I was going to go to bed early, but then a breaking political story came up and I'm so angry I don't when I'll be able to sleep.

No, it's not the Katrina videotape. I mean, really, is anyone surprised by that?

No. It's that in the most recent immigration bill passed by the House, churches are required to check immigration status before granting aid.

Rat bastards.

The H of R, not the churches. Mahoney in L.A. came out lambasting it today in his Ash Wednesday sermon.

Repeat after me: These people ARE NOT CHRISTIANS.

From the news stories I've read churches -- a few SBC churches, RC churches are the ones I've heard mentioned, but I'd be really surprised if ECUSA didn't come out against it as well -- are basically indicating that they are going to ignore it even if it does get passed by the Senate and signed into law.

I'm confused.

there will be a law that will REQUIRE churches to check someone's immigration status/citizenship before being able to help them in a time of trouble? When did it become the government's business to tell the church who they can and can't help?

That's really.... bizarre, and what is this law supposed to do for us?

thanks for posting this, Pat
