Santo Domingo. - Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez Thursday railed the U.S Ambassador’s criticism of the state of Law in the Dominican Republic, affirming that Washington lacks moral authority to do so.
Responding to Raul Izaguirre’s statements in the American Chamber of Commerce event Wednesday, the prelate noted that although he acknowledges that many aspects have to be shored up, the diplomat’s country also has many things to correct.
He said one must have the morals to advise others, especially if the advisor comes from a country which, although democratic, has many things that don’t function well.
Lopez Rodriguez also admits that when he speaks about the United States, he always has points of contention, and affirmed that the U.S. specifically in Arizona, is the only country in the world where an illegal immigrant is treated as a criminal. “I like for the one who’s going to give me advice to have all the authority to do so.”

Poor misinformed wretch!
As a Roman Catholic lay person, I apologize for the arrogance of uninformed, mal-educated priests, deacons and religious ... please pray for them.
Liberalism opens the gates of heaven to satan.
Legalism closes the gates of heaven to saints.
There is a difference between liberalism and generosity.
God is Love. God is also the Avenger of Souls. God is Justice tempered with Mercy, not the other way around.
There’s too much Liberation Theology coursing through the hearts of Catholic Priests, especially in the Americas. You won’t find the same attitude among those in Europe or Asia.
God Bless.
