There is nothing moral about priests helping undocumented workers break the Ten Commandments.
"“You shall not covet " (That includes neighbor's house, neighbor's land, another country's land, etc.)
"Do not steal." (That includes things inside of a person's home, a person's cars, another country's land, etc.)
"Do not kill." (That includes Americans.)

In my opinion the church members who willingly break the law by helping illegals invade us should be arrested and tried for treason.
I don't care if they are Christian or what but if a person is willing to deliberately break the law because they don't agree with it then they are no different than any other criminal who breaks the laws.
There is no excuse for breaking our immigrations laws and if the Catholic Church insists on doing just that then they need to pay the penalty for doing so.
I think everyone should be rounded up at the church who was involved with the human smuggling ring and deport every single illegal that they helped to invade us.
I would like to add that No ONE is above the law and anyone who thinks that they are better think again.

Catholic priests work for social justice to improve the human condition because they beleive that the wet-back is also God's child - they are not concerned with arbitray laws that come into vogue when political parties struggle to find issues that resonat on election day.
As far as sex abuse scandles - it is a symptom of the larger society - what is interesting though - the media ignores the connection between the homosexuals who have entered the church and coincidence of sex scandals.
Sex scandles by the clergy are not only in the Catholic church - we have seen our share of TV Evangelicals - and there have been many rabbis - reported recently in the media - caught with their peepee's in the wringer. It is only the Cathoilic Church that is being forced to pay out based on "repressed memory" syndrome - which has almost no evidentiary credibility.

Some of that work is beneficial, I must say grudgingly. They have housed a lot of people fleeing CIA caused political disasters. As much as I hate Catholics (going to Catholic school did that to me) I have to hand it to them.

I think they just got an easy 11.5 million more parishioners since Mexico's majority is Catholic.

Who knows? I was not very trusting of the Vatican BEFORE they made a Nazi the Pope. Now? I wouldn't doubt it...
Are you really related to the Bush family? If so, It must really suck to have to admit that (I'd disassociate myself from my family...)

They don't need undocumented workers to do this, their terrified congregations will back them up to stay out of Purgatory.

I grew up in South Texas and can tell you two things for sure.
These people don't bring anything with them
They don't tithe.
