I don't disagree with that approach, but I think that Abp Gregory should stick to helping people in need, and NOT pressure his flock to support or oppose particular legislation.

That's where the bishops' naivete gets them in trouble. They don't take the long view in looking at the effects of liberal amnesty/guest worker/public assistance laws -- just more poverty and more exploitation.

Archbishop Wilton Gregory serving his flock but he should stay out of politics.

Archbishop should follow the the Direction of Cardinal Mahony with regard to Abortion,i.e. Keep your hands of the politicians:

Cardinal says education on abortion more effective than sanctions

By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Los Angeles Cardinal Roger M. Mahony said he believes the church's efforts to educate people about the reality and immorality of abortion are more effective than imposing sanctions on politicians who support legal abortion.

The cardinal spoke to Catholic News Service at the Vatican May 11, less than a week after he had a private meeting with Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kerry and his wife.

Whether or not you agree with the Archbishop, I think it is quite unfair for some to claim it is all for money, or as one post suggested "think of all those little illegals to molest". IMO it is fine to disagree with the message of the RCC, or specifically the Archbishop. I just get tired of people who must make everything about the church relate to the sins of a few priests.
