How come the Catholic leadership is against the wall on our southern border?

YET Vatican City is encircled by walls and heaven is protected by Saint Peter's Gate?

Answer:
As someone suggested above, most Mexicans are Catholics. The Catholic church is happy to add more Catholics to the church. They are thinking..."more Mexicans, more Catholics, more money". No different from such unions as farm workers unions, teachers unions, etc. They all welcome the thought of more members to their unions.
Huh?
Not sure what you are looking for here..
The Pope doesn't want any undesirables in his house but is perfectly willing to demand that we allow it. Its all about money in the church coffers.
Excellent point!! I don't see them opening up Vatican City and they have those pretty Swiss Guards to protect it. Isn't that kind of a double standard? And are they against every other country protecting its borders or just the USA? They wish to live in an IDEAL world and that just isn't the case.
A wall is a very regressive, immoral, degrading, and inhumane solution to the immigration question, and as such, the Catholic church is against it. Most people who come here who are originally from south the border are Catholic, so the church has a special interest in them.
Oh, that's a good one. The Catholic church needs parishioners. Most of Mexico is Catholic. Get it?
I hate to say it but, angain, it is political. Lots of latinos are Catholic.

You know I'm a Christian and I Love your question.

We need to secure out borders from illegals...
Because the Catholic Diocese is the main supporter of illegal immigrants.In my neighborhood,they help them get their green cards.
For the same reason any decent American is. We want a real solution to the immigration problem--not another exercise in right-wing racism. Whichis all the "wall" is.
Yes it's true 99% of the Mexican population is Catholic, but this is not the reason why they are not supporting the wall, It's because like the Berlin wall it won't resolve the main problem the people will still try to cross through any other part of the border increasing the deaths of the people that will be trying to pass, Not that any of you care but that is why the Catholic chuch is agains it. It will be only a waste of money
The RC Church wants a controlling vote here in the US.

The Law and or laws are just to intimidate the lessor informed. Immigration is a real problem and it is going to take more then intimidation to solve the problem
How come they are organizing post card writing campaigns IN CHURCHES to lobby for amnesty and family chain migration? Don't we even check for tax exemption? That CLEARLY goes over the line.
it is very different. these are poor inocent people who want to come up here to live a better life. you think Catholic leadership is against that?
