It's an ecclesiastical attitude. The church cannot have two patriarchs.

I react with skepticism and reservations. This is a violation of the church's status quo, because each church has its territory and other churches cannot interfere.

Law is order in liberty, and without order liberty is social chaos.

We cannot be indifferent to laws that make criminals of 12 million immigrants or those who help them. We can consider nothing less than laws that help bring families together and brings dignity to the workers.

God wants to save us in a people. He does not want to save us in isolation. And so today's church more than ever is accentuating the idea of being a people. The church therefore experiences conflicts, because it does not want a mass; it wants a people. A mass is a heap of persons, the drowsier the better, the more compliant the better. The church rejects communism's slander that it is the opium of the people. It has no intention of being the people's opium. Those that create drowsy masses are others. The church wants to rouse men and women to the true meaning of being a people. What is a people? A people is a community of persons where all cooperate for the common good.

The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool.
