend--assuming the White Sox win tonight. He throws out the first pitch in Chicago Friday at ALDS game four. He insists on visiting a No Kings rally Saturday. He preaches Sunday at St. Raphael's in Springfield, OH.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

Pope: “In every age, there is no shortage of false teachers who exploit the religious sentiments of many believers for their own interests, often pushing them to radicalize certain aspects of the teaching they have received at the expense of the whole — the whole, which is Christ and his Gospel.”

A suggestion for the Bulwark Pope: If the Chicago White Sox make the World Series, how could His Holiness not go to their first home game on Monday, Oct. 26. And the day before, on Sunday, he could celebrate Mass in Springfield, OH, to show support for the persecuted Haitians.

If the only difference between a historically bad '24 Sox squad and a '26 team that wins the World Series is the existence of a Sox fan as pope, I'd say that's airtight evidence that 1) God is real, 2) the Catholic Church is the one true church, and 3) Cubs fans need to repent NOW.
