The Sanctuary movement began in the 1980s in Arizona and was founded by two Quakers and a Presbyterian Minister. It had its roots in the 1960s as Liberation Theology that focused on protecting the “oppressed”. Now we are suffering the consequences of this. Nothing exceeds like excess.

At St. Louis University the Priests teaching Philosophy and Theology were divided on this issue. I sided with the Conservatives. We believed that our first responsibility is to ourselves. We followed the law of proximity and included family as our responsibility as needed. We also believed that charity is a one-to- one obligation that begins at home. Mother Theresa got it right. We are suspicious of expanding charity beyond our actual responsibilities. Marxists will turn our charity into Communism. The Good Samaritan paid the innkeeper to heal the injured man and this is one-to-one.
