They call Trump's order "immoral" and urge the justices to "protect God-given human dignity" by finding it unconstitutional 👀

Bishops: "At its core, this case is not solely a question about
citizenship status or the Fourteenth Amendment. It is
a question of whether the law will affirm or deny the
equal worth of those born within our common
community—whether the law will protect the human
dignity of all God’s children."

1. Well, let's see how those Opus dei deal with that...

Of course, Opus dei is hardly a adherent to the current Vatican (or prior under Francis).

Opus dei adherents today: Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett (the latter is assumed). Gorsuch was raised Catholic and Opus dei's political arm did endorse him by way of Leonard Leo, but he married an Episcopalian and has continued to attend an Anglican church.
