Und er kam mit diesem amerikanisch-kalvinistischen Scheiß der Reichen, ORDO AMORIS, du musst nur deine Familie und dein Geld lieben ...
@ayoub schreibt (in engl) dazu ausführlich, wie sich die Reichen ihren eigenen Jesus zusammen zimmern, der zu ihren Interessen passt.
Die reichen Palästinenser können dann ja in der amerikanischen Ferienkolonie kaufen, die fleißigen dürfen dort arbeiten, ein neues #Gaza ist geschaffen ...

#MaundyThursday seems like a good day to reflect on the reason #JDVance dug up an abstruse patristic term like #OrdoAmoris to justify the cruelty of #Republican #Deportation of #Immigrants:
When a #FundieNutjob can't find a Scripture to cherrypick, they get desperate 🙄
This #Episcopalian listens to a Teacher Who challenges me to "Love one another AS I HAVE LOVED YOU" ☦😳☦
He calls it a Commandment, y'all
#Solidarity & #Compassion for all

Without #immigration, America's prosperity would be under significant pressure. Our markets are shrinking, and other nations are ever more competitive in #science and #technology. Manufacturing has been all but ceded to other countries (with the remarkable and welcome exception of Biden's 2022 CHIPS and Science Act), putting our entire economy at risk.
Immigrants are great neighbors and, given the opportunity, great Americans. Most demonstrated creativity, persistence, and amazing mental toughness simply making it to our shores. Aren't those qualities worth cultivating?
Anti-immigrants, though, are #privileged, mean-spirited, and as often as not, #racist. They believe that they're owed something, not for their own efforts, but simply by virtue of the accident of their birth on US soil. They blame immigrants (and minorities, and Jews, and. . .) for problems they themselves created.
Forget #ordoamoris. The best way to love America is to love #immigrants. 2/2

Unrepentant #fascist JD Vance fancies himself a biblical scholar now, eh?
Others (including, notably, Pope Francis) have already explained the deep and inescapable flaws in Vance's understanding of the Aquinian concept of #ordoamoris. But those arguments cede Vance's premise, and they should not, because it's diaphanous bullshit.
Ordo amoris is a way of choosing, in a sense, between doing for ourselves and doing for others. But THERE IS NOT TRADE-OFF between what we do for Americans and what we do for #immigrants. Immigrants enrich our culture, broaden our tax base, act as consumers for our products. Immigrants are not only picking our crops (a necessary and honorable way to make a living); they're also doctors, lawyers, and Nobel Prize winners. They fight our wars and police our neighborhoods; they teach our children, and drive our buses. They invent the incredible new technologies that keep America competitive.
