Archdiocease: Mexicans Who Build Trump’s Wall are ‘Immoral’


The Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico published some harsh words against Donald Trump this week. Not only did they call him a “fanatic” — they also called any Mexican willing to help with the wall “immoral.”

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexicans who help build U.S. President Donald Trump’s planned border wall would be acting immorally and should be deemed traitors, the Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico said on Sunday, turning up the heat on a simmering dispute over the project.

In a provocative editorial, the country’s biggest Archdiocese sought to increase pressure on the government to take a tougher line on companies aiming to profit from the wall, which has strained relations between Trump and the Mexican government.

“Any company intending to invest in the wall of the fanatic Trump would be immoral, but above all, its shareholders and owners should be considered traitors to the homeland,” said the editorial in Desde la fe, the Archdiocese’s weekly publication.

On Tuesday, Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo warned firms it would not be in their “interests” to participate in the wall. But the editorial accused the government of responding “tepidly” to those eyeing the project for business.

A spokesman for the Archdiocese, which centers on Mexico City and is presided over by the country’s foremost Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Norberto Rivera, said the editorial represented the views of the diocese.

Maybe the Mexican Archdiocese should have called their friends up at the Vatican before they attacked the wall Trump wants to build. They might not acknowledge it publically, but walls have been protecting them for hundreds of years.
