In other words, he is not a fringe player. Indeed, he is typical of Catholic Church leaders.

Ummm ... NOT. The Holy See has already begun the process of easing him out. He's more typical of "Catholic Church leaders the LA Times likes".

When bishops start talking about specific policies instead of general principles of justice and charity, they often overstep their bounds.

"Treat the alien and soujourner with kindness" is straight out of the Bible. "Let as many aliens and sojourners come as want to, and give them loads of free social services paid for by the law-abiding" is not.

Exactly! Like Cardinal Law, etc...

Well, then, what is the position of Mahoney’s Mexican replacement, Gomez, upon illegal immigration and illegal aliens?

The usual list of spiritual suspects needs to be worrying about the immigration policies for entrance into eternal life and how they will be judged in rendering mercy to those seeking asylum in this country. Save for the Indians, we are all products of fairly recent immigration. Perhaps these people would prefer the followers of Mohamed to be entering in the same numbers as the Hispanics.

This is getting old, it is obvious the Vatican/Catholic Church authorities are NOT on the side of the patriots, but on the side of the left.

No more excuses, misinterpretations, blaming the press, miscommunications, ect.

From siding with environmentalists, the Notre Dame invitation, the support of the Healthcare takeover, and on and on.

Their actions are very clear now.

Agree- What is most disturbing is that the AZ law is made out to be what it is not. It is NOT racial profiling.

Under law when an officer has reasonable suspicion to detain an individual such as failure to observe a stop sign, he is empowered to detain tnat individual and check for possible violations of other laws such as not having a valid driver’s license or inquire as to whether there is contraband, dangerous weapons or ask for residency and citizenship papers.

If a violation appears then a citation could be issued or a warrant for probable cause or arrest may lie. This is a NEUTRAL way of enforcing an earlier paraellel federal law.

Does anyone else have another way of enforcing such a law?
