E193: Is Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Un-Christian? w/Fr Ambrose
The Lila Rose Show
With President Trump’s latest executive order cracking down on illegal immigration, many Christians are asking: What would Jesus do? Where do we draw the line between compassion and protecting our nation and families? Today, I sit down with Fr. Ambrose Criste, a Norbertine priest and theologian, to break down the Catholic perspective on this heated issue. We explore the U.S. Bishops’ response, Pope Francis’ stance, and J.D. Vance’s strong critique of the Bishops. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss—because the answer isn’t as black and white as some would have you believe. Let’s talk about it.
