So if he’d done this before the election, how many of the Central and South American immigrants and their families who voted for Trump because of their morals, would have gone our way instead?

And if the answer is “enough to have made this Amerimaidan stuff unnecessary”, then why is it he insisted on waiting two more weeks to say it?

He said it when he did based on the church calendar - Christ The King Sunday, the last Sunday of Pentecost before Advent 1 next week. This, in itself, is a good thing. He is not interested in playing with our secular & temporal issues.

That said, it is, theologically, a step he should have taken last year when he made the initial declaration for the year of mercy.

Still this is a really important long term change.

My grandfather was forced out of his job at 60 something. He’d been badly injured earlier in life and so could not return to being a farmer. Left with nothing he lost his will and committed suicide. As a Catholic he would not have been able to be buried in consecrated ground but the family priest just took my grandmother by the hand and said, don’t worry, he wasn’t in his right mind. They are side by side in that little church yard for all the time that matters.

What does that have to do with Trump at all?

Also, eating pork is OK. But try telling that to hundreds of millions…
