This is how leaders should respond to atrocities like this.

Not our leaders apparently.
sadly some of the WWJD crowd seems to be MIA...
It will get shut down soon yet Maga talks about making a point in the meantime -- that people should leave on their own. But what is the point since such torturous inhumane third world punishment will always be just a bluff in America? Why become criminal perpetrators for such a brief circus? Weird.
Welp it’s good for both sides. He’s now free to endorse a Democrat by name!
Don’t trust him. 🤷♂️ Too little - too late.
There's a special place in hell for those smug little shits smiling in front of that sign. Their greatest accomplishment was being born in America to white parents. That's it, the sum total of their superiority.
The Catholic Church needs to formally excommunicate Tom Homan and JD Vance for their integral roles in these atrocities.
That photo on the right of the MAGA father spreading that poison to his daughter is the worst thing I’ve seen today. Condoning what is tantamount to torture on people, human beings, without due process, and for what amounts to a civil violation (NOT a criminal violation) is evil.
Did this “archbishop” condemn Obama for deporting illegal aliens? How about Biden? Bush? Did this “archbishop” condemn Clinton for signing the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform Act into law (you know, the very law that Trump and ICE are enforcing)?!?
Since Trump says religious institutions can talk politics from the pulpit the Catholic institutions, like in this example, should do it 24x7.
He actually wants to get into heaven someday…… wish all the other so called “Christians” did too.
Pope? Pope? You still there?
Seems some Catholics are going to have to chose! Their God or the Evangelical hypocrites that follow nothing but lies, hate, vile and anything their special convicted felons orders!
About time the Pope weighted in as well - unlike in WW2.
"Your money perish with you." There's no improving on the classics.
This Bishop took the easy way out in his so-called admonishment how administration is handling immigration. Human beings are being kept in cages men, women and children,families are being separated. He is calling for immigration reform, but not the immediate halt to concentration camp down the road
If you have a friend or family member in alligator Alcatraz please fill out this form so Florida ethics committee can start an investigation. Don’t forget to notarize before mailing in.
MAGA = the real satan worshipers.
It's great to see the Archbishop speaking out. The level of hatred and inhumanity at the moment is truly distributing. We need voices of compassion.

Thing is, talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words however...
Kind of makes up for the catholic church the last time around, with that Austrian painter guy.
Criminal organization criticizes criminal organization.
I’ve always felt the Catholic Church had failed to excommunicate those who should be. Way back (my lifetime) into Ireland. It continues. Of course, they support the coverup of pedophalia.
Agreed - leaders should all be responding this way to the vileness of this administration. From the photo - The absolute scum of a human that you would have to be to bring your daughter there and wave a flag to support kidnapping and torture. Just mind boggling. His followers are so evil.
I thought the same thing about that picture! What kind of a father does that??!? I’m probably better off not knowing. . .
Maybe he has seen the degradation of our society. People selling merchandise & taking pictures is not what Christ would have done. And if you are one to tell me " how do I know?" Please just go away and read the new testament. Beginning to end, please - not in evangelical bits and pieces.
Jesus would chase most modern Republicans with a whip.
He’d be flipping all their tables.
Think hard about giving a step up to religious “authority”/“leadership”. The religious mindset is why we have trump in the first place. You don’t need religion or a religious “leader” to tell you that this bullshit is wrong.
German Nazis, US Nazis, Russian Nazis or Israeli Nazis - Alcatraz or "Humanity city" are all concentration camps. Nazis like it!
So, they're converting people who were contributing to the economy into a drain on the economy—which, i'm sure, they will soon complain about.
The archbishops are part of the reason we’re in this position! So many parishioners were told to vote Trump.
You spelled Auschwitz wrong
Could the archbishop deny entry to church services for any ice or others that are involved with the immigration prison?
Because now it's OK for churches to express political views without IRS issues amirite?
Opposing torture and murder are not “political views.”
I'm glad the stupid fascists are marking themselves in their photos with this idiotic sign.
You know ICE does not have a fleet of busses at the ready to evacuate their extremely publicize facility if a hurricane hits The place floods with just minor rains image what will happen when a hurricane blows through Thousands drowned in their cages
That is their “Final Solution”
Alligator Auschwitz
This is a disaster(er) waiting to take place. My gods, I'm half sick waiting to hear that there's been a mass casualty event there, because all it's going to take is one mildly irritated tropical storm. If the everglades weren't stupidly dangerous, rich people would already live there.
💯💯💯💯💯
I would like to see the Pope take it upon himself to visit .. unannounced .. with a camera crew 🙏 🤞
He did exactly what Francis told them (the bishops) to do in his letter last year. Given the stance on this of Leo XIV is clear that not saying that could have had him removed
We need all of the leaders of churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious and spiritual paths to get on some buses and go down to the concentration camp and hold a vigil until it is abolished. This is the way!
Those people with the flag make me 🤮& 🤬
His solution is for everyone to pray for our government? Seriously???
Beautiful post! Many thanks for gathering facts, truth
I'd watch out if I was JD Vance, this new Pope might just excommunicate his ass. He's not exactly advocating the values of Christ after all.

I'm glad he's speaking up; more need to follow suit.
The media should be taking their cameras into Alligator Alcatraz so the world can see what's really going on inside Trump's and his administration's concentration camp‼️
They're not allowed. Prisoners' lawyers are not even allowed.
This is great, and although I'm not Catholic (or Christian) I definitely applaud his denunciation. And let's have a surprise visit by legislators at the site with video coverage and unimpeded interviews of the prisoners.
Thank you Archbishop Thomas Wenski for speaking up for immigrants. If religious leaders just preach but turn a blind eye to injustice then it’s like the priest or Levite in Luke’s gospel the Good Samaritan that passed by the man lying in the road. More in religious sector need to talk to talk.
The pope is the leader of my church unless he confronts my racism and hatred, in which case my political views take precedence, says a catholic.
