The whole American Catholic Church is too liberal and sucks up to illegals.

they suck up to illegals because many long time American Catholics have strayed from strict Catholic (and Christian)doctrine and are Easter and Christmas Catholics, while the Mexicans have by and large kept the faith.

Just my opinion from personal observation

Then they need to look to the Eastern Europeans, Poles and Slovaks who have been just as faithful.

The Mexicans are keeping families from my Slovak parish from getting their Long waiting, $$$$$ for greencard paying, family members from coming here.

If you were standing in line for two hours to get onto Splash Mountain and 100 people cut in front of you, you’d be pretty upset.

I once worked in government in a committee that dealt with social issues. We received many letters from nuns opposing the death penalty for murderers but never received one letter opposing abortion or restrictions on abortion. I will never forget it.

The Church ministers to illegals because it is in the business of saving souls, individual souls, regardless of the political ramifications.The Church has no business working against of for any political system or national system except where that system is inimical to the Church. The Church should include the wetbacks as it does any other Christians. The Church should not promote any government action or attitude for or against illegal immigration. The Church must treat the illegals on the same terms as it treats anyone else.

Immigrants' beliefs can drift
