Migrants Over Christ the King: The USCCB’s Subversion of Catholic Doctrine on the Occasion of America’s 250th Anniversary
The National Catholic Register portal reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has released a national prayer service for the United States’ 250th anniversary, titled “A National Prayer Service Honoring the Many Journeys that Shaped America,” which places immigration, justice, and the dignity of migrants at the center of the semiquincentennial observance. Developed by the Committee on Migration and the Subcommittee for the Promotion of Racial Justice and Reconciliation, the service invites Catholics to reflect on the nation’s history through the lens of migration, displacement, slavery, and faith while encouraging advocacy for vulnerable migrant populations. The document combines hymns such as “All Are Welcome” by Marty Haugen, Scripture readings emphasizing hospitality toward foreigners, intercessory prayers addressing slavery and human trafficking, testimonies, and guided reflections focused heavily on migrants, refugees, and immigrant communities. It includes a “call to action” encouraging Catholics to advocate for “just and humane immigration reform,” incorporates themes of racial justice including excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and recommends “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often called the Black national anthem. This prayer service represents not merely a pastoral initiative but a systematic inversion of Catholic priorities, replacing the supernatural mission of the Church with the secular gospel of humanitarianism and racial politics.
