So much for obeying laws & protecting national sovereignty: Archbishop Marchetto says those who enter the country illegally should not be called 'illegal' migrants, saying "no other word is worse for us" and claming that "this criminalization of irregular migrants is something wrong" [Refresher: "Take pains to impress on the Christian people a due obedience and subjection to rulers and governments. Do this by teaching, in accordance with the warning of the Apostle, that all authority comes from God. Whoever resists authority resists the ordering made by God Himself, consequently achieving his own condemnation; disobeying authority is always sinful except when an order is given which is opposed to the laws of God and the Church." (Pope Pius IX, "Qui Pluribus", 1846)] [6/5]
