The sign in front says, "All are welcome." But Father Casey's family is openly hostile toward LGBT Christians, black Christians, "liberal" Christians (whatever that means), and Christian refugee families; they even hate their own gay family members. Father Casey has not stood up to this hatred. And it shows at the church: At St. John's, sadly, some people are more welcome than others. Christians should courageously speak truth to power, but St. John's is silent: Sonora is surrounded by unsanitary and abusive detention camps that hold Christian refugees in violation of federal laws and court rulings. Yet St. John's is silent about the documented mistreatment of nearby Christians. The hypocrisy is breathtaking: U.S. gun dealers traffic 250,000 guns per year to Mexico, to be used by drug mafias and gangs to gun down Christian families. Because of the repeal of gun trafficking laws, the Christian survivors of those families are forced to cross the border -- only to be persecuted again by members of St. John's. St. John's also silently stands by trade agreements that wiped out millions of jobs for our Central American Christian neighbors. And when those now-jobless neighbors need help, where is St. John's? Nowhere. St. John's is silent about unchristian evil committed against Christians from many walks of life in Sonora -- local gay teenagers who are abused by their parents -- our black Christian neighbors who are being threatened by white nationalists -- the Christian refugees from U.S. cross-border gun trafficking All must look elsewhere for safety and spiritual support. St. John's doesn't want controversy at its coffee socials and its timid proof-texting of the Bible.
