The Pilgrim's Progress

Sanctuary!

“The Church in the United States knows like few others the hopes present in the hearts of these ‘pilgrims.’ . . . Offer them the warmth of the love of Christ and you will unlock the mystery of their heart. I am certain that, as so often in the past, these people will enrich America and its Church.” [More]

Heck, what American doesn't like pilgrims?  And he's right, you know, at least about that "enriching the Church" part:

Immigration from Latin American countries has kept Catholic number stable in recent years, and 39 percent of American immigrants are Catholic.

Now that the hemorrhaging has stopped and they're stabilized, the birthrates'll have things climbing in no time.

And don't worry about that "wall of separation" forcing all Americans to bear burdens that will benefit the Church. Prozis only bring that up when they want to go after conservative value issues.
