“The Church teaches that equal human dignity is inherent in the mere fact of personhood and does not depend on citizenship, immigration status, or parentage.”
You do not have to support Catholic moral teachings or to endorse religious ideas to see the political importance of any and all wedges that can be driven into the foundation of MAGA fascism, including especially those that probe its religious underpinnings.

Matt Ford notes that though the US Catholic bishops have been cheerleaders for the Republican party in recent decades and paved the way for Trump, the bishops are some of the strongest opponents of Trump's plan to abolish birthright citizenship.
They have authored a brief to the Supreme Court opposing Trump. The brief states:

"Bishop Robert Barron, once viewed as a thoughtful evangelist bridging faith and culture, has in recent weeks accelerated a troubling alignment with the Trump-Vance administration and MAGA priorities.
Barron’s latest partisan provocations are now raising alarm within the Vatican."

"Where were their voices when the Trump administration threatened to cut food stamps for the poor while cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans? Where were their voices when the administration kidnapped a foreign leader, threatened military action against an ally and invaded American cities?"

"As the Trump administration escalated its assault on human dignity, many Catholics have wondered: Where are our bishops? Why don't they do something?
Where were their voices when cuts to USAID consigned millions across the world to hunger, thirst and death?"

"While the Catholic bishops may be showing signs of ambivalence, there are signs that Americans overall are sympathetic to these churches who are taking a stand. This week, PRRI released new analysis of American attitudes on immigration reform that show Americans are rejecting Trump’s dehumanizing, racist rhetoric and harsh immigration policies."

Robert P. Jones notes that though the US Catholic bishops have issued a rare statement condemning Trump's attacks on Immigrants, the archdiocese of Boston has leaned on a Catholic parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, to take down its Christmas creche, which indicts ICE for cruelty to immigrants.

"As one of the nation’s most recognizable bishops, Barron’s words (or lack thereof) send a signal to both the faithful and the broader public.
His silence risks suggesting that the plight of immigrant families simply doesn’t merit the same moral urgency as the other issues he’s been vocal about. This is especially troubling given that he sits on President Trump’s own commission on religious liberty."
-
"Barron’s silence is jarring given his stature. Here is a bishop known for media savvy and evangelization, even serving on President Trump’s own Religious Liberty Commission, yet he has said nothing about the ongoing deportation crackdowns — even as federal agents have been sweeping up parishioners in their raids."
-
"One of America’s most prominent Catholic leaders, Bishop Robert Barron, has been conspicuously silent about President Donald Trump’s aggressive ICE raids on immigrant families.
This silence stands in stark contrast to the clear moral call coming from Pope Leo XIV. Earlier this month, Pope Leo implored the U.S. Church to speak out 'with one voice' against the cruelty unfolding at the border."

"We need to be aware of the history leading to the current moment. McConahay has done us a great service by laying out the case."
And, of course, as Roberts says, Clarence Thomas, wife Ginni, and Leonard Leo and the corruption of a Supreme Court dominated by hard-right Catholics loom very large large in McConahay's study.

"Catholics today, still recovering from the deep betrayal by bishops in the ongoing sexual abuse scandal, may be reluctant to consider that their church is being further distorted and turned inside out by unseemly forces in their midst. But Catholicism in America is metastasizing into a thoroughly American Catholicism, subservient to the culture's most rapacious instincts."

Tom Roberts writes, reviewing Mary Jo McConahay's new book, Playing God: American Catholic Bishops and The Far Right:
"A primary concern for those reporting on the Catholic Church in the United States today should be following the money."

She writes,
"Money guys are earners. They are comfortable collaborating with predatory capitalists and politicians. They know how to hide money and they tend to lack the scope of intellectual development to dwell on 'scruples' and they adhere rather closely to the 'letter' of what I have begun to call 'the Golf Club Rules.' Any 'cafeteria Catholic'-style deviation from those rules is a detour made for financial or fund-raising reasons."

Michele Somerville's characterization of Baltimore archbishop William Lori, recently elected vp of the US Catholic bishops' conference, is sharp and accurate. The "oleaginous ordinary" of Baltimore is, she tells us, one of the "money guy fixers" among the bishops, who often have to fix things when the "bon vivant" bishops make a mess of things through their high living and self-indulgence.
