Nowadays Alabama has become one of our most reliable Conservative states with two Republican senators, Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby. >>>
It looks like they just took a few steps back.
Church and Justice Department bring lawsuits over Ala. immigration measure
“This new Alabama law makes it illegal for a Catholic priest to baptize, hear the confession of, celebrate the anointing of the sick with, or preach the word of God to, an undocumented immigrant,” he wrote. “Nor can we encourage them to attend Mass or give them a ride to Mass. It is illegal to allow them to attend adult scripture study groups, or attend CCD or Sunday school classes.
“It is illegal for the clergy to counsel them in times of difficulty or in preparation for marriage. It is illegal for them to come to Alcoholic Anonymous meetings or other recovery groups at our churches.”
That’s crazy!
Since the Catholic Church has climbed into bed with the Devil’s Advocate, Eric Holder, to try and stop this law maybe, just maybe, we should see what the proponents of the law say in response before denouncing the Alabama state government as anti-Catholic bogots.
Not that anyone on FreeRepublic would ever be reactionary, of course.
