To the editor: I am appealing to Christians in Los Angeles and those who were raised Christians and still have good values to speak against these cruel incursions (“A crisis of faith: ice raids force some churches to take” extraordinary “, July 11). The Bible tells us that we take care of strangers. Undocumented immigrants must be treated as individuals with a history and due to due process. They must have legal status after years in this country. The American Catholic Bishops Conference He has declared that many are only here illegally due to our broken immigration system and Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the USCCB, said that mass deportations “represent a deep social crisis before which no person of good will can remain silent.”
Each individual in this country has the right to life, freedom and the search for happiness. We are seeing the life of good people destroyed by racists who only care about themselves and not for their neighbors or our country. A true Christian is not full of hate. The commandment of Jesus is to love our neighbors as ourselves, and those of us who strive to be true Christians we must speak now and act to protect and protect the less of these: our immigrant neighbors, co -workers and friends.

To the editor: I regret that my Catholics are afraid to go to Mass in person, but I understand their fear. For those who have a computer, there may be one thing that can help.
At the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemia, the Catholic community of Santa Monica invested in many television teams and transmitted the Sunday Mass online. It was so popular that it continues. People from all over the country tune in because they like the community.
