The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops urged immigrants to attend Mass instead of boycotting, and suggested that churches toll their bells in memory of immigrants who died trying to come to the U.S.

BARF!! The Catholic Church really is anti-American. It's all about the money.

Perhaps we should show our appreciation for Amerca by mass boycotting tithing. Instead of money, I'll stick a little note in one of my envelopes and let them know I don't appreciate them participating in illegal activity. Of course I'll need to be specific about WHICH illegal activity.

The ignorance of the Catholic Church teachings on this subject is quite extraordinary in the days of the Internet. Its quite easy to locate. May I first suggest going to the Vatican Web site itself. The Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants has a great selection of documents. The Catholic Church is not anti American. But one must see that the Catholic Church doesn't pattern its whole thought based on the situation in the US. It gives guidelines to the World. http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/migrants/s_index_migrants/rc_pc_migrants_sectionmigrants.htm
The Church is reminding us that Christian principles must apply to this debate. Thats all. This is not a issue of money.

Raymond Arroyo of EWTN stated that only 70 of 197 diocese signed on to this USCCB document! Hence, less than half the Bishops signed on to this document!

Raymond made this statement on Friday, April 28th on his show the World Over!
