When Domino's Pizza founder and billionaire Tom Monaghan set up Ave Maria School of Law, he claimed it was because all other Catholic law schools were liberal, and he wanted a conservative one.
So, given that, what the heck is conservative about helping illegal aliens? That's the latest project of Ave Maria School of Law, which makes it . . . just like all the other liberal Catholic law schools. Question for our many conservative Catholic readers who are against illegal immigration: Is there any Catholic belief whatsoever that requires aiding and abetting illegal aliens?
More from "People Making News" in today's Detroit Free Press:
Bridgette Carr, an assistant clinical professor of law at Ave Maria School of Law, was named director of the law school's asylum and immigrant rights law clinic.
Here's more from the June 20th Detroit Spews:
The Asylum and Immigrant Rights Law Clinic at Ave Maria School of Law has named Bridgette Carr director. Carr, an assistant clinical professor of law, will now oversee the clinic, established in 2004 to provide pro bono services to immigrants in search of asylum and legal services. Teaching those little kiddy lawyers-to-be how to help those illegal aliens. Because, G-d knows, there aren't enough immigration attorneys, right?
The Ave Maria School of Law website is cute, too. It calls illegal aliens and their children not "illegal," but the typical liberal "undocumented." We note that Ave Maria provides lawyers to the children of illegal immigrants, so they can fight deportation. Gee, that's the same thing uber-lefty, pro-Palestinian Angelina Jolie supports. Hardly conservative. And definitely NOT good for America.
It's bad enough that Tom Monaghan and his paid stooge, Joe Cella, keep sticking their fingers into the Bush judicial nomination pie and mucking it up with outrageously horrid nominations like that of porn-addict, terror-sympathizer Stephen Murphy III a/k/a Abu Porno. Now, he's helping illegal aliens with profits from pizza you bought, enabling him to sell the company for gazillions.
Thanks, Tom Monaghan, for helping the invasion and ultimate destruction of our country.
Oh, and by the way, even though he long ago sold Domino's, Monaghan still has an office at the company and maintains many strong ties and connections with it. He even owns much of the property utilized by and surrounding Domino's Ann Arbor, Michigan headquarters. Don't buy Domino's. We can't afford to finance more illegal aliens working the system.
Avoid the Noid. His name is Tom Monaghan. And his pizza is Domino's (a/k/a the cardboard-flavored pizza).

And peope wonder why the masses left "structural" religion.
Say it ain't so!!
Ow! You're gad-dang right!
That's really not a good picture.
She usually looks smokin' in comparison.
Well, yeah, the Good Samaritan helped illegal aliens, and Mary and Joseph were illegal aliens and they were obviously helped when they were allowed to stay in the manger.
This is according to the noted conservative, Catholic thoelogian...

What exactly is the problem with this? I would put money on the fact, knowing graduates and current students at this school, that they are helping those who are fleeing religious persecution. There are those who sneak into this country from China, in order to prevent the child's murder through forced abortion, and then try to stay. I completely support these people, and those who sneak out of islamic countries after embracing Christianity, in order to survive.
This Debbie gal sounds like she writes for New Oxford Review.
But...but...without illegal immigrants I won't be able to place a phone order
for pizza with a guy who barely speaks English!
(But hey, that was with Papa Johns in West Los Angeles)
Issues like this are a bonus for FReepers. They get to spew vitriol on both of their favorite targets! Messcans and Catlicks.
Ah, yeah, one of the reasons I left the Catholic church is its strange concentration on tangential or even dystopic "social justice" and unwillingness to, in the words of one former pastor of mine, "waste time on a lot of Jesus talk."
It was "Liberation Theology" that put me over the edge -- "Jesus was the first communist!" and a diocese that heavily funded the communist-first, catholic-slightly "Catholic Worker" organisation.
When Catholics or Christians in general try to make their religion overtly political, the effect is often damaging politically and undermines the faith. Anyone heard of "Father Coughlin?" How about Father/Congressman Drinan? Daniel and Philip Berrigan? All of them thoroughly evil men hiding in cassocks.
Here in Mass. they have shuttered churches and sold the buildings as a result of costs inevitably incurred by the archdiocese's long toleration and cover-up of a ring of predatory gay priests.
One of whom was celebrated for decades in the Boston Globe as an example of the kind of enlightened new cleric who didn't waste time on "Jesus stuff." Instead, Father Paul Shanley concentrated on ministering to gay and "questioning" youth. What a guy (if you liked Coughlin and Drinan, ya gotta love Shanley).
When Jesus asked whose face was on a denarius, it was a rhetorical question; He knew. Some of His followers have gotten hazy on the subject.
The Catholic Church in the nation and the world has the potential to be a great force for good. But it needs to decide whether it wants to save souls or play politics. (The same can be said for many protestant churches, on both sides of politics).
Whose face is on that denarius? There can be only one right answer.

As to how a religion interfaces to the woes of the secular world ... I think that Ave Maria is catering to the human being.
