Thanks for your thoughts.

It is most dismaying that the Creator of the Universe dwindles away to a mere localized idol of "hearth and home" whenever politics rears its head. But the sad fact is that the vast majority of new Hispanic residents of the US (legal or illegal) will live their lives out in segregated and ethnic ghettoes where their conservative religious beliefs will be completely swallowed up by their alliance with abortionists, homosexuals, Communists, etc. It is also troubling that the only alternative to this that people like Pat Buchanan can come up with is not G-d's laws but rather "European civilization."

"Palaeos" often lament the declining birthrate in the US. There aren't enough Americans, they tell us. Yet the idea of millions of new Americans belonging to the wrong "civilization" to them is nothing but a tragedy.

When the primary political dispute of our age is between co-religionists (Pat Buchanan and most Mexicans) then G-d and religion have become very small issues indeed.

I sometimes wonder if extreme "Europeanist" Catholics would prefer to see non-European Catholics practice birth control, contraception, or abortion?

Wideawake: see also my previous posts to this thread.

Truly excellent points.

The Spanish community my church administers to has as many sinners as the other communities. One of the problems faced is the lack of catachetics in the Spanish community.

One of the newbies to the Church came to the Rectory and asked if she could get money for her abortion.

It is estimated that very few of these new people have been practicing Catholics in their old country and approach the Church specifically for social reasons.
