If there's one insulting thing, it's how the Left picks and chooses when it does and doesn't like Christianity. When it comes to abortion or gay marriage, the Left wants Christians to keep their Bible passages to themselves. The state, on the other hand, can force religious persons to participate in abortions or punish them for not adequately celebrating gay marriage.
That's (D)ifferent.
But their favorite topic on which to use Christianity as a cudgel is illegal immigration. They somehow think the immigration laws in ancient, Roman-ruled Judea and Galilee are equivalent to ours today.
Minneapolis Police Chief on ICE raids against illegal immigrants: "Having been raised a Catholic, I cannot help but think of what is happening today and how that echoes with how outsiders have been treated. Mary and Joseph themselves were forced to stay in a barn!" pic.twitter.com/UspOXii0RG

Any time someone begins a sentence with, "Having been raised a Catholic" you know what follows is theologically illiterate at best and downright blasphemous at worst.
The good Chief's statement was somewhere in between. Joseph and Mary weren't outsiders, and they weren't "forced" to stay in a barn. They returned to Joseph's hometown of Bethlehem, the city of David in Judea, for the census. He was following the law. So were many others, which is why there was no room at any lodging, and they had to stay in the barn. It had nothing to do with being unwelcome or discriminated against.
Everything he said about the Bible was wrong

Literally everything. We're surprised he got "Joseph" and "Mary" correct.
I was raised a Catholic, but converted to Wokeism, and I have a bone to pick with the way the Romans conducted their census.

That's a more charitable way of saying that.
Having been raised as a Catholic, resign.

Yes, this.
How abhorrent and humiliating this Minneapolis Police Chief refuses to do his job and has allowed these pedophiles and rapists terrorize Minneapolis and hurt the very people he swore an oath to protect.

They're just like Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Not.
Liberals: Keep your religion out of my government!

Also liberals: Here's my stupid bastardization of religion and I'm going to try to use it as a weapon of my agenda for government.

All of this.
“Raised Catholic” is code for “long ago rejected Catholicism and don’t really know anything about it.”

Sadly, this kind of saccharine, brain-dead take on the demands of Christian charity is more or less what our bishops routinely spew. https://t.co/Vt5UsYjzP3
"And I believe I have more authority than the Pope, Catholic doctrine, and American federal law."
