What would you have the Bishop do? Have a hungry man produce two forms of identification before he can get a loaf of bread? What he is doing appears to me more like unbiased compassion, not any concerted effort to break the law. And if there's a law that says a Bishop can't give a hungry man bread, then I hope he breaks it. The authorities clearly know where he is, and if they want to lock him up, then I suspect he'll go with them. But when a government tells the Church that it can't practice compassion, I call that tyranny.

I guess now even religious leaders are supposed to ask people seeking food if they are US citizens...
Heck, I give people on the street money as handouts... I guess I'm now supposed to ask them if they are citizens are legal immigrants before giving them a dollar bill...
LOL...

If these clowns are enabling foreign lawbreakers to remain here, I'd call that being accomplices in the commission of ongoing crimes.

Sorry; he was begging Butch to do something to help illegals knowing full well they're illegal.
That is OVER the top. He could fee who he wants; but why is he getting the Butch governor involved?
