I believe the Catholics are trying to play some back-door politics, and they're far from alone...did you know that the Baptists have a retirement program for True Believers? LOLOLOL
For years, religious institutions have enjoyed tax-exempt status.
And, you would have thought that people like Jim Bakker would have been sufficiently offensive so as to awaken some further delving into the internal affairs of such entities in general, but
now that we've got at least one religious institution deliberately
'stepping on the fence' to enable illegal immigrants into the United States, now people are starting to wake up to it and ask questions...the Arellano issue, wasn't that Methodist etc?
At any rate, the churchies(insert name of religious denomination here) are all about circumnavigating the law, and forwarding their religious crap. Speaking AS a heathen, I feel it's long-overdue to take these guys n gals to the bank. Megachurches are a symptom...

If you want to know about the Catholic Church, all you have to do is read about the discovery of the American continent. The most brutal colonization of the Americas was done by the Spaniards (Spanish) with the help of the Catholic Church. For every indian that was converted into Catholic by force the Church received 10 pesetas.Could you imagine, the suffering and mistreatment of this people. In some countries in the West Indies the extermination of indians were done with the help of the Catholic Church. The indians that didn't became Catholic was turned into a slaves and died. To the Catholics the indians were animals. Now back to the present,,, Today the Catholic Church like in the old days is a machine to create money, to control government and preach to the world what they know inside of their heart is wrong. In their churches their is more corruption that any where else. This corruption it is not public and they hide it. If the government make an investigation of the churches, just here in the USA, there will be no Catholics left. You could now see some of this corruption coming out with the pedophiles in our communities through out the USA and the cover up of the church. In Latin America, they control the governments of this countries and this government do what ever the Catholic Church tell them. Have you notice that all of this countries are poor, corrupted and very Catholic, the birth grow in these countries are fenomenal. Imagine if they have birth control what will happend to the Catholic Church. We the United States are very lucky that in our Constitution we have separated religion and politics and still the Catholic Church interfere in the decisions of the US government. Do you know why the Protestants escape out of England and came here in the Mayflower to America,Catholics you should check this information out.

No, if the Catholic Church were not receiving any benefits from this group, then they would be lucky to get the time of day from the Catholic Church. I was raised Catholic, I have personally seen some Priest make wonderful attempts to help in their neighborhoods and within their congregation and all though I still have a love for the church I am fully aware of how “take care of only your own” this religion is.

Catholic religion in Mexico has become more of a tradition than a religion. In a religion you have to follow certain "steps" to become saved, and many Mexicans don't follow the "steps" set by the Catholic Church. It is because of this that the Church in Mexico (and probably all Latin America) has become so corrupted.

In my Opinion,
Most Catholics I know are totally against the Catholic Church even though they grew up in the Catholic school!
The Catholic Church reputation is totally shot! They're many many convictions of child molestation!
The religion of PERVERTS needs new little alter boys to caress. Because the old ones want to take them down!

The Catholic church is corrupt. They are only interested in filling up their church coffers to hire a lawyer for the next guy that commits rape on an altar boy. I don't take spiritual criticism from child rapists.

You're absolutely right. The Catholic church is all about money and increasing its membership through a high birth rate.

I was raised by my Catholic parents,I am now agnostic,and no the church would not support them if they were not Catholic.It is in the best interest of the church to assist the predominately Catholic people,that cross into this country by illegal means.Its good business for ant church.

Yes, it would.
Our church is part of a network of churches called Interfaith Hospitality Network. It is a network of churches of different denominations that host homeless families for a week at a time.
The denomination of the family being helped is never asked. I know for a fact that most of the families are not Catholic because they always ask questions about the Catholic faith when they stay at our church.

No!! The catholic church would not help them at all.
I went to a catholic primary school as a child & we were tought that there is one god & one god ONLY.
We were made to say prayers outloud every morning, every day before school ended and every thursday at Prayer Assembly,
I'll tell you a little known secret about getting into catholic schooling, You get in and are ASSURED a spot if you are catholic, the next spot goes to Lutherans, and i don't know how the list goes after that, But going through 8 years of being taught i would go to hell if i disobeyed God & didn't remain catholic.
I think that in itself shows you what they're like and who they're looking out for.!!
I know they wouldn't be helping Mexicans if they were any other religion. They're all about looking like saints and being helpers to their own people, they don't care about any other religion but themselves.
