Statement Signed by 100 Communist Clergy Demand J6 Prisoners Rot While Illegal Aliens Stay
A group of progressive clergy and rainbow-splattered religious activists have hijacked the already unbiblical celebration of “Lent” to push a blatantly leftist political agenda, a thinly veiled leftist activist manifesto framed as a "return to Jesus."
The document, titled Returning to Jesus: Practicing Lent In Our Time and signed by 100 progressive clergy and leaders, reads more like a Democratic National Committee policy memo than any genuine Christian reflection, slamming immigration enforcement, economic policy, and even criminal justice reforms that they deem "unjust."
The statement begins with the usual spiritual platitudes, invoking Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness to set the stage for what quickly devolves into an attack on policies that don’t align with their leftist worldview.
"In the deluge and whirlwind of this administration’s initial actions," it states, "we see the brutal abandonment and targeting of the people Jesus commands his followers to serve and protect."
What "brutal abandonment" are they talking about? The deportation of illegal aliens and the refusal to coddle violent criminals. In other words, enforcing laws is now persecution. Noted.
This manifesto is nothing more than a theological battering ram against conservative policies. The authors whine about "the stranger" being deported (illegal aliens), "the imprisoned" being left behind (violent criminals), and "the hungry" being neglected (a thinly veiled excuse to demand more bloated government welfare programs). They rip Matthew 25 from its biblical context, twisting "I was a stranger and you welcomed me" into a prooftext for open borders and mass amnesty.
According to this deeply delusional logic, Jesus is apparently a lobbyist for sanctuary cities, and opposition to taxpayer-funded government handouts is a sign of unrepentant wickedness.
The list of signatories is a roll call of every progressive, theologically compromised figurehead in American Christianity—a coalition of heretics, social justice activists, and outright frauds. Among them, of course, is Raymond Chang, founder of the Asian American Christian Collaborative, and an ally of Russell Moore’s incessant push for open borders in America.
