LOL! Now that is a new name to me!! You must be sooooo proud!

I try to keep my mouth shut too, but it gets to me when some try to act like they know what goes on, and they're from an area with little impact from illegal immigration. (No, I don't live in California, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas, but I stayed in a Holiday Express last night....) I've been lectured by other Catholics who think I'm some sadistic type who has no compassion when I question the Church's right to dictate to others on this matter. If we want to show real compassion perhaps those who are lecturing can go to Southern and Central American countries and minister to the poor there and petition their leaders to take better care of their own. No one was really suggesting that priests or nuns would be prosecuted for giving people a helping hand. But, neither should they be encouraging them to break the law.

this matter needs to be discussed in the Public Forum without fear of being labeled a bigot or a racist when one is only trying to find realistic answers to major problems!!

Cardinal Mahoney is a left wing hack and he doesn't speak for all catholics

Though catholics and other religious leaders won't be prosecuted under this administration .. there could be an administration in the future that might .. which may be the reason many freaked out about the wording in the House Bill

Liberals are using it because they have an agenda ..

others just have concerns
