In the face of serious social instability, the Church must not dismiss the instinct to protect — it must speak to it, evangelise it, and direct it toward the common good.
Here in Canada until very recently everyone was immediately accused of racism for even wanting to speak about immigration. Even parliament refused to mention the "I" word. It was absurd. Then the PM, immediately before being kicked out of office, admitted that they botched immigration. The fact is, many migrants aren't looking for a life of western values; they are looking to have the same values and a better economic situation, or worse, they are looking to exploit western society and cater more successfully to their criminal tendencies. Those two types, (who are not interested in integration and a hand-up), need to be stopped, and removed. The inability (or unwillingness) to discern the difference between these types of individuals is a function of blind obedience to the "progressive" ideology that is in reality not progressive at all.
Mercy without justice leads to chaos and moral decay. The purpose of mercy is to give a sinner or a criminal another chance to act justly and pay for the damages his or her sin or crime caused as a sign of his or her commitment to amending his or her behaviour.
If the Church doesn’t listen to the white working class which is certainly exceptionally socially disadvantaged and arguably the most socially disadvantaged in this country then it will only have itself to blame when the Adversary succeeds in fanning the flames of this groups suffering into flames of riot and discontent
“Mercy without Truth is not mercy!” In giving a partial response to this terrible situation in Epping the good bishop is not being an instrument of peace and healing, despite his best intentions.
See Dr. Gad Saad's books "The Parasitic Mind" and soon to be published "Suicidal Empathy". They describe the ability of the woke leftist, mostly university indoctrinated robots, to look EVIL in the face and call it good.

Excellent! Thank you Mark.

Thank you Mark 🙏🏻
Excellent. The same lopsided thinking as the last pontiff. The bishops end up sounding like celebrity virtue signalling. Surely we deserve better?
