    A church offering "sanctuary", no matter the context, is an arrogant assertion of an historic belief that church is superior to state

        @BernardKeane Except that the churches are explicitly saying there's no legal validity, acknowledge they risk personal penalty.

        @BernardKeane In this context they are. There is nothing inherently superior about the state when democracy is broken.

        @BernardKeane In this specific context, the state is pretty indefensible

        @BernardKeane I read it more as a desperate act of protest. Besides it may work with a conservative christian Liberal party.

        @BernardKeane i don't see it that way. More way of a human shield and i think pretty unprecedented in a modern day first world country.

        @MarilynShephe15 you should re-read & apologise to @BernardKeane He's nails it! "Canon-law" also conceals crimes by priests against children

        @BernardKeane Would it be the same if a secular organisation made a functionally identical offer?

        @BernardKeane in this instance they are, as has been pointed out. You're ideologically nit-picking.

        @BernardKeane PS if Christian churches had offered sanctuary to Jews destined for gas chambers in WWII would you have objected then?
