An Ecumenical Day focusing on justice for immigrants will draw U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback and local religious leaders from Catholic, Episcopal, Methodist, Lutheran and Presbyterian churches to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe on April 18.
The large gathering that will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. will be open to the general public. Pre-registration is required by Monday.
A Kansas Republican, Brownback joined Democrats as part of a bipartisan coalition on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee voting recently to clear the way for 11 million illegal aliens to seek U.S. citizenship.
The committee voted against controversial proposed criminal penalties for illegal immigrants and any U.S. citizens who assist them, a proposal in a House-approved bill that a Houston Catholic newspaper said "shames the United States."
Brownback will discuss the immigration issue during the Ecumenical Day, and United Methodist Bishop Scott Jones will engage the senator in a conversation relating to points made in the Oct. 18, 2005, Interfaith Statement of Immigration issued by a national interfaith network.
Other speakers will include Catholic Bishop Ronald M. Gilmore of the Diocese of Dodge City; the Rev. Don Owens, Presbyterian General Presbyter; Episcopal Bishop James Adams Jr.; and the Rev. John Kreidler, representing Lutheran Bishop Gerald Mansholt.
The Ecumenical Day will begin with registration and a continental breakfast at 9:30 a.m., followed by a welcome and gathering prayer. "Voices of Immigrants" will be presented by several immigrants who will tell their stories, among them former Garden City Mayor and present City Commissioner Juana "Janie" Perkins.

Bishop Gilmore is a big-time supporter of illegal aliens and has held many meetings on this issue. Is liberation theology becoming more prominant in the Catholic Church? And this continues to prove my suspicians I have had about Sam Brownback.
Justice for lawbreakers???? Tht used to mean punishment.
The illegal invasion has concentrated the attention of Americans on the nature of democracy and its central bulwark against anarchy---our Constitution and the rule
of law.
The arrogance of these illegal mental midgets---- lettuce pickers and hamburger flippers. These imbeciles actually believe wavng the Mexican flag in our faces helps their case.
Some lowlife drug lord actually told these morons that Americans are a bunch of suckers who cannot see past the smoke and mirrors, and that we would sit still for their abhorent immigration amnesty bill.
The drug cadres, the pushers and smugglers, are hiding behind the backsides of vote-hungry US elected officials bandying about the bill that treats these lawbreakers better than law-abiding US citizens.
No one is impressed by this cadre of spineless marionettes dancing limply on the strings of corruption, manipulated by the unseen alien horde puppetmasters lurking behind the scenes, ready to pounce on US assets.

Nicely put.. almost prose..
I think the Catholic Church in America is into supporting illegals because it helps to expand there coffers, and like I mentioned in my first post, I think liberation theology also has something to do with this.
All 20+ million of them including any high schoolers that were brought here as 1 and 2 year olds. They have had plenty of time to get into the "legal immigration line" and there is no excuse even if it was the fault of their illegal parents 16 years ago. Illegal is illegal and no amount of spin is going to change it. I think GWB should be impeached for allowing another country to invade America and not make a dent in closing the border. If a terrorists causes damage inside America and it is found they snuck in through our open borders, Katie bar the doors because even Repub will have to call for impeachment. No amount of words can express the anger I feel when I see the American flag taken down and the Mexican flag hoisted and the person begin charged is the American. No amount of words can express the anger I feel when I see thousands of illegal aliens marching in my street and all the law and order types just standing around no doing a DAMN THING - they should be made to show their papers or be put on a southbound bus NOW.
I think it's to refresh the congregations of Catholics for the pederast priests.
Illegal immigrants supporting religions Americans won't?
I am for justice for them.
They broke "U.S. LAW". Let's have some justice.
What a freaking Bazaro world we are living in.
Aaaaaaaaaah.
Raul will rue the day he ignored the rule of LAW.
MY parents are/were both Catholics in the Diocese of Dodge City and they dont quite see eye to eye with the Church on this issue. Its one thing to help a human being, its quite another to help him break the law and thats where the Church leaves the plantation here.
"2241 ...Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants'duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens."
