The Catholic Church has lost much of it's membership, so now the priests are encouraging people to break the law. Since almost all Mexicans are Catholic it would be a great way to fill empty churches and provide fresh meat for the many homosexual pedophiles masquerading as God's representatives on the earth.

Wading back into the growing debate over illegal immigration, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony on Tuesday denounced what he called "hysterical" anti-immigrant sentiment sweeping California and the nation.
In an interview on the eve of Ash Wednesday, Mahony said he planned to use the first day of the Lenten season to call on all 288 parishes in the Los Angeles Archdiocese, the nation's largest, to fast, pray and press for humane immigration reform. U.S. Roman Catholic bishops support proposals for a guest-worker program, legalization of undocumented immigrants and more visas for migrants' families.
In his most forceful comments to date, Mahony said he would instruct his priests to defy legislation  if approved by Congress  that would require churches and other social organizations to ask immigrants for legal documentation before providing assistance and penalize them if they refuse to do so.
