Specifically it was the long balls comment by Theo @aynrandy.boontavista.com that did the most damage, as Sarah just reminded me.

Father Dowling is pulling no punches in his written statement. This is a direct reference to Luke 23:34. He is equating ICE with those who crucified Jesus.

Anyone raised Catholic will recognize the power of his words.

Full statement (with alt text added):

I had the privilege this morning of leading a Eucharistic Procession from St. Eulalia Church in Maywood, IL to the ICE Detention Center in Broadview. We went to pray and have a few of us clergy and religious women bring Holy Communion and the love of the Christian community to the men and women detained there under inhumane conditions.

Over 1,000 Catholics and other Christians marched in peaceful prayer and song, facilitated by the Maywood and Broadview Police Departments and the Illinois State Police. I cannot speak more highly of these public safety officers in providing us safe passage.

Upon arrival, it was a different story. There were no ICE or Federal representatives there. When requesting to talk with a representative from Homeland Security and ICE, the State Police reached out on our behalf to make the request over the phone, After a brief wait, the answer came back very clearly:

NO, YOU CANNOT BRING A HINT OF COMPASSION AND PRAYER INTO THIS PLACE!

NO, YOU CANNOT OFFER ANY SOLACE TO THE MEN AND WOMEN FEARFUL AND SUFFERING INSIDE!

NO, YOU CANNOT BRING JESUS, THE SON OF GOD. THE LOVE OF GOD. INTO THIS PLACE!

No one had the courage to speak directly to us.

No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.

What we have been able to do for detainees for the past several years, which is written into Illinois law, was refused by this current Federal Government.

"Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing."
"Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing. Touch their hearts and transform them from stony hearts into fleshy, life-giving hearts."
"Only through, with and in God will hearts be changed!"

The battle for hearts and minds, compassion and mercy, continues...
Please pray especially for the children, for the mothers and fathers who are being treated inhumanely.

Please step up and speak out.

Silence is supporting this abuse of these members of God's family.

Peace! Fr. Larry Dowling

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?
