On our Parish Facebook page there is a post the clearly states “For those who are interested.” I do not see this as sponsorship. We are a congregation of 7000 members which includes many Hispanics who are profoundly affected by some of the concerns of the protest.

I attend this church and a few years ago there was a homily by a priest that encouraged us to hire illegal aliens.. there was also a note in the bulletin encouraging us to do so. I was stunned and questioned as to why they would encourage us to break the law and they basicaly had no answer.
They are profoundly affected because they profoundly broke laws.
To offer sanctuary within those walls is one matter, to support breaking laws in an open protest is quite another matter.
If I was catholic and a member of that church, I would find another church even if it meant driving to Berlin or Pocomoke. Churches need to stay out of politics.
If it is on their page that they control, then they are endorsing & promoting it.
People can worship as they wish, protest and assemble. This is America.
If this is what you feel is right then good for you. If you feel different you can worship elsewhere.
If some are "profoundly affected" instead of encouraging protest the Christian thing to do would be to counsel the affected to make things right with the law!
Romans 13:1-7
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...
Let me make myself perfectly clear here, since some of you can't read between the lines.
Father Chris LaBarge clearly states that they have members who may share interest in this event. They simply chose to place this information on their Facebook Page, being FAIR AND BALANCED.
I personally feel they did the right thing. I also support the right to assemble and express your opinions. ANYONE who attends this event who does not support their cause is a hypocrite.
Now I may not agree with them, (the march) but this is their right as Americans. Let them blow off steam.
As for the people who have sent in comments attacking Father Chris LaBarge, your comments will be rejected. Shame on you.
The joy thing that's perfectly clear is your desire to stir the pot then enjoy the resultant stink.
Are Hispanics not Americans?
It's not up to and church to decide what laws and orders they want people to follow. As shown above:
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."
THOSE WHO RESIST WILL INCUR JUDGEMENT! It is the duty of church leaders to encourage and counsel those who resist governing authorities so they will not incur judgement. It is disturbing when a church leaders ignores parts of the Bible they don't agree with. It's all or nothing with God's Word. I personally don't think any Christian church should be involving themselves in something that clearly goes completely and unequivocally and inarguable against the Word of God.
If your not a legal citizen you have no rights to assemble, despite what lying democrats told you.
707, try preaching from the new testament please.
736 dont make it about race, if your not here legally then your not a US citizen, mexican ? or american?
7:36 You know darn well that every hispanic person or person with a hispanic sounding name is here illegally. There aren't any of us real americans here that are on the wrong side of the law. I mean just look at the WCSO press releases. No white christians on there. Right?
No church should be involved in this in any way and certainly should not announce it to their congregation. It is going against the Bible.
We are to NOT resist authorities who God Himself appointed. Just because someone does not like a law that doesn't mean they can go against it. Jesus taught people CAN receive God's forgiveness IF they are sorry AND repent which means taking the steps to change.
This is why the Catholic church is failing it changes and water downs it's views according to the political winds. I urge them to make a clear and concise statement. Islam is slaughtering Christians in large numbers and yet for some reason they are cloudy in their response on whether to import that here.
The church should not be encouraging anyone who is "profoundly affected" to engage in what amounts to an angry protest. By bringing this to light that is what they are doing. If you are "profoundly affected" for your own peace of mind you need to clear your conscious of what is "profoundly affecting" you.
Also the girl who is organizing is not a truth teller. The president did not rape anyone. The church should not encourage or bring to light the actions of a deceiver.
If the Hispanics are Profoundly concerned then they must have something to hide. Otherwise it does not affect them. I still fail to see why the church should be involved. Can't have a nativity scene at a government office but we can advertise politics on a christian site?
If the parish flock is legal the matter is moot.

Don't be silly with dumb questions. Some are and some aren't. Those who are "profoundly affected" either aren't Americans or are harboring or otherwise supporting those who are breaking the laws of this land. It's not up to us to pick and choose what laws we want to follow. That goes against what the Bible says. It is all or noting with the Bible. Either you follow it complete or don't bother. This is not debatable. There is no grey area. Real Christians follows it all even if they don't agree. Again no grey area and not debatable. What God says goes-in all instances.
You are exactly right 8:09. They pick and choose what parts of the Bible that suits them and that is 100 100 100 WRONG. Shameful really!
I call BS! You put in on your page then you are a sponsorship. I know your oaths, but do the actually take your ----s too!
This is why many American born Catholics voted for President Trump. They are leaving the church and going to real Bible based churches because the Catholic church has engaged in perverting and twisting Bible teachings according to which way the wind blows. They are pandering to Hispanics and Latinos now because so many American borns are leaving. Don't let them fool you. They have become an arm of the liberal agenda in order to get parishioners.
Maybe Soros has got to the church also .
Not true. If you are a President supporter you could be assaulted by the bigots and fascist of the left. I'm sure you have a tv.
It depends on who is pushing this message. If it's coming downhill, then it won't matter which church you switched to. Especially considering all Catholic churches on the shore are under the guidance of the Wilmington diocese.
So not Jesus-like! Jesus did denounce religious leaders during His time on earth so it is our duty to speak out against the Un-Christian like actions of this church! Jesus did not denounce political leaders nor did He ever encourage by announcing a protest people to confront the government. Beyond shameful and so very very Un-Christian and Un-Jesus like!
The Christian knows and believes that God removes rulers and puts them in power – both good and evil – for his purposes (Daniel 2:21; 4:17). All political leaders are appointed by God and nothing is beyond His control. Christians don't sign petitions. They petition their Father in heaven through prayer. If someone truly believes in God they will not protest the government which was put in place by God as that is so very much against God's word. They will pray to God to change things.
Their is no middle ground when it comes to being Christian. You disobey one thing and you are not a Christian unless you ask for forgiveness and change your ways which go against His word. This is it in a nutshell-period end of story.
I am sorry, but if you put it on your website, you are condoning what they are protesting.
The Catholic Church strongly supports and harbors illegal aliens. Have been and continue to do so.
Father Labarge did you know the event organizer has listed St Francis as interested in attending the march?
Dave T: I'm Roman Catholic and I avoid going to this church. It just doesn't have the right feeling to me there, as if the place is run by kooks. This news confirms my suspicions.
I am going to step out on a limb.... I have ready many comments.... One thing I truly believe, is a Church needs to be a safe place. Yes a sanctuary.... In Christ we are safe, Christ is our defender. I believe in this with all political thoughts, feelings, opinions put aside. If Church is not a safe place then there is no safe place.
They have perverted the meaning of love to tolerance and acceptance of those who go against God's word. This is not love. This is hate. In reality they hate their neighbors. When you truly love you point out people indiscretions and help them to change their ways so they too can share in the glory and eternal life. To ignore and accept their indiscretions is doing exactly what the devil wants you to do.
10:00 But for law breakers? Doesn't matter if you agree with a law. Nor does the Bible distinguish between minor and major offenses. The bible clearly says to obey the government because God has His hand government leadership. It does not say anywhere if you don't agree with the government is is okay to go against them. In Christ we are ONLY safe when we abide by His word. That is clearly written in the Bible also. It's not the churches place to be a safe place. It's only function is to show people the way to eternal life and the only way to do that is to follow His word AT ALL TIMES even you don't like it at times. We are guaranteed no safe places by man only God! The only safe place is Heaven! Look at the Pentagon. Could be said to be one of the safest places in the world and it was still terrorized and people killed.
I say shame on Father Labarge and shame on this parish! The girl behind this has sent out untrue messages about the president by saying he is a rapist on a sign. She is being untruthful and no church ever should promote someone who doesn't tell the truth! This church is only showing it's complete disregard for truthfulness and honesty by announcing this event and for that they should be ashamed of themselves. This speaks volumes as to the content of their character and how little they value honesty.
Voice your displeasure with this insanity by withholding your weekly monetary offering. The Church is just like any other operation - money talks. Or send your offering to the Catholic church in Pocomoke, Seaford, or any other Parish.
Father LaBarge states, "We are a congregation of 7000 members which includes many Hispanics who are profoundly affected by some of the concerns of the protest." Are some of the concerns of the protest...abortion funding, illegal immigration and Trump bashing?
Truly loving you neighbor means firmness if they are going against the word so they too can have eternal life in Heaven! It is not ignoring their indiscretions! When you truly love you help those to make things right with God and man! Same as you do with your children. You love them so at times you must be firm with them. To promote an angry event that has a very real potential of becoming destructive and/or violent is Not what Jesus would ever ever do! It's incomprehensible that those profoundly affected would ever be encouraged to participate in such an event. The Christian thing to do and what Jesus would do is to counsel them to make things right. I am beyond disgusted with this parish. They have gone completely against what the bible says. They are playing God!
The main difficulty with this church and many others is that they follow the Jesus of their imagination and disregard completely the Jesus of the Bible. Harboring and giving safe space to illegals is going against the Jesus of the Bible. no matter how anyone tries to spin it, illegals are law breakers. While Jesus did forgive criminals He only did so when they stopped breaking the laws of the time. Go and sin no more He said!
The Bible says we should be subject to those who rule over us. When ask the question about the money. We all know Caesar was a corrupt ruler. But Jesus said Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's. So even Jesus taught that you should obey the law of the land. So if the Hispanics you talk about are illegals then no they are not Americans. I know what the Bible says and it seems to me that the current Pope is pushing the limits and is very Liberal in his thinking. He is changing the values of the Church and if you keep going there your money is supporting that. Whether you like it or not. As for me I would rather change Churches and put my support to someone that upholds the traditional values of this country. And also support a President that is trying to do everything he said he would do during his campaign. I know these actions are foreign to us now because of all the political corruptness. But we need people in high places that will do the right thing. So like it or not we should get behind our President and support him. If for no other reason because God say we should obey the law of the land.
Your comment doesn't even address the issue 10am. We are not talking about safe places, the story is about the church supporting criminals.
I am appalled at the so-called Catholic church really the Christian Left that willingly breaks the law of the land. This is not a Good Samaritan lesson. This is a political ideology which is replacing the correct merging of preaching the Gospel along with dispensing social justice. Christian churches must obey the laws of God but they must obey the laws in the nations in which they reside unless those are totalitarian. This is not Nazi Germany or Communist Russia where its own citizens were persecuted for their faith. This is a nation whose charity and generosity to legal immigrants is world renowned. Jesus allowed for the law of Caesar and of God to coexist as long as God was honored by its own adherents. To think that our nation is not allowed to protect our national security, our sovereignty, protect us from terrorists using the same illegal immigration ploy is nonsense. Should the U.S.A. allow mosques to give sanctuary to al Qaida operatives who might be untracked by the FBI in the name of social justice? Absurdity. Are sanctuary churches willing to allow ethnic gang members to go unpunished just because they may be not only illegal but a protected ethnic group which is politically correct? I think not and neither does a large segment of the public.
10:00 by giving sanctuary or safe places to illegals a church is only teaching it's parishioners that it is okay to break a law if you disagree with it. Not good for society as a whole and is one of the major reasons why we today have all the crime that we do.
Real churches and not churches in name only are places of moral sanctuary not political or legal sanctuaries. People here illegally are breaking the laws. Shame on this church for teaching that it is acceptable to undermine the laws and authority of this country! Shame On You! Shame for perverting the word of God to promote a politicsl agenda. Shame Shame!
Right 10:30! Not only did the organizer Molly lie about President Trump by saying he is a rapist but she is also agrees with a woman's right to kill her unborn child! It is beyond disgusting that any one who calls himself a man of God would promote this event! It is sickening and this priest's head should be dragging the ground in shame! It should be dragging the ground in absolute shame! She is involved in the groups that displayed the most disgusting vulgar signs ever at the event in Wash DC! He wants to lend his name and those of his parish to such vulgarity and crudeness!!!!! SHAME ON HIM!
I can not remember exactly but it may have been Perlosi when asked during an interview shortly after the election why so many Catholics who usually vote democrat shifted and voted for President Trump. The response was something along the lines of 'we don't care about Americans anymore in the Catholic church. It's the hispanics and latinos we are pandering to now for the Catholic democrat voter block.'
Religion has been and continues to be a BUSINESS!
21st century folks - need to wake up and understand beliefs are not "believed" by everyone. But the almighty dollar - everyone understands that!!!!
Nothing to shame when business is at hand. Don't have to like it, as long as you know its driving the train!
"I personally feel they did the right thing. I also support the right to assemble and express your opinions. ANYONE who attends this event who does not support their cause is a hypocrite."
I disagree with you Joe. I don't feel it is doing the right thing by promoting an event organized by this woman who is deceiving people by saying the president is a rapist. To me doing the right thing means keeping it real and fact based something she is clearly NOT doing. She is also a supporter of abortion something the Catholic church is against.
Let them assemble, have an ICE raid, and deport them.
Tell me what are they marching for? They should know befor they go.

Well no kidding 6:58. Aren't you an Einstein. Of course people can worship as they wish protest and assemble. THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE! The issue is should a church engage in and promote people to disregard laws they don't like. FYI Einstein churches are supposed to be institutes of morality and not a politics arm. God makes the rules and REAL christians follow them. God says He put the government in place so we are to submit. Unfortunately this "priest" thinks he is God and has chosen to pervert and distort Gods words to fit his earthly agenda and that is bad not only for him but more importantly the parishioners.
The girl calls herself Molly Magdalene on Twitter! She also think she is a card reader. As a 6 generation card reader in this country only and going back many more in Romania I know how to read cards. she says her future is positive after doing herself a 3 card past present and future reading with oracles. She's wrong! I saw darkness. Darkness of heart. Issues with mother. She doesn't like her mother and wishes someone else was her mother. I see bleakness to her future. I see longing to belong. This longing needs to go then peace will come and urge to show off to make a place for herself will leave. Most don't like her and pay her no mind or attention. I dont' see any positive with this person as of yet. I am 100 on always.
Likovich the organizer supports abortion.
The Church teaches that human life is created and begins at the moment of conception. The Catholic Church sees abortion as the termination of an unborn life, and therefore, it's always wrong, sinful, and immoral. How in the world can a priest in good moral conscious lead his flock to follow someone who is clearly not in good moral standing with the church and it's principles! I think he has lost his mind is the only explanation!!!!!!
When and if Black Lives Matter joins this protest, and you know they will, it's gonna get ugly. I pray the town holds up without damage to property and without harm to people.
I know Father Lebarge, he's a fine man, in the trenches doing the best job he can tending to Jesus's flock. No need to find fault with the man. Now the pope on the other hand, well let's just say eschatology must be fulfilled!
Because they are God's people.
Yeah but I bet you run your mouth about anortion
Seems you the winners are the ones with the problems
What did you do to President Obama?
This priest is a hypocrite. He's telling people to go and follow Molly Likovich someone who wages war on the unborn by her support of abortion. Would he tell people to go and follow David Duke white supremacist if he held a rally in support of immigration?

Prayed to be rid of him and for Donald Trump to get elected and Congress to be controlled by Republicans. Prayed and lit candles and did novenas and my prayers as usual were answered! Being a true follower of Christ I know and believe God is in control of all!
Just for the record I prayed for George Zimmerman to be found not guilty and also the officer in Ferguson to be cleared and they were! I also prayed for the Innocent Baltimore 6 and none were convicted! When you are a true believer, just and righteous like myself God never will turn His back on you!

No he is not! Doing a good job of tending to Jesus's flock doesn't mean sending that flock to a woman who supports the killing of the unborn! Tending to Jesus's flock does not mean encouraging people who are "profoundly affected" by something to go against the laws of the land! He is doing the complete opposite of what it means to be really and truly tending to Jesus's flock! He is encouraging people to go against God's plan-that is NOT tending to Jesus's flock. That is falling into satan's trap!
Fr LaBarge did not want St Francis in any way involved in the "Stand For Life" that takes place at the intersection of Rt13 and West College every Sunday afternoon. We peacefully hold pro-life signs for one hour. He would not allow this to be posted in the Church bulletin and did not want St Francis to be at all implicated even though many of us there are Catholic.
I am going to change my parish enrollment to a different parish. It will mean a drive to another Catholic parish but I cannot support this parish any longer.
1:54 Thank you. I was just going to ask if he notified the congregation about the march for life rally in DC. The fact that he would not allow a local pro life notice in the bulletin says a lot him personally. You would think he would have gladly asked parishioners to be involved in defending innocent babies.
American gypsies over 1 million strong stopped going to catholic church. Most were catholic but some practiced orthodox. We went to church every Sunday,all religious holidays, said rosary had slava on saint days. Always having our purses open for whatever donation or cause they asked of us. Never looked at the Bible though. It sat in mothers ofisa which is reading room for fortune tellers. It was like a bank was all it was. Mothers keep money in them. If we wanted money for ice cream mother said the moneys in the ofisa in the Bible.
We were missing something. No moral authority. Any thing goes in the catholic church even gypsies not held up for committing scams against the guyshay non gypsy people in gypsy language. Always forgive forgive never any consequences for continuing on with offense.
Men got together realizing 99 percent of gypsies going to hell. No one to really guide them no moral authority. So gypsies stopped attending catholic church and started their own churches where people are held to the standard taught in the Bible and by Father God. The many gypsy churches spread out all over this great nation have million strong going several days a week attending. We just held a historic 24 hour live prayer service on instagram with many gypsy churches all over the country participating. I am not speaking out against the catholic church because we do attend a bit sometimes but I just wish they held people to higher standards. It's good to forgive but it is not good to enable someone and that's what is done when someone isn't counseled to change self destruction and sinful ways. We go to Our Lady of Lourdes shrine in Emmitsburg a few times a year and to Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown PA also. I neveill celebrate saint days with prayer and celebrations with family and friends.
Oh really 1:54? But he then informs people of a rally being put on by a person who is waging war on the unborn by her support of abortion. Such the man of God he is not.
2:59 pm He did allow the March for Life to be advertised in the Bulletins, and coordinated out of St. Francis. He does allow the pro-life group "Loving Life" to meet and be hosted at the Church. But when it comes to public protests and rallies in Salisbury in support of life, then it seems to be he doesn't want St Francis to be named. I don't understand it. But other actions taken by the parish seem to be at odds with patriotism. Nothing in Catholicism is against patriotic support of one's country. It's called "pietas" and it is a Catholic virtue. So the blatant harboring of illegal aliens by this parish sit ill with me. And the inconsistent attitude towards the unborn and elderly are enough to make me look elsewhere for a "parish home" as they are fond of touting it.
I understand that but they are also advising us to break the law..which is wrong!
3:35 when labarge was instilled as pastor he said "I am looking forward to listening to the people of the parish over the coming months to discover the direction they would like to see the parish going," LaBarge, the parish's 12th pastor, wrote in an email. "Having been here for five years does give me some insight into why things are being done in a particular way, but it also allows me to see other possibilities"
This explains it all. It's not which direction the people of the parish would like to see it go in because there is only one way-God's way for it to go. There are NO other possibilities. It's the Biblical way, a strict adherence to God's word or you are not a real church.
The Catholic church is going the same route as the black churches did. No moral authority. Distortion of words like forgive and phrases like love thy neighbor. A if it feels good do it attitude no matter what it is. No consequences just forgive and ignore the depravity. If people are breaking God's law and man's law and continue on forgiveness means to ignore to them. We see the consequences in the black communities of no moral authority. The breakdown of the family, crime, poverty. The Catholic church is no longer a place for people who value traditional values and morals.
It's bad enough they committed a crime and are criminals by coming here illegally but once they get here the crimes continue. They engage in a whole networking of fraud. They sell their US born children's SS#'s to the highest legal immigrant bidder and that person uses the child as a tax deduction on taxes. They breakup their own families by what amounts to selling to the highest bidder their US born children to live with illegal 'aunts uncles' and sometimes complete strangers so then the illegals can get welfare benefits off the child. People think the child belongs to the illegals and the child is taught to call the people mother and father.
Catholic Church justifies child abuse by omission of addressing it, especially if pushed far enough in a corner...funny...turn the other cheek has morphed into...turn a blind eye...to criminal behavior no matter the flavor...
A lot of the illegal children that were pushed over the border by parents years ago have completely disappeared out of the school systems here. Some as young as 12 are working in the shadows of foreign owned businesses long hours and sending what little money they get paid back to Mexico and South America. The underworld----- most of which most people don't know---- of the illegals and legals in many cases because they benefit from the illegals is not pretty. This priest as are many other clueless as to what is going on in the real world of illegals.
I am a Parishioner and a proud Catholic and I can tell you that I now can not stand Chris LeBarge. I hope the 7000 Parishioners feel the same was as I do and appeals to the Archdiocese of Wilmington to have him removed. I am sick and tired of catering to the Muslims and Mexican and any illegal.
This past Sunday during "Prayer of Special Intention" they asked that they pray that all elected officials make good policy to "protect Christians and especially Muslims" then everyone responded with "Lord hear our prayer." I could not repeat that and I was almost knocked off my feet. How soon does this idiot Chris Lebarge forget that Muslims cut the heads off of Catholic Priest. I am to the point that I will leave the church and give up my Catholic faith if this continues and they don't get rid of this fake priest.

Large Scale Public Muslims Prayer on the Streets of NYC
Is this the Middle East you ask? Why, no, it isn't. We are told this was filmed in Manhattan a few days ago.
For some reason, anti-Trump protests in America have turned into Muslim prayer spaces, and ironically supported by Americans who usually lose their minds over any public display of religion.

You are 100% correct. The Catholic Church is on Sponsoring it, Chris LeBarge is sponsoring it and he should be disciplined by the church. Religion and personal politics are a no no in the church.
Here is a lame as statement from the Archbishop at the Archdiocese of Wilmington. As a lifelong Catholic I am done.
A statement from Bishop Malooly concerning executive orders on immigration
February 3, 2017
My Dear Friends,
In December, I had the pleasure of celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Holy Angels Church in Newark and Saint Paul’s Church in Wilmington – two of our larger Hispanic Catholic communities. During my time with them, I expressed my solidarity with them and the local, regional, and national Hispanic population, and with all immigrants and refugees.
I join with my brother Bishops and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to stand up for the rights and dignity of all people, especially those who are persecuted, vulnerable, and looking for a better life and home for themselves and their families.
Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, recently wrote a letter on this topic to his flock. I concur with Archbishop Lori, and share excerpts from that letter with you:
In recent days, President Donald Trump signed a number of executive orders that have caused many of our immigrant sisters and brothers to fear for their future in this country and for the stability of their families, including one order that suspends the U.S. refugee admissions program. In addition, the orders call for the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the expedited deportation of those who are living in our country without authorization, and the barring of entry of citizens from a number of countries of particular concern (all Muslim majority).
I echo the concerns expressed by many of my brother bishops across the United States, including Bishop Joe S. Vásquez of Austin, Texas, Chairman of the Committee on Migration for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, who wrote, “We believe that now more than ever, welcoming newcomers and refugees is an act of love and hope.” Citing the Conference’s desire to work with the new administration, Bishop Vásquez added, “We will work vigorously to ensure that refugees are humanely welcomed in collaboration with Catholic Charities without sacrificing our security or our core values as Americans, and to ensure that families may be reunified with their loved ones.
While we affirm the right of sovereign nations to control their borders, we likewise affirm our moral responsibility to respect every human being’s dignity. We must remember that those fleeing horrendous and unspeakable violence and grinding poverty have the right, as children of God, to provide for the basic needs of themselves and their families. Scripture reminds us repeatedly of our obligation to care for the widow, the orphan and the stranger. “You shall treat the alien who resides with you no differently than the natives born among you; you shall love the alien as yourself; for you too were once aliens in the land of Egypt.” (Lev. 19:34)
I echo what Archbishop Lori clearly says about our present situation and how we need to respond on behalf of our people.
For over 240 years, immigrants have contributed in countless ways to our great country and to the Church in the United States. We must continue to open our hearts to new immigrants, and work to protect family units, because many of those who come to us today form the future of our parishes and communities.
May God bless you,
Most Reverend W. Francis Malooly
Bishop of Wilmington
What part of illegal aliens do they not understand. Supporting and sponsoring illegals is breaking the law and that is what the leaders of the Catholic church are doing. They are condoning breaking the law. This has nothing to do with protecting immigration this is all about supporting people who are CRIMINALS!

Why do you still attend this church?
Where to begin? FIrst it looks like the community needs a lot fewer "Anonymous" Catholics!
I am a member of the Loving Life Committee at St. Francis de Sales. It's been hard to see my Parish and it's Pastor be bashed about like they have here on this post. There's some truth here getting buried in the rubble.
The parish has sponsored a bus to the Annual March for Life in DC for many years. That said, the bus has never been filled with just SFdS parishioners. SInce Pro-Life is embraced by many faith traditions, and even by those who don't belong to a church, we've always been blessed to have others join us.
The parish FB page is for people to post items of interest to parishioners. Usually it is events happening at the parish or the school. I was not interested in Ms. LIkovich's protest, so I skimmed by the post. Seems the healthiest was to handle facebook.
I'm kicking myself now that I never thought to use the fb page to spread the word about the Wicomico Right to Life group's "Stand for Life" which takes place every Sunday afternoon, or even as a way to invite parishioners to our monthly committee meetings.
A Pro-Life culture is not just about the unborn and there's so much to do! Get involved. Our parish community has wonderful people volunteering with the homeless, the Eastern Shore Pregnancy Center, the Joseph House, prison ministry, the immigrant community, the elderly, our public schools, food drives, etc.
If you're talking with JUST your wallet, you're missing out! And if you're protesting without helping to serve those for whom you're protesting, you're missing out too.
I'm not active with the immigrant community, so cannot speak to whether some are here illegally or not. Catholic teaching is that there are rights given TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS by our Creator. The Church does not limit access to the services it provides which help promote those rights based on someone's immigration status.
I do know some of their stories are heart wrenching and I've met many Hispanics who are sincerely trying to lift their families out of crushing circumstances. I also know hard-working American citizens who have lost their livelihoods in the building trades to the cheaper cost of illegal labor.
@7:30: What you wrote is true. People who are here illegally, especially children, are among the most exploited in our country. ALL people should be for protecting these little ones.
I don't have answers, but caring for those in our midst AND enforcing our laws with mercy are both acceptable paths according to the Catholic Church.
I'd encourage Catholics who commented above that plan to walk away from this Parish to make your concerns known in a less-public (and less anonymous) way than this to Fr. LaBarge. While I haven't always liked the answers to my questions or understood his reasoning or even agreed with his decisions, I've certainly found him to be approachable.
That the Catholic Church is filled with flawed human beings should surprise no one. And there's really no need to debate it. Matthew Kelly said something like "if you find the perfect church and join it, It's not perfect anymore." True for me.
And if you've read this far and you're one of the "I was raised Catholic & left" commenters above, I invite you to return and join us for worship. There are programs and support for converting and returning adults and families.
Thanks for the opportunity to respond.
I planned to sign my name when I first started typing my comment, but as a quick google search brings up my address and phone number I will not.

8:29 We all know what Labarge's opinion of "good policy" would be and that is why he is off base. What about praying for Jews, atheists etc. He sounds racist and not at all inclusive. He should have just said as he should during every mass all year long to pray for all our elected officials period end of story.
He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. (Deuteronomy 10:18-19)
Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt. (Exodus 23:9)
He asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise." (Luke 10:29-37)
“Then those who are righteous will reply to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and give you clothes to wear? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
“Then the king will reply to them, ‘I assure you that when you have done it for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you have done it for me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me, you who will receive terrible things. Go into the unending fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry and you didn’t give me food to eat. I was thirsty and you didn’t give me anything to drink. I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me. I was naked and you didn’t give me clothes to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
“Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn’t do anything to help you?’ Then he will answer, ‘I assure you that when you haven’t done it for one of the least of these, you haven’t done it for me.’ And they will go away into eternal punishment. But the righteous ones will go into eternal life.”

You are wrong! Chris LeBarge is a moron for pandering to the likes of the Christian Left, WTH that is. If he was a true man of the cloth he would consider the majority of the Parishioners who voted for President Trump instead of sucking up to a few illegal aliens. I am sick and tired of the Majority caving into the minority because of leaders like Chris LeBarge, Obama and that Left Wing Nut Pope Francis.

Let me make myself perfectly clear here, since some of you can't read between the lines.
Father Chris LaBarge clearly states that they have members who may share interest in this event. They simply chose to place this information on their Facebook Page, being FAIR AND BALANCED.
I personally feel they did the right thing. I also support the right to assemble and express your opinions. ANYONE who attends this event who does not support their cause is a hypocrite.
Now I may not agree with them, (the march) but this is their right as Americans. Let them blow off steam.
As for the people who have sent in comments attacking Father Chris LaBarge, your comments will be rejected. Shame on you.
February 9, 2017 at 7:09 AM
Joe you are wrong on this and I don't understand why you don't understand why.
Molly Likovich clears states on her Facebook page that "Here is an updated list of groups/organizations that are attending and official supporters of us: Saint Francis de Sales Parish"
It clearly states that Saint Francis de SSales Parish is attending and is an OFFICIAL SPONSOR of this Marxist event that is an Anti-Trump Protest. Chris LeBarge is a Left Wing Catholic Nutcase and I have known him ever since he got appointed to our Parish. He refuses to post things of interest that truly goes for the Parish and our Parishioners. This is a mistake and we as Parishioners should contact the diocese of Wilmington. They are off base with their view on illegal aliens and we should go over their heads as well. I am sick of this guy and I don't want to leave my faith which has been a part of my family for hundreds of years.
Apparently Chris LeBarge is ok with homosexuality because this Bimbo Molly Likovich is clearly a Leftwing Homo that has a girlfriend and believes in Same Sex marriage. Makes me wonder about his views on what Priests in the Church has done in the past and is paying millions for?? I won't let my sons be around him or any Priest in the Church alone. They all give me the creeps when I see them.
5:12 & Others, I am learning a LOT more about Chris LeBarge and it's not good at all. Mind you, I firmly believe in this groups right to hold this event, LeBarge is a massive Hillary Clinton supporter. I have learned MANY people have left the Church because of him and I do mean many. Now that more people have read this post and comments, I believe they will unfortunately see another large drop of parishioners leaving as well.
We will be addressing more on this matter this weekend.
Joe, you might want to attack every other Mainline Protestant denomination that exists in the area. All of have made official statements based on the biblical call to love and help the stranger, the refugee, and the immigrant. You can easily find their very public statements on their websites. This includes the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Church, and the Presbyterian Church.
Remember, that despite what Fox News says, Jesus was a refugee.
Matthew 2:13-15
When the magi had departed, an angel from the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up. Take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod will soon search for the child in order to kill him.” Joseph got up and, during the night, took the child and his mother to Egypt. He stayed there until Herod died. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: I have called my son out of Egypt.
11:36 the passages you posted are very nice. Thank You for proving what most of the comments are saying. If this is what this priest is teaching then he is nothing more then a pervert. He has perverted the Word of God to fit a sinful agenda. Loving your neighbor and being kind to foreigners does not equate to giving aid to and harboring criminals running from the law no matter how any pervert tries to twist it.
Now not that this should surprise anyone. Of course if the Catholic church is going to harbor pedophiles like they did they will think nothing of harboring and giving aid to those who jumped the border. Sick people.
9:24 I have this priest's number and I would not be encouraging people to go and have an on on one with this wolf in sheeps clothing. He's crafty like all other wolves.
He is promoting people to step into a den where it is perfectly acceptable to kill the unborn. No where in the Bible does it say for people to enable and empower sinners which is what he is promoting.
7:18 Thank you too for posting what you did but it's not at all honest when you choose to completely ignore the most important passage of all about this. No matter how dishonest you people try and be no matter how you try and spin it and lie bout it to go against the government like this is going against GOD. If you don't like what the government is doing you pray for God to change it. That is what the Bible says.! And don't be an insulting ass with your fox news swipe.
Romans 13 1,2
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
@ 7:53 I have to admit that I'm glad those Boston Tea Partiers broke the law and threw some tea into the Boston Harbor to protest unjust laws and taxes. I guess they should have obeyed Romans 13:1-2?
Totally different 8:01. You comparing apples to garlic and it's idiotic.
During that time the US was a new area who a government across the ocean got a hold of and was trying to control. Those people came here to start a new country with a new government on newly settled land. We are not a new country. We have an established government which the Bible clearly says was put in place by God.
Wanna try again?
And the Quakers resisted joining in the Revolution 8:01. This because they were true people of God unlike this phony posing as a man of God and the rest of of the fake christians around. The Bible says no resistance to governing authorities. No real church would ever encourage participating in this event and if they do they are not a real church. End of Story.
Not quite the same 8:01. While under British rule the 13 colonies were given the authority by Britain to elect their own local leaders and to establish provincial governments. God outsmarted Britain in other words. It ended up being these local leaders and the provincial government all put in place by Britain because God had a plan for a new nation-A Christian nation! God created the new authority so they were not rebelling against Him but FOR Him!
7:18. Liar! Jesus was not a refugee. Refugees are unwilling or unable to return to their county. Jesus did return to Israel. (Mt 2:19-23). Also Egypt and Judea were both Roman provinces at the time. That's the equivalent to moving state to state in the Unites States. By the way, Mary and Joseph were going to Bethlehem to be counted in the census and pay their taxes......following the law!
@ 8:35 and 9:00 That's some interesting revisionist history. I just want to make sure I understand this clearly. It's okay to break the law and throw other people's property into the Boston Harbor as long as you are fighting to start a new country? Remember, those same Sons of Liberty also broke into people's homes and stole their wine and also tarred and feathered people who disagreed with them. All of that is exempt from Matthew 13:1-2?
Many Christians would argue that standing up for the immigrant, the refugee, or the foreigner/stranger (as the Bible oftentimes puts it) is a very important commandment because refugees are all God's children. I believe God looks at the refugee families who are fleeing the terrors of the Assad regime and wants nothing more than for them to be saved.
@ 9:36 It looks like Jesus's situation matches perfectly the Webster dictionary definition of a refugee: one that flees; especially: a person who flees to a foreign country or power to escape danger or persecution
Note that is denotes fleeing for safety, which Jesus's family did. Note that it doesn't just say country but also says "power" which matches the Holy Family's situation. They fled the ruler, King Herod, and sought refuge in a safer domain. Also, Jesus and his family were unable to return until Herod died. Many refugees have fled their country and returned after the danger has passed.
Also note, that Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem before Jesus was born and fled to Egypt at a later date. They are not the same situation and that's where Fox News got the story confused.
9:39. Wrong. All refugees are not Gods children. Read your bible. God created everyone but not everyone is a child of God. John 1:12 and 1 John 3:1-10.
Oh what perverts walk among us. Perverting the Word Of God. Apologists for a "priest" who is doing the same. Sick disgusting perverts.
Trying to equate neighbors and foreigners to those who have committed a crime and are hiding and the fake churches and it's perverted people aiding and abetting criminals. The devil is so pleased with you all.
God outwitted the British because He wanted a new Christian nation. God had a hand in the British allowing the colonists to elect their own leaders. The British had no idea God was fooling them. These leaders were appointed and put in place by God Himself on this new land. So no the colonists were not going against their authority. It's that simple and nothing more and nothing less. So yes ALL were most certainly without any doubts exempt BECAUSE God put them in authority. You act like it's rocket science or something.
I don’t see most immigrants as criminals because I know that many of them are trying to flee a terrible situation and make life better for their children. Many Mexicans, for example, reside in areas controlled by cartels. Parents know that when their children reach a certain age they may be conscripted into the cartel. Daughters are oftentimes used as sex slaves by those cartels. I think it is noble that parents want to help their family escape such a fate. The process to do it legally would cost nearly $8000 and take several years. Many poor families don’t have that kind of time or money. People there are oftentimes working full time but only making a dollar an hour. Many others are fleeing in order to put food on their family's table.
The refugees in the Middle East are fleeing an evil dictator whose armies have already killed hundreds of thousands. These people didn’t choose where they were born. They didn’t choose this fate. Just like I didn’t choose to be born into a moderately wealthy family and have a good life because of it. However, I feel that I do have a responsibility to help people like the above families who are suffering. I believe it is what Christ would do. I’m sorry if you see this perspective as a “twisting of scripture” or as a danger to you. I think Christ evidenced it as he stood up for the least, the lost, the poor, and the stranger. He risked his reputation and his life for the “least”. I feel I should do the same.
On this side of the planet, we're all Americans. South Americans, Central Americans, and North Americans.

Thank you Joe for starting to understand and making this follow up post. Chris LeBarge is also a hateful man and I don't think he likes kids in the church. He is definitely a hateful man and yes he is a Hillary supporter. How can anyone in any church that I am to look up to the with the utmost respect support Hillary Clinton after she has been busted lying, cheating, stealing and killing Americans. How can Chris LeBarge, the leader of St. Francis Catholic Church support Muslims and Mexicans over our veterans is beyond me. I can't remember the last time our Parish has said a prayer for or done anything for our veterans. How can Chris LeBarge support Muslims after they murdered and cut off the heads of many Americans and Catholic Priests.
Notice I refused to call him "Father."
Thank you Joe!
It's sad that the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington(where St. Francis gets it's marching orders from) is taking a position to support illegal Mexicans, other Hispanics and Muslims over the American people, especially our veterans. This is despicable!!
Here is part of the reason. Did you know that the Catholic Church is getting paid $2,500 per Muslim refugee it resettles? Yes they do and so does the Jewish Church. It's called GREED!!

If I was catholic and a member of that church, I would find another church even if it meant driving to Berlin or Pocomoke. Churches need to stay out of politics.

The sad thing is they all fall under the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington and the Diocese is promoting bringing in Muslim Refugees and denouncing President Trump. Funny how they didn't go against Obama when he did the exact same thing.

It was wonderful to just receive some kind words, support, and encouragement from colleagues here at SU. It's hurtful when people think they can threaten and scare you and potentially affect your employment. Grateful to be in an environment where diversity and freedom of thought is encouraged. <3 I'm so proud of this movement!
Molly, you have done a superb job of consistently defying the negativity and continuing to emphasize the message of peace and unity! Really looking forward to hanging out with a couple hundred amazing friends next weekend!!

Court Refuses to Reinstate Travel Ban, Dealing Trump Another Legal Loss
The ruling, the first from an appeals court on the travel ban, is likely to be quickly appealed to the short-handed United States Supreme Court.
BY ADAM LIPTAK
"Many refugees have fled their country and returned after the danger has passed"
You are SO not living in the REAL world 10:01. That's the problem. You low information people who think you have a clue.
FYI-The refugee program is a joke. They apply and come here on the refugee status only to run back and forth to where they came from whether the "danger has passed" or not.
Go and look up for yourself so you see with your own eyes the violence refugees are causing all over Europe.
ISIS has said they will and are posing as refugees. At this point in time the UN is vetting refugees. The US is handed and reads over their paperwork and rubber stamps. The ban is temporary until an extreme vetting process done by US officials is put in place.
Let me tell you the REAL story now 11:34. Many of the hispanic/latino illegals here are criminals. When released from a Mexican prison most are bussed to the border towns because Mexico doesn't want them. They also bus their poor to the border towns because Mexico refuses to implement any safety nets for them in the form of welfare benefits. Mexico is a very wealthy country by the way.
So when they are dumped off at the border towns they are desperate. Some agree to smuggle drugs and weapons across the border. Many of the illegals guns in Chicago have been traced to Mexico. Others just cross the border.
Instead we should be forcing the Mexican government to clean up their act and start taking care of their own instead of dumping them like trash on the US. This can be done. The problem is Big Business who wants the cheap labor. This is what is keeping US wages from rising. A steady stream of workers ready willing and able to work for slave wages.
All I can say is that anyone who attends St Francis is wasting their time. No real church leader would ever announce an event put on by those who like to see babies murdered. Let's face it. They get satisfaction knowing it is legal to murder babies. Abortion survivors are kept alive until their little organs can be harvested as per Planned Parenthood official caught on tape and the organizers of this event and those attending enjoy this happening. They find it satisfactory. You can't get anymore uncivilized and primal then they and this so called priest are.
@ 2:21 Firstly, you missed the entire point of that statement you quoted from me. An earlier person argued Jesus wasn’t a refugee because he returned back to Israel and to be called a refugee one can’t return home. I simply refuted that claim using the example that there are many refugees who have returned home after the danger has passed. I wasn’t even talking about the refugee program here. I was talking big picture and throughout history.
Secondly, you called me low-information and then completely mischaracterized and simplified the long vetting process that actually takes place – a process that oftentimes takes more than two years. Here is the vetting process for those who are interested having the real information. 1. Registration with the United Nations. 2. Interview with the United Nations. 3. Refugee status granted by the United Nations. 4. Referral for resettlement in the United States. The United Nations decides if the person fits the definition of a refugee and whether to refer the person to the United States or to another country for resettlement. Only the most vulnerable are referred, accounting for less than 1 percent of refugees worldwide. Some people spend years waiting in refugee camps. 5. Interview with State Department contractors. 6. First background check. 7. Higher-level background check for some. 8. Another background check. The refugee’s name is run through law enforcement and intelligence databases for terrorist or criminal history. Some go through a higher-level clearance before they can continue. A third background check was introduced in 2008 for Iraqis but has since been expanded to all refugees ages 14 to 65. 9. First fingerprint screening; photo taken. 10. Second fingerprint screening. 11. Third fingerprint screening. The refugee’s fingerprints are screened against F.B.I. and Homeland Security databases, which contain watch list information and past immigration encounters, including if the refugee previously applied for a visa at a United States embassy. Fingerprints are also checked against those collected by the Defense Department during operations in Iraq. 12. Case reviewed at United States immigration headquarters. 13. Some cases referred for additional review. Syrian applicants must undergo these two additional steps. Each is reviewed by a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services refugee specialist. Cases with “national security indicators” are given to the Homeland Security Department’s fraud detection unit. 14. Extensive, in-person interview with Homeland Security officer. Most of the interviews with Syrians have been done in Jordan and Turkey. 15. Homeland Security approval is required. 16. Screening for contagious diseases. 17. Cultural orientation class. 18. Matched with an American resettlement agency. 19. Multi-agency security check before leaving for the United States. Because of the long amount of time between the initial screening and departure, officials conduct a final check before the refugee leaves for the United States. 20. Final security check at an American airport.
That doesn't look like a "rubber stamp" to me....
3:05 Jesus went to Egypt freely and legally....it was part of the Roman Empire. He was not there against the law.
@4:32 I don't think I said anywhere Jesus was an illegal refugee. He was simply a refugee. It wouldn't matter to me either way. Jesus's family was fleeing an insane lunatic who was killing all the children in the region who were two years old and younger. I would have wanted those children to escape to wherever they could find safety whether it was illegal for them to do so or not.
i can not speak for anyone other then those form mexico and s america. the truth is none really want to be here. they do not be here to make a better life for their children as americans like to have this pretty fantasy. 228 speaks the truth. we are here because mexico does not provide if you are poor. you work here and send the money home so our family can survive. its not that we don't like it here its just that it is not home. we want to be on our homeland with our families our big families who are missed many both ways. my friends grandmother in mexico fell and broke a hip bone. she went to hosptial and given 10 pills and made to go home in bad pain until she had 1200$ to pay for surgury. my friend had to get money from all over friends to send back because for 5 days the grandmother and family hadn't gone to sleep due to very bad pain. if he hadn't been here to work she would never get well.
americans do not understand the complications of it all. please do not feel it is not that we do not love americans and your country but it is not our homeland. we want to stay home. we hate leaving. our hearts are broke. mexico is home our home. please i ask i beg make president trump do something so mexicans who have little money can stay in mexico can stay home with family and friends and not have to be separated. family dies and its so sad we have not seen them in years. children never know grandparents aunt unclies know cousins. it is too sad. we want to be home. we miss our home as every one else thank you and god bless
People in favor of this stupid rally/protest are seriously confused. Yes, we're are supposed to care for alien, the stranger and the sojourner, but the Church has always supported obedience to just laws passed to protect citizens of a country. Border enforcement is the right of the elected government. The troubles in Germany and Sweden now because of the flood of economic opportunists (largely young Muslim men) are many: rape, sexual assault and the menacing of young women. Angela Merkel, doing Obama's bidding, unleashed a flood of trouble on an ill-prepared Germany and Germans are paying the price. Is that what these ninnies want? The same thing here?
All the jerks showing up to make noise at this thing next Saturday, where are they when Planned Parenthood snuffs out the lives of countless American babies every day? Ho hum, they shrug. A woman's right to choose. Well, one day they will be forced to account for their indifference. Payday's coming.
Thank you Catholic Parishioner Eve Frost for have the courage to speak out against the criminal Priest Chris LeBarge for inviting the Parishioners of Saint Francis de Sales Catholic Church to participate in this political protest against President Trump. Chris LeBarge is a criminal who is harboring known illegal aliens through this church. This is a crime and he should report it if anything.

7:06. Jesus was not a refugee. Just because he traveled 60 miles to another area to avoid danger doesn't make him a refugee. Also, scripture is very clear about folllowing laws....whether YOU agree with them or not.

That is absolutely correct, being a traveler doesn't mean you are a refugee or and illegal alien.
Saint Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church is breaking the law and these priest have known all along that the hundreds of Mexicans they have been supporting are illegal aliens and some even illegal fugitives, but they ignored the law.
I hope that ICE raids one of our Catholic Masses held in Spanish and you will see what happens. If ICE waited till Mass was over and caught them as they were coming out the door then you will see them try to stay inside while Chris Lebarge blocks entry into the church. Then HOPEFULLY Chris LeBarge will get locked up. As a Parishioner of Saint Francis that is something I could enjoy watching and supporting. I would also clap when they walked him off in hand cuffs!
Amen Eve Frost!! Thank you for having more balls then any of the men of the Parish!

11:36 the passages you posted are very nice. Thank You for proving what most of the comments are saying. If this is what this priest is teaching then he is nothing more then a pervert. He has perverted the Word of God to fit a sinful agenda. Loving your neighbor and being kind to foreigners does not equate to giving aid to and harboring criminals running from the law no matter how any pervert tries to twist it.
Now not that this should surprise anyone. Of course if the Catholic church is going to harbor pedophiles like they did they will think nothing of harboring and giving aid to those who jumped the border. Sick people.

It is not your home so carry your ass back to your home you non-English speaking peasant! Who the Hell gave you the authority to come to our country to steal our free education, health care, food and welfare benefits? WHO?? You and your people are nothing more than parasites, FREAKING CRIMINALS!! Who the Hell gave you the idea that we are here to support you!!
I wasn't put on this earth to support you or your lazy freeloading families so pack your bags and go back to "your home." I have no pity for criminals and I have no pity for you. I am living pay check to pay check so I can support you thieves instead of providing properly for my own children. Please God take these freeloading criminals back across our Southern borders.
To you illegal Mexicans... Screw your anchor babies and take them with you. I can't stand criminals like you that intentionally cross our borders to have a baby just to get free medical care food stamps.
I think you should do very hard time breaking rocks before we deport you!
Bottom line St Francis is not a real church and this LaBarge is most certainly not a real man of God. Not by anyone's stretch of the imagination. He can lie all day long about it but the proof is in the Bible for all to see with their own eyes.
They are aiding and abetting criminals and the worst part is they have convinced others to sin against the Bible and God. These are the worst kind of people imaginable.
To step foot in that so called church only means you are stepping into the den of satan.
The point is 99.9 percent of foreigners really don't want to be here and that is true. Most of these so call immigrant 'advocates' are complete clueless and utterly ignorant as is this "priest" and his apologists. Most immigrants here legal and illegal look at the "advocates" as the gullible fools that they are. Like the democrat fools who got themselves all jazzed up over the idea of reduced tuition for immigrants. The well informed who were against it knew it was not anything to argue over. The vast majority of mexican and latin american children in this country will not attend college and if the parents had their way they would pull them out of elementary school which many do. They are here to work and send money back HOME so maybe one day they can return and live a someone comfortable life. Only the braindeads example being LaBarge falls and repeat ad nauseum about "living the American dream." They think because they've talked to 2 immigrants in their lives they are experts. I guarantee LeBarge and the rest have never ever had a real heart to heart honest talk with an immigrant because an immigrant won't do it or will rarely to only those they trust completely. They are hear to fool the foolish is the bottom line.
9:09 Sorry that you are having it rough here. It's tough being homesick. But your Mexico is a dump because your politicians are crooks, ever since the Masons took over your government in the 1920s. I'm sympathetic, but we have laws and if you're here illegally, go back. If you were born here because your parents sneaked across the border and never got themselves straight with this government, I'd support legislation to fast-track your citizenship as long as you have a good educational track record and you can work hard. But breaking American immigration law is wrong and the law-breakers should be deported.
As far as trying to get the clergy of St Francis to support Americans before illegals, forget it. Their minds are closed. And this appears to go all the way through the Bishop to the present Pope. These are dark days in the Church, but she'll survive and come out stronger in God's good time. Meanwhile, I'll read the writings of good Popes and St Thomas Aquinas and I know truth from falsehood, and will not roll over for a lie, no matter who is pushing down my throat.
To even make the suggestion that Jesus was a refugee is well...asinine.
The holy family fled to Egypt which was part of the Roman Empire like Israel was. The move from Judea to Egypt is like someone now moving from California to Texas. They were not refugees.
"The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel"
Proverbs 12:10.
It is ironic how previous administration funded "Christian" agencies with multi-million dollar grants to resettle and otherwise assist refugees brought into the US. It is estimated to cost 12x as much to bring a refugee to the developed world (EU and US) as it would to aid them in their own country or another of the same language, religion and culture.
Catholic Charities, The Baptist Child and Family Agency and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services are the prime offenders. Obama effectively co-opted and silenced the "church" from opposing their "mission" of subversion. Note the acronym for the Lutheran agency, LIaRS! You can't make this up! God has a way of revealing the treachery of subversion disguised as compassion.
When has it been that being the hands and feet of Christ has been so profitable while importing persons of low job skills and among them political Islamists, who pose a clear and present and proven danger to Americans.
What makes the human tragedy more convicting is that our government has had a policy (especially the obama admin) of destabilizing the Middle East, replacing secular Arab governments with fundamentalist Muslim regimes or failed terror states.
Correct 2:06. Herod was appointed by the Roman Senate to be King of Judea which was part of the Roman Empire controlled by Emperor Augustus. It's disingenuous to suggest Jesus was a refugee because people were free to come and go within the Roman Empire. There were no laws preventing. Herod's position would be similar to today's governors and mayors.
What would happen to American illegal aliens down in Mexico? What if they went to a Mexican Catholic church and asked for help so they could stay there and work without a visa? Would they be encouraged to dupe the Mexican government and evade the Federales by the local priests? Would the churches their hand out little cards telling the illegals what to say if they are accosted by Mexican Immigration police?
Would the Mexican citizens look kindly on being called selfish bigots by their priests, for demanding the illegals be returned to el Norte? Would Mexicans show up at shelters and soup kitchens to feed the illegal Norte Americanos? What do think they'd do to an American who killed a Mexican by drunken driving?
So why do churches here insist we do what no one else would for us?
3:05 Sounds good but the fact is rubberstamping is all that is occurring. This because there is no way to properly vet refugees or anyone else coming from the countries named in the travel ban. Some of the countries have no government. They are lawless and overrun with Muslim terrorists. They don't have records of crimes someone may have committed as people aren't even arrested. There is no way to even tell for sure if someone is who they claim they are as no birth records or any other are issued. These people don't have drivers licenses, school records or anything else. These are 3rd world countries.
The Somalian refugee who orchestrated the OH state attack real age couldn't even be determined.
The other countries are sponsors of terrorism. You can not trust those countries to not load terrorists up with fake pristine records so vetting as it's done now is useless. It needs an extreme overhaul.
Then when the refugees get here many are running back to where they came from and back to the US fairly regularly. The Boston bomber Tsarnaev brothers and their family came over as refugees. The brother and the mother were constantly running back to Chechnya a country where terrorists are known to reside. Why if they were so afraid they fled they are running back and forth. This has to stop too. The whole program needs an extreme overhaul and that is what the President plans to do and will do. If anyone doesn't agree with him on that they are nuts. Just look at the massive amount of crimes the refugees are committing in every single country in the EU. We need a lot of things in this country and more crime isn't one of them.
So, 7:36 AM, by your logic no one should have opposed slavery? Legal abortions? Just follow all laws no matter how wrong they may be? I'm not down with that logic at all.
"Tons of garbage from the bible" what a lovely statement. My bible is the word of God and the Word of God is not "tons of garbage"
Was God okay with slavery? Was holding other humans as property part of His plan?
The immigrant whisperer speaks! Telling us all what millions of individuals are thinking! The immigrant whisperer knows!
Not if they are illegal.
Christian church and Catholic Church are two different things. Catholics do not necessarily follow the total words of the Bible. They believe in government providing welfare to the needy. That is against God's word
Don't be an idiot, they're referring to Legal US citizenship
Thou shalt not bear false witness.

I would not go so far as to say it isn't a real church. It is and always has been a real church and I will fight for my faith. Now we have had some questionable Priests in the past and Chris LeBarge is one of them. Notice I refuse to call him Father just like I refused to call Obama President.
Now as far as them "aiding and abetting criminals I do agree with that.
When a Catholic Church in Salisbury has to have a separate Mass in Spanish only then that is a problem. If they can't speak English or haven't assimilated yet then it makes me think they are illegally and breaking the law. ICE are you paying attention!!
The number of "parishioners" posting who don't know your Pastor's name is LaBarge not LeBarge makes me think this is a NOT a Catholic uprising, but fake news from the Catholic bashers. Shame on you. Bearing false witness means something to God.
I am a life-long Catholic and have been attending the Mass a St Francis as well as other local Catholic Churches for years. I have had great spiritual struggles tolerating Priests (and laypersons) like Fr LaBarge. The other priest there (Weissman) is just as bad. I don't know about the new young guy. He seems more educated, well-read and likely has his head and heart in the right place.
After Nelson Mandela died, I was there when he (LaBarge) and his Deacon declared aloud "what a great man Mandela was for peace in our world" and then they offered intercessory prayers for him. I know we should pray for our enemies and I often do - but that they become saved and accept God and Jesus - NOT put them upon a mantle and celebrate them-Mandela was a murderous Communist thug who, with his wife, used the rebound from the injustices of Apartheid to commit far greater injustices and enrich themselves through murder and theft while pushing SA into a totalitarian Communist state.
Do these people like LaBarge not read or understand anything about history or are they just slaves of the mainstream media and their masters above them? Or are they really sinister destroyers working inside the Church? - the ones that we are warned of in the Bible. Does the truth not mean anything to those designated as our spiritual leaders? Or are they the new Pontius Pilate, who said to our Christ.. "Truth , what is that?"
There is clearly a long term ongoing movement inside the Church/Catholic religion to undermine it and ultimately destroy it. The priests, bishops and cardinals have been in an unholy alliance with powers ( the Globalist Left) that hate America's Christian values and strength and know very well the origins of our strength is in our Faith and our Families. Both have been targets for generations and now it's coming to a precipice !
I recall even back to the 70's and 80's many examples of the Catholic Church bias against our God-given natural rights enumerated clearly and simply in the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. The Church would hold strongly to the un-born's Right to Life, but openly support policies that have always led to state-directed mass murder ( Gun Control). The right to defend oneself and others against unjust aggression is foundational to Liberty and a safe and moral society. Communism /Globalism is using every soft spot and weakness in our faith to destroy us - 'turn the other cheek' included.
There was a time long ago I would think what I am writing here is "way out there" and I thought people like Fr. LaBarge and Leftist Catholics were just ill-informed well-meaning people. A lifetime of experience and research tells me otherwise. This is all deliberate, and there are a lot of "sheep" just following along (and they are not being 'sheep' of our real shepherd Christ, but of false prophets.
No wonder so many Catholics are flocking back the Traditional Mass in Latin and the moral and spiritual elements that accompany it.
Ask yourself, what (really) happened to Pope Benedict and placed Francis (an admitted Marxist Liberation Theology proponent) into the position ???
Good Americans ( Catholic,Protestants, or otherwise), get yourselves ready ! spiritually and physically .. It's time to wake up.
These events are clearly part of the counter-attack against the election of Trump. He and what he stands for represents a very big wrench being thrown into the gears of the machine being run to ultimately undermine our nation's freedoms and faith.
