I can understand why Catholic leadership would lean toward supporting amnesty; Mexicans and Central Americans are overwhelmingly Catholic.

But the same illegals who don't learn English also don't assimilate into the American version of the church. They will want separate mass in Spanish and will want to make their own decisions on church matters, not subject to gringo standards. They are as likely to celebrate the Day of the Dead or Pinko de Mayo as Easter. Not meaning to be judgmental, just saying they will bring their own Mexican Catholic church, thank you, just as they will bring their own separate cultural standards to everything else.

Sorta sounds like the Dems pandering for votes, doesn't it.

I am Catholic too and this really ticks me off!

These Bishops have NO right to suggest that these Mexicans are anything but law breakers. There are too many people of ALL races/countries who have been waiting patiently for citizenship. Many have close relatives here and can't get in legally!

What a cryin' shame..(as my dear Mother would say)
