"Attendence in Catholic churches have been declining for years."
So? There is no evidence that Priests want illegal immigrants in their flock out of "greed". It's an irrational statement. These illegals have little money anyway and much of it they send home. It makes no sense. Weiner just makes this stuff up based on biases not logic or reason. He can't get into their heads and understand motives.
I disassociate myself from Weiner and now I disassociate myself from people like you who defend such obscene remarks.
I think Cardinal Mahony is afraid of the Catholic Church losing its relevance. I can understand that and am sympathetic to it. However, his misplaced sympathies do not take into account the grave threat to national security of an open border, nor the massive criminal presence of illegal Mexicans in this nation, from the 31% of violent offenders clogging our prisons, to the 80% of illicit drugs sold to our children. It is disappointing that he doesn't seem concerned about these threats, and it is offensive how he plays blatant politics, while arrogantly assuming his tax-exempt status will never be questioned.
Why do you feel compelled to call him "Weiner"? Is it anti-Semetism? Do you refer to Cary Grant films as "Archibald Leach" films or to Tom Cruise as "Tom Mapother"? This is the pseudonym he has chosen. How about being mature enough to honor that.
