I believe all Muslims in war-ravaged countries ought to invade Vatican City. I hereby give them squatter’s rights to the property.

Cardinal Mahony's talk, entitled "Immigration Reform: A Moral Imperative," was co-sponsored by America magazine and the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture. Attended by a standing-room only crowd of nearly 500 in the Lincoln Center Campus' Pope Auditorium, it included a brief video presentation featuring two immigrant stories (available for viewing at www.facesofimmigrants.org)....

"....The Catholic community is central to victory and justice on this issue," said the cardinal. "We are an immigrant Church ourselves, since the founding days of the Republic. The immigrant experience is our own, having come to these shores from all parts of the world. We should be front and center in leading the charge for immigration reform - not only because it is a matter of justice but also because it is part of our identity, of what we are as a Church."

Ping for later

All ILLEGALS should go to hell. They broke the law of a Christian Nation.

Mahoney will not give up...he will use every media outlet to come out against this bill and the governor. We will even see him meeting with Obama. He did the same thing to Mother Angelica..he acted like a bull yard dog that bite at the ankle and didn't let go. What was he after, her network, he lost. He has something to gain here and it isn't about poor suffering illegals crossing the border. The man is a treacherous and a liar.

No not on the Vatican...at Mahoney’s diocese.

The Church should receive Mexicans in the Vatican Nation.

And also make arrangements for them in other Catholic Banana Republics.
