The EWTN News portal (May 12, 2026) reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) — the episcopal assembly of the conciliar sect in the United States — has formally opposed two proposed Trump administration regulatory changes: one from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that would eliminate prorated federal housing assistance for “mixed-status” families containing illegal immigrants, and another from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that would impose a one-year waiting period on work authorization for asylum seekers. The USCCB’s public comments invoke “Catholic social teaching,” the “inherent dignity of every human person,” the “right to work,” the “preferential option for the poor,” and the “Gospel’s call to welcome the stranger” as grounds for opposing these measures. Other conciliar organizations — Catholic Charities USA, the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, the Catholic Health Association, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul — joined the objection. The bishops warned that the housing rule would force families into “heartbreaking choices” between separation and loss of shelter, and that the employment rule would subject asylum seekers to “destitution” and “exploitation.” This episode lays bare, once again, the utter theological and practical bankruptcy of the post-conciliar apparatus: an institution that has systematically dismantled the supernatural life of the Church now presumes to instruct secular governments on “morality” while possessing no authority, no doctrine, and no spiritual credibility to do so.
