Sermon showed compassion for all - Eli Kutsch, 6th grade student

This letter appeared in the Bozeman Chronicle. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes.

I just wanted to note that this young man's priest is doing him a great disservice by preaching falsehoods to him. Mary and Joseph were not illegal aliens, nor were they migrating to Bethlehem. They were responding to official decree that everyone had to return to the town of their birth for a census. So they couldn't get any more legal than to follow the law. And they couldn't be less alien, because they were returning to where they were born.

May I also ask where the parents are in all this, not only for allowing their child to not only listen to a priest who doesn't know the Bible, but for letting their child send in a letter like this?
---------------
My priest seemed disappointed in his sermon last Sunday that a law passed in the election to stop help from the Montana state government to illegal aliens. I know people in Montana want everyone to follow the law, but they also like to help each other.

I’m glad illegal aliens can still get help from local charity groups. I hope everyone makes donations to these groups during the holidays, because it’s when we remember a very special couple who had to migrate to Bethlehem — Mary and Joseph.
