"I am not saying everything the American Bishops say is infalliable but this document s pretty much right on with the teaching of the Church Universal. If you noticed John Paul II is mentioned also."
they used flowery language when they decried Reagan's arms policies too. BFD.
But, puleeze, this is not an encyclical. This was *NOT* written by the Pope, or all bishops, or even one bishop. It was written by a *staffer* at their staffed-by-liberals DC HQ. "By Walter Ewing"
Yes, it did have great quote, like this well-known Catholic Saint and philosopher ...
"As Representative Howard Berman (D-26th/CA), member of the House Immigration Subcommittee, noted in an interview in early October 2001, "an orderly program of earned adjustment, based on work history and continuity of work, that involves stages of getting full status, lets us know who is here. When they go through a process of adjudication, they come out of the shadows." (23)"
Okay, so he's not catholic, he's no saint, and this is standard political fare. But he said something Walter Ewing liked, so he gets quoted.
Next time they should use a *Catholic* quote. Maybe a Tancredo, right?
