Arizona's Proposed Illegal Immigration Crackdown Akin To Nazi Tactics, Cardinal Roger Mahony Says

April 19, 2010 Cardinal Roger Mahony blasted Arizona's proposed crackdown on illegal immigration, calling it "the country's most retrogressive, mean-spirited and useless anti-immigrant law."

"American people are fair-minded and respectful. I can't imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation," Mahony wrote on his blog.

The Arizona measure, which has yet to be signed by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, would require police, if they suspect someone is in the country illegally, to determine the person's immigration status. Currently, officers can ask about someone's immigration status only if the person is a suspect in another crime. Those who can't prove they are in the U.S. legally face misdemeanor charges.

Mahony is a long-time supporter of immigrant rights and has spoken out before on legislation be believes is unfair to immigrants.

I think Mahoney better clean up and deal with his church’s mishandling of child molestors before he lectures the US on how to handle illegal immigrants.

The Cardinal doth protest too much, methinks.

Isn’t Cardinal Douchebag Mahony supposed to be EX-Cardinal Douchebag Mahony soon? I thought the Pope named his successor. Once he steps down can he be sent to Gitmo for crimes against America?

Mother Angelica took Mahony to task awhile ago. Today, except for Hispanics, most area Catholics don’t regard him as their archbishop. He should have been defrocked ages ago. He has disgraced traditional Catholic architecture and liturgy.

Mother M. Angelica, head of the E Word Television Network, was forced by him to issue an apology when Mahony reported her to Rome. Mother Angelica had suggested he denied the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and called on members of his archdiocese to disobey him.

Despite the apology, Mother Angelica continued her critique of Mahony’s pastoral letter on the liturgy, referring to it as “fuzzy” and “confusing.”

In the eyes of many, Mahony’s appointment to the LA Archdiocese was one of JPII’s biggest mistakes.

The liberal American Catholic Church speaks. I like the Pope and he needs to tell these idiots to shut up. The same liberal idiots who support abortion at Notre Dame.

I trust knowing the history of Roger Mahoney, who was an activist priest in support of the Communist backed Farm Workers Union, who in my youth and blinded endeavor to 'making everything right liberalism', supported the Farm Workers in California. I do respect and admire the farmer workers, as people, and want to see them achieve fair wages for hard work. I have talked to them personally, and many I truly admire, as they remind me of my father, who was the son of share croppers from Oklahoma. May God bless them and their families and children. The Farmer Worker's Union was taken over by Communist, who believe not in Christ, but in Satan and power! IMHO Roger Mahoney never spoke to this take over by Satanist, or the role of Christ as Savior for eternity verses Communist promise of savior here on earth, which Christ said was Satan s's kingdom!

He’s on his way out now. The Vatican appointed an coadjutor nearly a year before he was required to submit his resignation.

Yeah, just like posts 5, 6, 14, 15, 17, 20, 24 but you must have skipped over those...

Mahoney should spend less time undemining the US and acting like a leftist politician looking for more voters and more time cleaning up the cesspool of leftism and sexual sin he is supposed to lead.

Don’t kid yourself. The biggest reason is that you’re either ignorant or you wanted to contracept.

Actually the Catholic Church is against illegal immigration just as it teaches in the Catechism. Don’t be a simpleton and confuse the prudential gum flapping of an apostate like Mahony with the actual teaching of the Church.
