Ignorant Churchmen
- Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich says there needs to be stricter gun laws.
The archbishop wrote about his concerns in a piece in the Chicago Tribune. In it he said lawmakers must act, and act quickly, to change how easily guns are bought and sold in this country.
Wrote Cupich:
Let’s be honest. The Second Amendment was passed in an era when organized police forces were few and citizen militias were useful in maintaining the peace. Its original authors could not have anticipated a time when the weapons we have a right to bear now include military-grade assault weapons that have turned our streets into battlefields. The Second Amendment’s original intent has been perverted by those who, as Pope Francis recently commented, have profited mightily. Surely there is a middle ground between the original intent of the amendment and the carnage we see today.
"military-grade"? Did Phleger white this bullshit?
"battlefields"? Have you ever seen a battlefield?
And Pope Francis who is/was/continues to be protected by armed members of the Swiss Guard and Secret Service agents? Are you for real?
You know what else the Founding Fathers never could have foreseen? The internet. So that whole First Amendment thing must have been perverted seeing as how thousands have profited mightily taking advantage of free speech. The genius of the Constitution is it's simplicity and intent to restrict government power while allowing the entire country to grow around it. Try studying it once instead of the leftist Cliff Notes.
Tell you what Blase, when your churches start paying taxes and punishing molesters according to the laws of the land instead of covering up for decades, we'll grant you a voice in government matters. Until then, shut up, minister to the poor, the downtrodden, the sick, weak, infirm and religiously bereft and stay the hell out of issues you are woefully ignorant about.

Fr. Faker - Priest gets nowhere with his bleating about "guns are bad!" crapola...
So why not move on up to the Archbishop - see if that moron can get some play out of what Faker couldn't eh?
Both of these guys are fools - they need to read their history books about what happens when only the government has firearms... Oh, and they also need to read the Constitution - where WE, THE PEOPLE constituted OUR government. We reserved the right to keep and bear arms for OURSELVES. So screw living in a more 'enlightened time' - guns were needed then, and are needed now.
One need only look around the country to see what hell has been wrought by the nitwit in the white house to realize why we need to be able to defend ourselves against armed criminals...
Pope Francis with all his views on gun control and global warming and capitalism kind of has the feel of a left winger. Maybe the people he's putting in power reflect his views.
Cupich is a liberal left fucktard cut from the same cloth as Plegher. How we got stuck with this asshole is just par for the course here.
I'm Catholic, but these stupid fuck priests count on oblivious devotion. Wake the fuck up "padre," you're not lecturing a bunch of peons anymore!
Tell you what Blasé, when your churches start paying taxes and punishing molesters according to the laws of the land instead of covering up for decades...
Whoa there Francis! Child molesters were brought into the seminaries and Church in the 1960's at the time the Roman Catholic Church, as was so much of American society, was hijacked by radicals, leftists and communists. Pedophilia wasn't institutionalized in the Catholic Church, rather it was a sin of men, not a sin of the Church. And as long as the Boys Club of America recieves tax exempt status to have Midnight Tec-9 Cleaning Seminars for gang bangers the Catholic Church should have tax exempt status for establishing and maintaining St. Mary of Nazareth, Miseracordia, Resurrection Hospital, our thousands of great schools and our Chaplins Ministry. Man, and my father thought it was the Beatles that screwed up the entire world....
Oh boy. Hey Father if you thought I needed to start contributing to the church don't expect it now. How does the old saying go. Hey who hasn't sinned cast the first stone. You would be better off cleaning house on the South Side and get ride of that nut.
I can't stand either this archbishop or this pope. Leftest useful idiots, the two of 'em.
Right on SCC!!! i wonder if Blase wrote this in order to guarantee his ride along with Garry that he talked about before McStreetlight went on limited duty?? i recall that around twenty years ago there were questions regarding the Vatican's holding stock in armament companies (as in military grade). Perhaps the good padre should ask Francis if they have since divested of these investments??
Maybe he should stick to interpreting his bible for his flock and leaving the constitution alone. The Bill of Rights does not need changing.
"Did Pfleger write this bullshit?"
He maybe helped. Got plenty of time to do it, now that his position at St. Sabina's looks to be secure for ANOTHER two decades or so.
Meet the new Archbishop.
Same as the old Archbishop.
Pfleger pokes up the logs in the fireplace, uncorks the oldest brandy, sits back in his fine Corinthian leather armchair, and sighs luxuriously...
Luke 22:36: And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.
I listen to the words of my Lord and Savior
Hey, Cupich, clean up your own house first.
U.S. priests accused of sex abuse get second chance in South America
September 27, 2015
"RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — The Catholic Church has allowed priests accused of sexually abusing children in the United States and Europe to relocate to poor parishes in South America, a yearlong GlobalPost investigation has found.
"Reporters confronted five accused priests in as many countries: Paraguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Peru. One priest who relocated to a poor parish in Peru admitted on camera to molesting a 13-year-old boy while working in the Jackson, Miss., diocese. Another is currently under investigation in Brazil after allegations arose that he abused disadvantaged children living in an orphanage he founded there [!!!].
"All five were able to continue working as priests, despite criminal investigations or cash payouts to alleged victims. All enjoyed the privilege, respect and unfettered access to young people that comes with being clergy members.
"In the U.S., Catholic leaders have come under intense pressure for concealing priests' sex crimes, and for transferring perpetrators among parishes rather than turning them over to law enforcement. The scandal has cost the church billions of dollars and led to a sharp decline in new clergy."
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/09/17/us-priests-sex-abuse-relocate-south-america/32551455/
to this story I say "Amen"
Bring on all the commenters who haven't seen the inside of a church in years telling us how they are going to stop donating to the rich, greedy church. While you're at it, pull your kids out of Catholic schools as a protest. We all know how stellar the Chicago public school system is. While I don't agree with the pope and the archbishop's slant on the issue, they enjoy the same freedom of speech (and religion) that we all do, tax exempt status notwithstanding. That's another story altogether. Bring on the haters.
Amen, this should be said to all the no tax paying, parking courtesy requesting, police hating, agitating pastors and reverends on the south side who have the ear of the aldermen and commanders of those districts.
For fuck's sake!
Well said SCC. I'm clapping.
Tonight I was at a fraternal meeting of senior law enforcement agents and corporate security specialists. The informal discussion among groups as always was lively and thought provoking. One conversation somehow moved from high class cars to high class guns. The idea that no one in this society needs an "assault weapon" needs only to look at Ferguson or Baltimore. Situations where whole sections of cities erupt in violence over one person being killed and the "organized police forces" are not just powerless to prevent death and destruction the rioting hordes are given "room to destroy" by idiot politicians.
An individual citizen needs to be able to defend his home and family when there is a total breakdown of society. A few photos from those cities leaked out of store owners, with no police around holding onto their property by standing guard on their roofs with assault weapons. A couple of old timer recalled the Martin Luther King Riots and their fathers watching the glow of the Westside fires getting closer and having an old shotgun and a World War II souvenir pistol to defend their families.
With social media a rioting mob can be gathered and inflamed very quickly with little excuse. And if they come storming into my home....
Straighten out your house first and leave the little boys alone . Remember there is a reason for separation of church and state . And you have an armed CPD guard at your house at all times.
The Cardinal's Residence detail at North Ave. and Dearborn had a 18th District officer assigned to guard it. I don't remember what the beat number was but I had it a few times. The regular midnight guys who had it you never heard of or saw any other time except the 1st and 16th of the month.
Also, Pfleiger had a CPD body guard. Does he still have it?
As IOTUS (Idiot Of The United States) stated, the cities with the toughest gun laws have the fewest gun deaths. As I said IOTUS!
Lets not forget this comes from an organization and people that's raped and molested young boys, had knowledge of it for years and covered it up as well as protected its priests. So we all know how they think and oh I almost forgot , do we even mention the thinking mind of Phleger.
I don't remember the Archbishop of St Louis or Baltimore particularly doing or saying anything that helped when those cities went up in flames. If the West Side goes up lets see His Eminence Cupich go to the front of the mob after the first liquor stores have been looted and burned and say, PEACE BE WITH YOU.
Will Cupich demand that the Catholic members of city government atone for their sins.
Will he demand that the atonement from Richard M. Daley and Eddie Burke be restoring all the money they stole from the city treasury and our pension fund.
Or no, Holy Name Cathedral got envelopes from them, or free water, trash collection or God knows what.
This guy, isn't this the same guy who did a sermon and had some anti-police rhetoric? The pope spoke before congress separation church and state? The blasé really needs to worry about "his flock" the pope and him want more illegal invaders here, and gentlemen many cause murders, and crime! So please do your job thanks blasé! Suppose you support police, speak out blasé about funding police pension, support your police, stage protests to hire depleted police officers, protests for judges in front of 26 and California who let the felonious criminals free to maim and murder more citizens that would be "change we can believe in!"
Ask "Blase" if he thinks those tortured Christians in Iraq and Syria and Egypt wished they had the right to bare arms
At the time the Second Amendment was written the Brown Bess Musket WAS a military grade assault weapon. Every army in the world used it or some variation of it.
" . . . perverted . . . "
---------------------------------------------------------
I don't think he should be using that term.
2nd amendment has zero to do with citizens being cops and everything to do with guarding against government tyranny
a secondary benefit is discouraging foreign invasion against an armed populace
Well said.
SCC, Blase contradicted himself:
The Second Amendment was passed in an era when organized police forces were few and citizen militias were useful in maintaining the peace.
Police (in Chicago) are few (thanks Swan Lake) so the good (I mean good) citizens need to arm themselves (gun, knife, mace, whatever works).
Blase and the Pope need to get their nose out of U.S. government matters stat.
Full disclosure: Not Catholic.
--No Cop Here
religious zealotry should be considered a mental handicap !
It's really very elementary, my Dear Watson!
Enforce the laws already on the books and keep the lawbreakers in prison as they were intended. Stop offering simple probation. Stop plea bargaining for misdemeanors. Stop letting convicts out of prison after serving less than a fraction of their original sentence. Make all sentences for MULTIPLE crimes CONSECUTIVE instead of CONCURRENT.
Ding, ding, ding! Problem solved!
Of course then, they'll have to find new voters to keep the politicians in office.
And wouldn't it be convenient, as FELON George Ryan suggested, if they no longer identified FELONS? Then there would be no reason why a FELON could not vote. The Democrats could set up a polling place in all of the Max prisons in Illinois and keep their cushy government jobs and continue their corruption and thievery.
Politicians (and apparently now the clergy) are as big a problem as the criminals. It has to STOP!
Actually the Constitution was written, Blase, with exactly things like this in mind. The founding fathers were vague on purpose. In fact, the argument fits better with the original intent of the drafters if you say shouldn't schools, that operate with state and federal assistance and often times are actually state run institutions run by government actors, be precluded from prohibiting guns on campus? And shouldn't the argument be made that if every single person, or even just a few, or maybe just one person was armed on these campuses the carnage would be limited to the assailant? That is the more common sense argument. The crazy fucks that go on these rampages would not be stopped or deterred brim "stricter gun laws". Sorry, nice try Obama. And if the right argues the common sense side the media will have a field day with them! The reality is more law abiding citizens need to be encouraged to arm themselves and educated on the right to protect oneself. People like Cupich and Obummer and Hillary are out of touch clowns that have no idea about reality.
Stick to religion not political agendas. Interestingly, you are silent when Christians are being slaughtered in the Middle East by ISIS or Islamic Syria Islamic State. Maybe Christians in the U.S. have a moral obligation to protect themselves and their families via responsible gun ownership. Those massacred in the Middle east were unarmed and confronted by armed extremists who seek to make them and their religion as extinct as dinosaurs.
Instead of worrying about guns, examine the roots causes leading up to this inner city carnage. Single parents, lots of churches but no religious teachings of right from wrong, poverty and despair perpetrated by monthly government generosity, global warming(borrowing this one from the Pontiff), a lack of respect for life, the proliferation of drug/substance/alcohol abuse on someone else dime too name a few. Address these issues via your sermons and homilies and leave the Constitutional stuff alone already. Stop being used as tool by progressives who by the way support abortions and mock, ridicule and impugn Christians each and every opportunity they get.
WOW! Way to go SCC! You got it right, just watch out for lightning bolts and shit for speaking the truth! (:-)
Unfortunately this guy is an embarrassment. Speaking foolishly. Guys like him protect criminals because it makes them feel good but at the same time the good get left out. Evil follows no laws. He should know that. Hey Blazey...it's not conceal carry holders doing the shooting. Now go hug the fake father phlegar.
Does the good bishop still have 24/7 police protection?
Let's be honest! why are there so few protests when in the black communities, so many are shot,maimed,killed take your flock and march! march to city hall demand more police hiring immediately, demand police be respected, demand police pensions be funded properly, demand county judges to do their jobs and put these felons away for gun offenses, demand laws already on books are enforced, Demand Toni Preckwinkel (Crook county board president) stop lying with the "to many black and brown in jail, early release" you go to jail because you did something to disrupt society weather it be theft or murder now Blase your up! What say you?
You know, the Pope could help millions of the downtrodden in cities all over the world, by just simply, and voluntarily, paying taxes on the Church's vast real estate holdings.
Imagine all the money flowing into cash-strapped city's coffers, going out to the needy.
You'll HAVE to imagine it, because it will never happen.
And, yeah, if I want political advice I'm afraid a guy wearing a gold-plated hat and a dress are pretty far down on the list.
I would just like to add that when the Second Amendment was written, a lead ball front loading musket was an assault weapon...There were no terrorists shooting innocent people in theaters, and campuses, and there were very likely no such thing as home invasions. We obviously live in more dangerous times, and these self righteous sluggards would restrict our most basic protection of freedom and liberty.
It looks like I will be saving a lot of money on Sundays watching Mass for "Shut ins".
Bishop Stupid, what did Jesus say about the Keystone pipeline.

US priests accused of sex abuse get a second chance by relocating to South America
Read www.globalpost.com The vatican has been relocating priests to south america from the US and Europe who have ben accussed of sexual abuse. IT'S STILL GOING ON AND THE ORDERS ARE COMING FROM THE VATICAN. But don't believe me jsut some retired cop who knows nothing read it all at the website above. talk about unfucking believeable!
Another idiot, forget the pile of laws that are circumvented by the States Attorney, the judges who are just blasting through there court calls not asking, the parole board decisions to let POS out way before their time.... lets just run our mouth and demand another law that is totally ignored, brilliant thinking

10/16/2015 08:03:00 AM<<<
The Second Amendment was first to keep government from treatening the population, to keep the population safe from invading British troops and marauding native raiders.
We now have a government that wants to over govern us, to rob us and take away our rights. ISIS and other foreign terrorists that threaten us, but most of all we have bands of criminals, some of them armed that on come suddenly, in the hundreds or more and destroy whole portions of our cities while government gives them "room to destroy".
There was a National Geographics show on recently about two great blackouts in the Eastern Seaboard and what happened in New York. The first one was before the Johnson Administration and people helped out and directed traffic and few were hurt. The second in 1977 produced riots and looting for no other reason that the darkness hid their faces and security had collapsed. The looting was in three phases. The first group grabbed the valuable stuff like TVs and stereos. The second group grabbed all the essentials like food, shoes and clothes. By this time the store owners had returned to find the third group finding nothing left to steal burned the buildings. That was in 1977 and some of those areas never recovered.
See this documentary if you can and imagine if this were to happen here and now. Tell me you would feel the need for an AK-47 or Benelli Shotgun.

Why do you always have to announce it when you attend a Special Agents Association meeting?
Civilians arming themselves
"In this atmosphere of fear, many Israelis are changing the routes of their commutes, and many who have handgun permits are carrying weapons. Others are applying for permits.
"The Israeli government has even called for them to do so.
"The responsible civilian population -- in the framework of the rule of law -- has a part to play," Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said Thursday. "We've urged Israelis to be vigilant. ... Having the civilian population work closely with law enforcement is one of the keys in defeating this threat."
http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/16/middleeast/israel-palestinian-tensions/index.html
...but other people, whether being slaughtered by ISIS or hurled down the "L" stairs to their deaths by a phonesnatcher, should roll their eyes and baa like sheep.
Thanks, Blase. I'm not so sure anymore about a religion in which the head guy carries a shepherd's crook when a rifle would seem to be more appropriate.
"At the time the Second Amendment was written the Brown Bess Musket WAS a military grade assault weapon. Every army in the world used it or some variation of it..."

...and when expertly handled by professional troops, drilled to perfection and standing their ground three-deep in a lethal, unapproachable "hollow square," it was the Weapon Of Mass Destruction of that time.
"First rank, FIRE!"
"Second rank, FIRE!"
"Third rank, FIRE!"
Those volleys would lop small trees...and anyone not killed outright was looking at a major amputation from the terrible wound created by that .69-caliber soft lead ball.
There were ongoing changes in weapons technology even at that time; the Founding Fathers were certainly aware of the American citizen-soldier tactic of using the lighter, longer-ranged Kentucky-style rifled-bore pieces to pot at redcoats from cover. Moving along a bit, Abraham Lincoln personally tested the new breech-loading Spencer carbine on the White House grounds, and immediately ordered it for Union troops.
...and as the years went by, '98 Krag, '03 Springfield, M1 Garand, M14, M16, M4...
Far-sighted enough to lay out the ground work for a vast new nation, yet they supposedly "never envisioned" that evil would remain on this earth, and would need to be dealt with.
I call BS.
A dying breed. No matter how much the news wants to shove it down our throats religion is a thing of the past. And the world is better off.
Phather phlager is Henry Ward Beechers reincarnation. They look and act the same
Ah, the old "second amendment is outdated" argument. The founding fathers meant muskets, never envisioned modern weaponry, blah, blah, blah. I doubt the founding fathers ever envisioned meth labs or the current amount of heroin overdoses. Maybe we should do away with the fourth amendment. It's outdated and we could save countless lives if we removed that obstacle and were allowed to go after the dealers without such restrictions.
These liberals and their phallic obsession with big nasty "assault weapons". They show their true ignorance of what is happening out in the streets. I've been in scene for at least 100 shootings in the past 20 years. I could count (easily) on Rham's bad hand, the number of these shootings that involved an assault rifle.

Hey Fadder the 2nd Ammendment was put their to protect the citizens against a rogue government. Stick to dealing with your pedophile priests. ♠️
The cat is out of a bag, everyone is armed to the teeth, especially thughs. Tougher gun laws? They are already on the books, Chicago had some of the toughest, did it work, clergy? These people are delusional.
The US should adopt the same approach to guns as Switzerland. The problem is, in places like Chicago and others, a lot of law abiding citizens think guns = gangsters. Denial.
To the unpublished moron:
We never tried, claimed, denied the arch-gungrabber his right to free speech. We said he should shut his ignorant trap about something he obviously knows nothing about. You sound like an ignorant leftist turd, making up things we never said or advocated.
Asshat.
How did the Bible put it? "Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye."
Hey Blase, put your own house in order before attempting to order ours.
This is a by-product of another Euro that knows nothing of this Country and it's history or tradition coming here to "lead" and spread their socialist garbage. The criminals here are not the downtrodden and oppressed , they are straight up gangsta's and his divine intervention is not going to "save" them, Further more I find it hysterical that all of these moronic leftys are so focused on an inanimate object that can do nothing without human action. How about going back and looking at what all your "social" programs have brought in to play. Starting with the attitude of entitlement. and the inability to take any personal responsibility for their own actions and inaction's. Why must it ALWAYS be something or someone else's fault ?
The best answer for a "leader" like this is to turn of the money. Sure I will continue attend mass every Sunday but I will NOT donate a single dime to the Church until the Church is receptive to the wants and opinions of all not just the minority
Yo Blase what up?????
How about you apply for a FOID card and then go thru the process of trying to purchase a firearm from a Federally Licensed dealer in Chicago ? Oh that's right there aren't any. But hey if you did try then you would know what laws are in place and how many background checks you have to pass. But hey why let the facts get in the way of Mike Phleger's agenda since he is the one spoon feeding it to you
And yes the Church has made Millions off it's interest in Beretta

I have a friend who works for Catholic Charities. They are quietly preparing for an onslaught of refugees from the Middle East. They are looking for places for them to stay and stocking foodstuffs and clothing.
I doubt many of these refugees will become good American Catholics.
I left the church two years ago and never felt better. God and I are one and I don't need a molester to tell me how to connect to God.

The Second Amendment’s original intent has been perverted by those who, as Pope Francis recently commented, have profited mightily. Surely there is a middle ground between the original intent of the amendment and the carnage we see today.
Lets be Honest ????? Well if were going to do that how about you Mr . Cupich educate yourself on the issues instead of listening to some ignorant wanna be........... Learn the facts then speak with some intelligence, instead of sounding like some political shill. Do even know what the weapon of choice is for the Gangsta Thugs??? Do you know how many rifles were used in the 400 or so murders Chicago will have this year ?? How about you go down to your boy Mike's place and walk around the streets over there at night and then come back and tell the rest of us how much you enjoyed your visits with the "downtrodden" or roll out to the "Wood" and do a little street preaching maybe.

If The top three schools aren't Catholic schools as you claim, and you actually believe the statistic you put forth, it might be because neither you nor any of your progeny were enrolled in them. I'll take Regina, Fenwick or St. Viator and you can have Latin School, Lane Tech, and Walter Payton. You can spot the graduates of Catholic schools from a mile away. End the denial you're in because you would rather spend $200,000 to put a vinyl sided box atop your puny little ranch house instead of spending it to ensure your children's success and growth. Man, I always thought public schoolers looked like they have two heads...
Hey Cardnial check out Luke 22:36, Jesus speaking at The Last Supper, He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." ♠️
Will the Cardinal tell the new arrivals that they must change to be more like their new country or tell this country they must change to be more like their new arrivals.

The Pope and Cupcake are two commie America hating spawn of Satan. They are just trying to distract from their priests molesting children. F 'em.
"If The top three schools aren't Catholic schools as you claim"
You left out the many other much higher ranked schools than that Jesuit crap; let's see...Northside, Young, Jones, Parker, UC Lab, New Trier, Stevenson, Deerfield, Illinois Math & Science Academy...the list goes on. The is a reason that the enrollment at Catholic schools is tanking and many are shutting down...crappy education and history of church molestation. Truth hurts, my son.

If you look into this for a few, you will find this pattern everywhere. Lutheran Immigration And Refugee Services has a six-story office building, dedicated to bringing 'em in from all over the world as fast as possible. Church ladies in Iowa literally knit socks for "The Lost Boys," nomadic herdsmen from Somalia, "so they won't be cold" -- and then there are problems in the high school about the use of indoor plumbing, and about the local girls being milked, if you know what I mean, in the hallways. Ugly.
Some of the countries generating these "refugees" have vast material resources, minerals, oil, great wealth all concentrated in the upper 1%, foreign investors, and corrupt dictators building themselves palaces with solid-gold faucets -- that sort of thing. Invisible behind the tinted windows of their limousines, which bounce down the rutted dirt street past the tin-and-cardboard huts, scattering goats out of the way. They have the means to transform their nations -- but Emperor Pooh-Bah would rather splash in the pool behind the spiked fences, or go skiing in Switzerland.
Saw one US-based Evangelistic Christian web site with a big world map of all the countries they concern themselves with -- which did not include the United States. Needy Americans just get a "DONATE" button to click.
Hundreds and hundreds of these outfits, all connected and interlocked together. A lot comes in the top, but little trickles out of the bottom of the funnel. Many groups absorb a good deal of what they take in in their own fat salaries for "directors" and "coordinators" and "facilitators." They gather at banquets, displaying their dentition for the cameras as they hand each other little plaques and "awards."
"Charity begins at home."
I didn't leave the Catholic Church, the Catholic Church left me.
Catholic Church clean up your own back yard and jump a few centuries forward to the current time before commenting on current issues. The Old Boys network of priests molesting boys and just being hidden somewhere else in another parish or another state was and continues to be shameful. I haven't been to church in 20 years as a result.

Boy, you got it right between the eyes. When I was a kid, the congregation got a blast from the pulpit against dirt and immorality, and then we were sworn in to the Legion Of Decency. There actually was such a thing.
...and Bishop Fulton Sheen delivered fiery anti-Communist sermons on the black-and-white Magnavox TV at home.
Then Vatican II came along, and the church filled up with stupid felt banners and gee-tar masses and firebrand-radical young priests leading demonstrations and the "liberation theology" that today is especially prevalent in Latino churches; I have pictures of the Che Guevara banners being carried in their "religious" processions, all mixed together with the "No Human Being Is Illegal" squawking over the bullhorns -- and the gun-control archbishops and the child molesters and the empire-building Father Pflegers that the Church leaves in place for decades, afraid to follow their own rules and move these characters along.
Yeah, like you say, I "can't relate" to this sort of thing either.
"Surely there is a middle ground between the original intent of the amendment and the carnage we see today." Surely the same can be said for the 15th Amendment with regards to illegals and the crimes they commit. Michael Gordon would be alive today if it weren't for an illegal. But the LEFT will grant them amnesty in route to citizenship.
