Why is the Catholic Bishop defending criminals?
Bishop Urges Aid For Immigrants
The time to act is now.
Those were the words of Bishop Thomas Wenski, Central Florida's top-ranking Catholic, as he urged priests, nuns and social leaders to mobilize their communities against what he described as anti-immigrant legislation during the "Justice for Immigrants: A Journey of Hope" Pastoral Awareness Day in Winter Park on Saturday.
"No human being should ever be reduced to being a problem," he said to a crowd of almost 300 members from the Diocese of Orlando, which includes Polk County.
The U.S. Congress is debating immigration law reform that will decide the fate of about 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States and the way in which another million will arrive.
Those who attended Saturday's meeting, which included the Rev. Norman Farland of Wahneta and volunteers from Farmworkers Ministry of Auburndale, were pressed to write, call and e-mail their state and local representatives in opposition to legislation that would harm immigrants. Attendees were urged to gather at least 10 people to join in the effort.
The event is part of the national Catholic Campaign for Immigration Reform, which calls for global anti-poverty efforts, expanded opportunities to reunify families, and a temporary worker program that includes a path to permanent residency and labor protections equal to U.S. workers, among others.
If the Bishop really cared about JUSTICE here are some of the things he'd support...
- Add More Border Patrol Agents
- High-Tech Security Fences on the Mexican Border
- Make the Mexican Border Priority #1
- Establish Work Site Enforcement
- Require Employers to Prove Worker Citizenship
- Make immigration data available to other agencies

It's normal to expect any church to attempt to exert influence over any state and for any state to attempt to dominate any church. That's why the U.S. Constitution denies Congress the power to make any law regarding an official state church. That Constitutional provision was based upon awareness of centuries of history: the protestant denominations teamed up with the protestant kings in attempts to subjugate the roman catholic denomination and the temporal rulers with which it was affiliated and vice versa; the rc denomination battled back and forth with the various temporal authorities over the centuries prior to the protestant attempt at reformation; the Roman emperors, like so many other kings and emperors before them, considered themselves the head of any church within their jurisdiction, so it was no surprise that Emperor Constantine dominated the early roman catholic denomination, even to the point of calling gatherings of church leaders to define dogma and then giving or denying final approval of those dogmas.
This is all nothing more than a new chapter in an old story.
BTW, Pat, do you not have a problem with perfideous Jews invading modern Israel?
Clinton, you have little understanding of the Catholic faith. Just what some "authors" lie to you. Reading the Church documents, past or near the present (e.g. Vatican ONE), on infallibility, jurisdiction, and the like.
