Cardinal Mahoney of Los Angeles and his Catholic Cardinal cronies have stepped into the political arena "willing to take the heat" and fight illegal immigration bills presented by the House and the Senate.

A cynical view: Mahoney couches his position in "treating people humanely", yet I do not recall the same fervent stance against pedophile Priests under his domain who routinely treated young boys inhumanely—raping and molesting them and robbing them of their innocence. No, Mr. Mahoney was inhumanely quiet on this issue.

Losing billions of dollars through lawsuits directed at the church’s immoral cover-ups, the LA church can't turn off the tithes spigot they receive from their largest constituents: Hispanics. So, they turn on the rhetoric and shameless pandering to illegal people (Hispanics mostly) entering the U.S.

They had their chance to do the right thing and didn’t. Mahoney and the rest of his gang are morally empty but hoping for a full coffer come Sunday Mass.
