Arizona Edition - Last week, members of the U.S. Conference of Bishops led a mass for immigrants and their families at St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. It was meant to recall a mass conducted in Nogales on the U.S.-Mexico border two months earlier on April 1st.
After the mass, members of the delegation met with members of Congress, including House Speaker John Boehner to encourage them to take on immigration reform as soon as possible.
Gerald F. Kicanas, Bishop of Tucson, was one of the six clerics in attendance. KAWC’s Lou Gum spoke to Kicanas from his office in Tucson about his trip and what the Delegation of Bishops hoped to accomplish…(originally aired 06/04/14).

Actually, one California church did just that.
What is amazing to me is how few of these bishops are making ALL the noise. I have read nowhere that they represent anyone elses opinion beyond their own. ( Well,... maybe Boehner and Cantor opinions.)
Misleading headline. Six bishops got together for a Mass. Nothing official about it, and not a substantial number.
Ah, some of the 'charities' have a feeding tube into the US Treasury via welfare contracts.
Threaten to take away the tax-exempt status of the church & that will shut them up & keep them out of our hair.
I guess it depends on who decides what is ‘misleading’ and ‘official’. The bishops have been leaning on saint in the making Boner for years to give them their illegals.
