Vaticrats have long had delusions of governance, extending even to the United States. In fact, it’s not the first time the anti-borders church [1] has handed out fake identification for illegal aliens whom the church hopes will be suitably grateful: last spring it was a Dallas catholic church handing out rudimentary fake IDs [2].
In years past, the Vaticrats have aided lawless Mexico in handing out its worthless matricular card [3] to aid the foreign flock to steal jobs and benefits. So the current criminal-aiding behavior is not an aberration.
Local TV station WMAR presented a totally positive segment about the Catholic ID cards ending deportations and making the city more welcoming:
It should be remembered that many Catholic citizens reject [4] their church’s unduly friendly policy toward illegal aliens:

Why is the hostile Catholic church still tax exempt when it acts against American citizens’ safety as well as the nation’s law and sovereignty?
Baltimore police to recognize Catholic Church-issued ID cards for immigrants [5], Baltimore Sun, October 10, 2018
The Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore will issue identity cards to undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable people that the Baltimore Police Department has agreed to recognize — a program activists hope will make people more willing to cooperate with law enforcement.
Mayor Catherine Pugh and Archbishop William E. Lori joined church and community leaders Wednesday at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Canton, which is home to a large immigrant congregation and will run a pilot of the card system.
Pugh said that if the card gives even one person the confidence to report a crime, it will be a success.
“No one should become a victim and be afraid to call the police,” Pugh said.
The program is the city’s latest effort to aid immigrants, whom city leaders see having a significant role boosting the health of some neighborhoods.
The Police Department plays only a minimal role in enforcing immigration laws — which are a federal matter — and in March the city approved $200,000 in funding for lawyers to represent people facing deportation.
Advocates for immigrant communities say people without legal status in the United States are reluctant to come forward as victims or witnesses of crime. They say helping immigrants get an identity card from a trusted institution — the Catholic Church — will make people more comfortable talking to officers. . . .
To qualify for a card, an applicant will need to have been a member of a parish for three months, present other identity documents and have a witness testify to their identity. The cards will be linked to parish membership records, but there will not be a specific database of cardholders, which could guard against any future attempt by federal immigration officials to track cardholders.

Finally, all this irreligious behavior is not winning the Vaticrats any points among US followers: a brief Pew report, 7 facts about American Catholics [6] (Oct 10, 2018), includes this fascinating item about the number of people leaving the church:
Catholicism has experienced a greater net loss due to religious switching than has any other religious tradition in the U.S. Overall, 13% of all U.S. adults are former Catholics – people who say they were raised in the faith, but now identify as religious “nones,” as Protestants, or with another religion. By contrast, 2% of U.S. adults are converts to Catholicism – people who now identify as Catholic after having been raised in another religion (or no religion). This means that there are 6.5 former Catholics in the U.S. for every convert to the faith. No other religious group analyzed in the 2014 Religious Landscape Study [7] has experienced anything close to this ratio of losses to gains via religious switching.
