Yoohoo, Bishops of the most high (high on something) -- talk to the Chamber of Commerce about their human trafficking, their exploiting the American taxpayer, exploiting the small towns, bankrupting hospitals, etc. -- talk to the lawyers who would have had their fees paid by the government in representing illegals -- talk to the countries from which these illegals are leaving in hopes of finding a better future. Looks as if these high-and-mighty are part of the problem....
The Bishops are politically and spiritually wrong. But, that is not the importance of this stance. The old FDR coalition which had Roman Catholics in its hip pocket was broken by Reagan. This is an attempt to get it back in the Dem pocket once again. Not only Hispanic Catholics but those MidWest and Eastern Catholics who voted Pub for a few times. This is a ‘guilt’ ploy and my guess is, it will work. I see lots of Catholics deserting the Pubs in ‘08 and that will keep the Congress safe for Dems. The Pubs will not try to counter this because as The Stupid Party, they will just give up. They should not. They could gain some Catholic votes and ethnic votes but they won’t.
