Mary Ann, how many bedrooms do you have at your place?
Well call their Governments and tell them so moron!
While black kids in inner cities at risk of violence from gangs and drug traffickers are ignored. Why? Obama and his liberal minions already got their parents vote. Time to start importing.
Governments created the problem.
Catholic Charities should be responsible for these illegal aliens. Taxpayers should not pay for those who break our laws with impunity.
I understand the food at the Vatican is really good.
Help the little wetbacks turn around and march back south until they cross the river.
And if they weren’t Latino/Catholics pouring in, then how committed would you and the others have been?
The pro-immigration crowd is racist
The National "Catholic" Reporter, known in some circles as the National Schismatic Reporter or the Fishwrap, is not Catholic.
With the departure of their last actual, honest reporter, John Allen, who went to work for the Boston Globe, they are nothing but another liberal rag. Their local bishop ordered them to stop using the name "Catholic" - they defied him.
Let MEXICO take care of them. Problem solved.
Annie, shove it!
They are not ‘migrant children’ doofus, they are ‘illegal aliens’! What they hell part of ‘illegal’ do you devout catholics not understand?
Guatemala stopped adoptions of their babies by Americans -— and then allows THIS?!?!?!
Mary Ann McGivern, a Sister of Loretto, works with people who have felony convictions and advocates for criminal justice. She lived at a Catholic Worker house for 28 years. She has been a public radio commentator and written plays and a cookbook. She lives in St. Louis.
Sister of Loretto Mary Ann McGivern publishes a thoughtful (and anguished) statement about how her family’s struggle to deal with the death of two of her brothers from AIDS brought them into close contact with real-life gay folks. She points out that the experience of rubbing shoulders with real human beings who happen to be gay has significantly changed how many American Catholics think about issues of sexual orientation.
And then she concludes,
I am thinking a lot of my brothers Joe and Frank as I listen and read about the unconstitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act and varied responses of gays, politicians, leaders in various faith communities. Joe and Frank died when they were 33 and 30. They should have had more hope for happiness than the world gave them. I am so grateful that the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered communities can be open about their sexual orientation and that today the joys of family life are open to them.
Where does that put me within the moral teaching of the church? Count me as someone with difficulties.
And here’s how some of her fellow Catholics choose to respond to Mary Ann McGivern’s thoughtful and painful cri de coeur—this is Sala Martin:
I’m sorry for your pain, but your brothers didn’t die because of anything the world did to them. They died because they had unprotected sex with multiple partners.

Drawing Caterpillar Out Of Its Corporate Cocoon: Company Should Examine Its Role in Mideast Violence
LIAT WEINGART,
VALERIE HEINONEN AND
MARY ANN MCGIVERN
28 April 2004
On April 14, an American corporation was confronted with the choice of whether or not to examine their role in perpetuating the cycle of violence in the Mideast. An alliance of Catholic nuns and Jewish peace activists teamed up to introduce a shareholder resolution asking Caterpillar, Inc. to conduct an internal investigation to determine if the use of their bulldozers to violate human rights laws goes against corporate policies. In fact, it was the first time ever that a shareholder resolution relating to human rights violations in the occupied territories has been brought before a US corporation. Though the odds against the resolution were tremendous, it still garnered 4% of the vote, enough to be re-introduced next year.
Slaves of Caesar, all for the shekels
