Hmm, and I thought that as Christians , we were supposed to obey civil authority (give to Caesar what is Caesar's) and now they want us to break the law and commit a sin by encouraging and fostering illegal immigration. Shall we do the same for Al-qaeda?

Shame shame shame on the Catholic Church of Arizona

I agree. As Christians, we are to obey civil authority-render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. No Church should be telling us to break the laws!

Another embarrassment from my Catholic "leadership" here in Arizona. What are these people, the DNC in vestments?

It was entirely predictable, however. They've been beating the drums to open the floodgates for quite some time. The so-called Catholic Publications out here have long been full of liberal, socialist BS. They've come out in support for everything from firearms prohibitionism to raising the minimum wage. They even glorified the anti-war nuts a few weeks back.

I'm with you, Coleus- what has become of rendering unto Caesar what belonged to Caesar and to God what is God's?

Sentimentalism and liberation theology seepage. Based on thinking that this world is a place of enjoyment, when its real purpose is preparation for the next.

Not very "Christian" of the Catholic Church to betray people who have to pick up the tab for illegals. Maybe the Catholic Church should be required to pick up the tab.

In fact any organization promoting illegal immigration by word or deed should be required by hefty fine to pick up the tab.

The bishops of Arizona are calling on Catholics to welcome immigrants into their parishes, whether documented or undocumented, and to work to reform the U.S. immigration laws in an effort to facilitate immigration and stem the growing number of migrant deaths at the U.S.-Mexico border.

WOW! Has Bush converted yet?

They probably want a new batch of Mexican boys to molest!
