"‘Tonight, in the city of David, a Savior is born, 'tis Christ the Lord.'"

"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing."
-Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

Placating terrorists, meeting with dictators, compassion for murderers... but no humanity for the unborn... incredible.

Pope urges world leaders to address illegal immigration

Catholic World News reports that on August 31 the Pope Benedict urged the world's leaders to address the "emergency" of illegal immigration. It sounds to me like the Pope is on the same page as the U.S. Catholic Bishops. I wonder if the next U.S. President and Congress will heed his advice and address this hot issue?

Re: Pope urges world leaders to address illegal immigration

With a crucial distinction, Nord. He has made the point that the nations that people are leaving need to address conditions that are causing an exodus. The American bishops ignore that issue completely. The American bishops also ignore the stress and families and danger to souls that illegal immigration causes.
