Attempts at helping to legalize immigrants is the one thing, and the right (Catholic) thing to do.
Aiding and abetting breaking the law, as what Mahony is doing, is quite another.
How is Mahoney advocating breaking the law.
What he said he would resist is any provision such as the one contained in the House bill, passed in December, which said that priests and those in ministry who deal with Hispanics would have to ask for "papers." They would also risk jail if they ministered to someone who was unable to produce those papers.
Thankfully, that draconian provision has already been voted down by the Senate and will not be included in any bill coming out of that body.
And, it will likely not be part of any final bill.
Mahony is costing me dearly.
