Los Angeles archbishop, others announce immigration initiative

LA Times

Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez and other Southern California bishops announced Saturday an initiative to assist an estimated 2.4 million legal permanent residents in the United States who are seeking citizenship.

The joint effort, announced at the Immigration Summit held at the Christ Cathedral in Orange County, will “offer practical assistance for legal residents seeking citizenship,” according to a release from the Los Angeles Archdiocese.  

“Our struggle has never been about politics. It’s always been about people. People who are hurting and exploited, people who are dying,” Gomez said in a statement. “If we work this year to encourage naturalization and citizenship — this will make a real difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.”

The summit, which included more than 400 parish leaders from 40 parishes across Southern California, is aimed at discussing the efforts of the Catholic Church to help immigrants “who are impacted by the broken U.S. immigration system,” the release said.

  1. What the hell is it with the Catholic Church? I guess if I was born and raised Catholic I’d understand? WTF? “It’s always about people.”

    Well then, take care of your people, Jesus Christ! We got people starving on our streets but let’s go to Peru and slay some indigenous “Non-believers!

  2. “Our struggle has never been about politics.”

    At least not on the face of it.

    Ultimately, however, it’s about Zionist NWO politics just the same.

    There can be no doubt whatsoever that the Catholic church is slated to be THE One World Religion.

  3. after extensive research, i came to the conclusion that the reason the word “catholic” isnt found in the bible is simply that in the eyes of God, it exist as it was created. unrepentant, unbaptized roman jews,that twisted the meaning of scripture to usurp the authority of the early church, and she has taken her place in history as part of the whore of babylon…

  4. “an initiative to assist an estimated 2.4 million legal permanent residents in the United States” How in the hell can they be legal permanent residents if they are not citizens or have green cards. If they have green cards then they don’t need the help of the church. And a green card does not give permanent residence to anyone. 2.4 million illegals is what it should have read.
