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...

Are you suggesting that these churches do not have to obey federal laws? 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?
