Now THAT is a sure twist to appeasement for the two sides of Catholic opinion.

The socialist Catholics hyperbollically make all immigrants out to be Mary and Joseph, and bring nothing to the table for working Americans who are burdened by the invasion, or to the effects on sovereignty, common order in immigration law, common international law, security issues, or overall stress to the economy. Not a word.

BUT, I wouldn’t get too damned carried away in disparaging the Catholic Church by what one sees of the Church in the United States. The Church in the US, as executed by the USCCB, is often no model by which to judge the universal Catholic Church, on Earth, in Heaven, and praying in Purgatory.

Is America really all that bad compared to the others, for a Catholic?

According to the CIA Factbook, the five countries with the largest number of Catholics are:
Brazil
Mexico
Philippines
United States
Italy
