AutisticAwl posted:We are evangelical. My life differs a lot from many other kids growing up. Every Sunday since birth, I’m up at 6:45 going to church, setting up everything. Not a whole a lot of unannounced visitors coming to my house to talk to my parents, unless it’s urgent counseling. It’s more like urgent help needed somewhere. For example, last week, a member of our church went through divorce with an abusive wife. So my dad left at 2AM to go talk and pray with the dude.

HEY GUNS posted:So...my priest's daughter is happy with her life, but she also kinda resents her father a little. When she was growing up, it was like he was always "on" for everyone, and had less time for the kids as a result. Thoughts? That sort of problem hardly seems unique to priests though, the idea of a dad who gets too involved in the work at the expense of being emotionally close to his children is something you hear all the time. I tend to suspect that that behavior reflects a fear of intimacy with children on the part of the father, and hopefully that sense that this behavior doesn't come from a place of straightforward malice can make it easier to forgive.

HEY GUNS posted:https://www.thenation.com/article/the-walls-of-this-church-are-the-only-thing-standing-between-amanda-morales-and-deportation/ Church asylum was discussed quite a bit here in Germany recently during the height of the refugee crisis, when over the 2015/16 years almost 2.200 people found refuge there - only a drop in the bucket compared to the >1 million people that arrived altogether during that time, but still. I noticed that the vast majority of churches who offered sanctuary were Protestant, with only about 11% of all churches being Catholic, even though the largest chunk of cases by far was in Bavaria (the first state to enter Germany in due to most of the refugees arriving either from Italy or the Balkans, in both cases via Austria), which is notoriusly Catholic. I wonder why that is - is it maybe the hierarchical nature of the Church that makes it more difficult for local clergy/laity to open their church to asylum seekers without the ordinary's explicit approval? In conclusion: bring back the 1917 CIC text on church asylum imo: quote:Ecclesia iure asyli gaudet ita ut rei, qui ad illam confugerint, inde non sint extrahendi, nisi neccessitas urgeat, sine assensu Ordinarii, vel saltem rectoris ecclesiae.

Is there any country that still recognizes a legal right of sanctuary? In the US, at least, there's nothing but optics that keeps INS from forcing their way into that church and dragging that woman and her son off, as far as I know.

As someone who was dragged off the street trying to protect asylum seekers in a Copenhagen church: No, there's nothing to it but optics, but those can be rather effective some times.

Epicurius posted:Is there any country that still recognizes a legal right of sanctuary? In the US, at least, there's nothing but optics that keeps INS from forcing their way into that church and dragging that woman and her son off, as far as I know. This German dissertation mentions that the current concordats between the Holy See and the countries of Italy and Spain at least contain some traces of legal sanctuary; the Italian one (1984) requires state officials to notify the responsible Church authorities before entering ecclesiastical grounds "in the pursuance of their duties". The clause also says that it doesn't apply in "emergencies" without explaining what constitutes one, though, so I imagine that state officials would still have a relatively easy time to break up sanctuary if they wanted to. Probably the strongest contender for "recognises some sort of sanctuary" would be Spain. The Spanish concordat (1979) stipulates that "[c]hurches are guaranteed inviolability according to the Law", and even dropped an "emergency" clause similar to the Italian one that had been part of the preceding 1953 concordat. In Germany, the last possible venues for at least sort-of legal sanctuary were scrubbed from the books in 1879. Two 19th century concordats, namely the 1855 one for Austria and the 1862 one for Ecuador, make explicit mention of the ecclesiastical right to offer sanctuary, but in Austria this right was suppressed soon afterwards (in 1870 by the latest, I believe), whereas in Ecuador it remained in force until unilaterally being revoked in 1904. A couple of Vatican concordats with the Baltics and Poland from the 20s give ecclesiastical sanctuary at least some consideration, but I imagine that those treaties lost any remaining legal power during/after WW2. e: that's only for Christian/Catholic states, of course; no idea if legal sanctuary still exists in other religions/states

No but churches (like anyone else) are allowed to refuse entry to law enforcement officials unless they have a warrant. It'd be a PR nightmare for ICE.

I think it's like what I've brought up in this and past threads. My grandfather was a doctor, and tended to be very busy and emotionally distant when my mom and aunt were growing up; but when he died, practically the entire small town they lived in came out to the funeral. In essence, you're kind of expected to share your father with the rest of the community.
