Disagree with this.
Catholic church is helping illegals — legal help, shelter, jobs, etc. This is the church growth plan for the future. 20 million illegals/Catholics here. That’s a huge population and with high birth rates it’ll assure expansion over the next few decades.
it is all about full pews and high baptism rates ...but short sighted because like other American catholics the next generation will be mostly non attenders or they will become protestants.. and America will be left with the social mess to clean up
