I seem to remember him mentioning it in one of his posts.
ETA: What happened is that I assumed he was Catholic, as he was a Hispanic Christian. When I mentioned it in passing, he didn't correct me:
Quote:It's a nice post; Christians have been dealing with the concept of "in-group/out-group" since the writing of the Book of Acts and one that we thankfully got sorted out pretty quickly; rejecting the insular and ethno-centric legal beliefs of Rabbinic/Pharisaic Judaism and instead embracing an ideology that allowed all ethnicities and women to be both welcomed into the fold and gave them a prominent role in the faith.
The Catholic Church is doing everything it can to provide support to those at the border; unfortunately most border Catholic communities are significantly economically struggling themselves and the broader Church has been barely keeping itself afloat.
You don’t have to be Catholic to be an arsehole, but it certainly helps.
