(FAITHWIRE) – A Nebraska church has apologized after a sign about heaven, hell, and immigration sparked intense debate and consternation.
The sign outside St. Mary’s Church in Omaha read, “Heaven has strict immigration laws — hell has open borders.” That message, seen among critics as speaking about immigration laws, sparked immediate furor. After anger about the sign percolated, the church reportedly took it down and replaced it with a new message: “Lo Siento,” which is Spanish for “I’m sorry,” WKRC-TV reported.
The change in signage came after numerous complaints from people like Gary Kastrick, founder of the South Omaha Mural Project, which honors immigrants.
