Follow the money.
As you should have been.
Catholics poo poohed it saying the Vatican was not involved in influencing American catholics.
The above foolish, prudential statement comes from the Bishops in Arizona not the Vatican and I wonder how you felt about the instruction from then Cardinal Ratzinger to Catholics about voting for politicians who promote abortion.
The vatican is no different than Al Queda in it's desire to take over the world.
That is your asinine, prudential opinion.
Vatican Warns Catholics Against Marrying Muslims
It must feel queasy about Europe and is doubling it's efforts to take over America.
Another asinine, prudential opinion.
The Vatican never agreed to Freedom of religion.
The Vatican believes that man possesses free will.
Attendance is down, many have complained, but the Church seems to not care at all. >>>
they'll change, I know up north, the Hispanic Masses don't come close in the collection basket as do the others.
and I like to point out to liberal catholics is that how are we helping the immigration of those catholics in India, Africa and elsewhere? Seems they don't count, just the illegals coming from Mexico do. That's not too fair.
It prospered in Spanish held areas but coveted the USA.
It is now going for it.
If you keep them in poverty and desperate for your help, it's far easier to control them.
Oh jeez, something else to worry about huh? The topic of immigration sometimes precipitates the most interesting comments.
Here is the party that is the best fit for you.
...Oh jeez, something else to worry about huh? ......
Both Robert Heinlein the noted futurist and Will Durant the greatest modern historian warned of the coming Catholic migration decades ago.
A real question arises: Are not the migrants being exploited by the rich? Do they think that Mexico will ever have a just government when the ruling class of that country can export their needy to North America?
I guess it won't be long until Roe v Wade is reversed huh?
Excellent point. I generally don't have a problem with the Catholic faith (I am the oddball who consider them fellow Christians) HOWEVER this stuff goes all over me. Even when I was a member I hated their socialistic leanings.

Churches are more than welcome to try to tackle the problem in the home countries that are disgorging zillions of illegal immigrants into the US. It's far easier to chastize the Rich Americans into taking them all in.

Yes, please do. Pray for them, lead by example, and ignore stupid comments.
Oh, wait, I don't do that last one either! ;)

We are descendants of Europe, it was by the catholic church who had influence in Europe, who educated children, whose monasteries transcribed the bible, wrote the entire logarithmic tables, was responsible for so many inventions. there is so much the church did for the world and for the continuation of western civilization that the average person and non-catholic just does not know.
Those Bishops are outlaws.
"The Catholic church has been running an Underground Railroad for Illegals for decades. "
You mean like "The Ratline" for Nazis to Argentina?
I hope you will. In countries where the Catholic religion dominates church leaders are part of the power structure. They feed off the ignorance and superstition of peasant classes in third world nations. Mexico is a good example.
American Catholic rank and file are primarily good moral people. The bishops, cardinals, etc are not. America's large middle class is too enlightened to accept Catholic doctrine without question. They also will not tolerate the immorality of the above.
You are right on!
