I don't know anything about Schultz but it's been documented (and televised) that the Cardinal of Los Angeles (Mahoney) has been urging parishoners to violate the law by aiding illegal aliens in their invasion of the country.

He's also spoken in his ecclesiastical capacity against HR4337.

He's entitled to those views but his tax-exempt status means that you and I are subsidizing this nonsense -- Is it time for a closer examination of religious institutions that are tax-exempt but clearly engaging in secular, partisan politics? To try to hide this illegality in the guise of "morality" is ludicrous.

Please spare me that the good Cardinal can't speak out of the Bishops. This is a issue or morality.

Oh and by the way
From the US Vatican ambassador to the Vatican
"In a topic with relevance for American politics, Rooney said he and Pope Benedict discussed immigration policies during their first meeting last November. Benedict, Rooney said, expressed the hope that the United States would continue to welcome immigrants, drawing on what the pope called the country’s “great tradition of assimilation.”

Rooney also said he met Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles during the consistory for the creation of new cardinals in Rome in March, and encouraged him to continue to speak out on immigration issues."

So, our Ambassador encourages him and I guess the Church by implication to continue to speak out. I think the Catholic Church is on safe ground here. Hey the United States Govt is encouraging it.
