My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers. 20 When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the goodness of thy stock. 21 So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.  (Sirach 26:19–21)

Numbers 33:55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. The scriptures had warned us before

“For it pertains to the statesman to know how large a city should be and whether it should include men of one nation or of several. The size of the city should indeed be such that the region may be sufficiently productive and that it may be possible to repel external enemies. It should also preferably be made up of a single nation in view of the fact that the men of the same nation possess the same way of life and the same customs, which foster friendship among the citizens because of their resemblance. Accordingly, the cities that were constituted out of different nations were ruined on account of the dissensions that arose in them due to the diversity of manners, for one part used to ally itself with [external] enemies out of hatred for the other part.”

St. Thomas Aquinas,  Commentary on Aristotle's Politics book 3 lesson 2 362

In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years. 1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state. 2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state. 3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens. However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity". https://www.newadvent.org/summa/2105.htm

“The cry of ‘The Bible! the Bible! nothing but the Bible!’ is as perilous to man’s salvation as the Jews’ senseless cry ‘The Temple of the Lord! the Temple of the Lord! the Temple of the Lord it is!’ (Jer. 7.4).” —Nicholas Cardinal Wiseman, Dublin Rev., 1852.

"Without faith, however, even those works which appear to be good are turned into sins, because whatever is not from faith is sin." — St. Augustine, Against Two Letters of the Pelagians III, 14

"They say there are an hundred Thousand Jews in this town, I am sure they are all wretched creatures for I think I never saw in my life such a set of miserable looking people, and they would steal your eyes out of your head if they possibly could." John Adams wrote while visiting synagogues in Amsterdam with his father

“Jews are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be the least bit surprised if Jews some day become deadly to the entire human race.” - Voltaire

"It is a small, rootless, international clique that incites the peoples against one another... These are the people who are at home everywhere and nowhere, who have no soil anywhere in which they have grown."

“As Rome passed away, so, the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended.” — Pat Buchanan, State of Emergency

After Paul’s shipwreck, he swam to shore on planks and broken pieces of the ship (Acts 27.44). In Adam we all suffered shipwreck, and repentance is the only plank left us after shipwreck to swim to heaven.

"They [Docetists] abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again. Those, therefore, who speak against this gift of God, incur death in the midst of their disputes." — St. Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrnaeans, ch. VII
