Roman Catholic Bishops across the nation have called for immigration reforms that include a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally. Boston Archdiocese Cardinal, Sean O'Malley, said reform should be, "rooted in the principle of family unification," and appealed for support from American Catholics.

Catholic church calls for immigration reform

The discoverers and settlers of this once great Nation had it right when they prohibited the Catholic religion from setting foot on our shores...

>> “rooted in the principle of family unification,”

Family unification is wonderful! I’m all for it.

Unify them in Mexico... where they’re from.

So are these Priests advocating for a religion (”The Roman Catholic Church”) or a foreign government (”The Holy See”) ?

He has my support! I'm all for reunifying the families in their native homeland: Mexico.

I asked my (conservative) parish Priest if he was going to be talking on this .... he only laughed.

As you would expect from the RCC. I guess their isn’t as much participation from the American crowd so they need to bring in more from the South. Young boys are hard to find in this day and age. The new a new supply line.

We didn’t hear a peep about immigration—illegal or otherwise— in our priest’s homily yesterday. He preached right from the Gospel, like he always does. And I live in Arizona and our parish has a HUGE Spanish-speaking population.

I personally know the priest in Medford.

I doubt this will happen.
