Obvious point here. If you are saying "mass" and 'Church" and "priest". Then you are in a religion with a central governing body that probably insists you don't beat people down and shoot them.

Not sure he's going to be happy just switching buildings.

As always, anyone can interpret the bible any way, and there is no way to verify which is correct.

So we get catholics like this:

"Despite what some Church leaders in America have indicated, a faithful Catholic can support strong and humane immigration law enforcement — by means such as physical barriers, detention and deportation — without violating the teaching of the Church," the report states.

And this:

“Political leaders should stop stirring up resentment against officers who are endeavoring to enforce the laws of the country,” he continued. “And protestors should cease interfering with the work of ICE.”

Exactly. Everyone has their own personal interpretation that reflects what they want it to and then they project that onto people they want to call "real" Christians.

People use it to argue opposite points constantly.

If that wasn't possible it wouldn't still be around.
