After her son’s crucifixion, the grieving Mary sorrowfully cradled her son. Her mourning was a common theme in religious art known as “Pietà”. The most famous “Pietà” is Michelangelo’s statue in St. Peter’s Basilica.

For all those self-declared Christians who witnessed the abduction of children from their mothers by ICE only to be locked in cages, I ask: What would Mary have said? What Jesus would have said is written in the Bible:

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

The children mentioned above came from Christian South American countries. It would appear that soon the sea floor will be covered with millstones.

This Republican administration claims severe measures were taken against immigrants because “they’re taking our manufacturing jobs, they’re taking our money”. So how does the head of this administration justify having products with the family name being manufactured in places like China and Indonesia?

And I am still waiting for those who call themselves “Pro-Life” to justify their lack of outrage.
