Strangers No Longer: Together on the Journey of Hope (SNL) is the title of a 2003 pastoral letter issued jointly by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and their counterparts in Mexico. We will now turn to an analysis of this document.
In his 1984 book American Democracy & the Vatican: Population Growth & National Security, author Stephen D. Mumford noted, “Americans…are also aware that 90 percent of all illegal immigrants are Roman Catholic.”[1] Granted, these are old numbers and may not reflect the current religious affiliation of the millions of illegal aliens who have entered the United States during the Biden Administration. Nevertheless, Roman Catholics remain a significant portion of the aliens, legal and illegal, currently pouring across America’s borders.
Drawing on the dogmas outlined in Pope Pius XII’s 1952 Apostolic Constitution Exsul Familia Nazarethana, SNL can be seen as Rome’s irredentist battle plan to conquer America for the Roman Church-State using illegal immigration as one of its principal weapons. Rome’s approach to illegal immigration can be summarized thus: get ‘em in, keep ‘em in, put ‘em on the dole, legalize ‘em.
