“Many Latinos are faithful Catholics.”
I doubt the Church leadership echoes that sentiment; I don’t see them supporting parishes financially. In my limited experience (here in North Ecuador, NJ), they are “Catholic” as long as their children receive Catholic educations at deep discounts (subsidized by the dwindling population of aging whites). Once the school closes or children graduate, they go back to being leftist deists...
The Catholic higher ups want amnesty because without their illegals there are many parishes in this country that would be absolutely empty without them.
I know that in my city they would. We have 3-4 parishes that are nothing but latinos. My sister in law worked at one for many years.
