There are hundreds of immigration reform activists across the country who also counsel those in despair over pending deportations. Their work is often driven by the nightmarish realities of undocumented immigrants.
On Friday, I received an unusual call in that I heard from an angry priest at his wit’s end over stalled immigration reform.
Fr. Brendan Curran of St. Pius V in Pilsen called while standing outside the third-floor West Chicago office of Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam, R-Ill. Curran said that Roskam’s staffers closed the office and turned out the lights upon the arrival of his group of 12 clergymen and reform advocates. Eventually, police escorted the group from the building.
Curran was at a boiling point over inaction by the House of the Representatives on reform.
“Disrespectful and disgraceful,” Curran said after explaining that his group, which Friday included a few leaders of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, has made repeated attempts to meet with Roskam without getting a response.

Wrong headline...should be..Priest keeps fighting for immigration reform.thanks
Pinged the Mods to correct it for you moonshinner.
To the Roman Catholics, like this, the only allegiance they owe is to the Church, they will not respect national borders. It is why, I think, they support illegal immigration regardless of the difficulties it presents to the weakest Americans, economically speaking.
It certainly isn’t about improving the illegal’s lot in life, because if it was, the Church would be fighting to improve their lot on the Mexican side of the border.
It’s pure politics for these so-called men of God.
What about the islamist armed camps all over the country? Guess they’ve been given a special waiver.
We are being eaten from within, the trojan horse is inside the gate
Tin Horn priest needs to pay attention to his pastoral duties and quit with the criminal pandering to the illegal crowd. Small wonder Catholics are leaving the fold.
I’m a Roman Catholic - and I have seen over the last decade a strong push towards removing borders - there are masses that are semi-Spanish and the books are bi-lingual.
I see this move as a national security concern - one that I do NOT support and one that The Church needs to stay out of and respect.
Illegal is just that - WRONG! I agree - they should go to Mexico or other Latin American countries and seek to overturn their corrupt govt. and improve the situation there - instead of allowing those problems and nefarious creatures that plaque our judicial system free access because Church “under the table” doctrine thinks this is okay - while ruining the US in the process...
It’s issues like this - that make me question on continuing to support the Church leadership and walking away until it is fixed...
I can tell you - there is a high number of “illegals” using the tuition assistance in Catholic schools (Private) where the rest of us would have to pay...which is why our kids go to the public school...
More Mehhiccans!
More Mehghiccans!
More more more Mehhiccccans!!!!
(We must have more criminals and DUIs)
Fighting for satan.
I, too, am Roman Catholic, and I agree with everything that you said!
Your church is up to it’s neck in destroying America by any means possible.

The Priest is a jerk... and the person who bought the ‘angriest man’ argument is a fool.
“Angry Priest.”
Sins, Seven Deadly, Wrath.
“It certainly isn’t about improving the illegal’s lot in life, because if it was, the Church would be fighting to improve their lot on the Mexican side of the border.”
You hit the nail on the head!
It’s why my heart just pumps purple pumpkin piss for illegals and the Catholic’s that favor breaking the law and the tearing down of a culture that supports their very existence.

Sounds like one of those iPhone apps... and has about the same relevance.
