To deport or not to deport? by CatholicVote
To deport or not to deport? Catholics, Trump, and illegal immigration… It’s the issue most likely to immediately divide the new Trump administration and our Church – at least with some bishops, the USCCB, Catholic charities, and some Catholic voters who believe enforcing the law is too harsh. What can we expect? First, some history… Did you know Barack Obama deported over 3 million illegal immigrants during his first term?

Then according to that criteria, these women definitively shouldn’t be there because they don’t fit that false and utterly mistaken narrative. Some women are only considered conventionally outwardly attractive; while others are radiantly beautiful both inside and out. It appears that the vast majority of consecrated religious women qualify as being the latter. Outward appearance is fleeting and fading; inner attributes are strong and stable. The peace, joy, and love of the Lord that illuminates their inner soul bursts forth shining brightly throughout their outward semblance. The best beauty regiment for the soul is prayer, meditation, and self-sacrifice. The body dies and decays; the soul lives on forever. God bless more young women to fulfill their God-given vocation as Sisters and Nuns, Brides of Christ.
