“These brands of Christianity aren’t organized in such a fashion that socialists can easily infiltrate their ministries. The Catholics have a high bar to clear (celibacy)...”
Ummm...haven’t read the Pope’s encyclical, eh?
The Catholic Church has a LOT of pro-amnesty, liberal nuns and priests!
Pro-amnesty isn’t necessarily the same as pro-socialist, thought there are a lot of the same people in both camps. I think the motivation for pro-amnesty on the part of many Catholics is exactly the same as the motivation of many Evangelicals like Huckabee: they see the invasion from south of the border as people more likely to fill their pews and collection plates than native born Americans turned off by their shtick. They simply don’t think through the consequences of the short-term benefits. Sort of like the Chamber of Commerce, whom I also consider dead wrong on this issue but not necessarily socialist.
