#1 Ah yes. Good ol seperation of church and state.

Two things the government WILL clamp down on, white Churches who endorse certain candidates on one extreme (threatened with the loss of IRS non-profit status if they do endorse) and on the other extreme, Islamist religious groups who want to import Islamists.

But, NO, can't clamp down on Catholic churches who organize political rallies by the tens of thousands of illegal Mexicans in the US to change Federal politics, NO NO NO. Can't do clamp down on THAT.

#3 careful on the broad brush on the Catholic Churches. Our parish in La Mesa, CA does NOT support any sanctuary position

Sorry - it isn't a 'political rally'. Disagreeable as it is (and I disagree with my bishops on this), they do have a right to engage in rallies on issue advocacy.

What they cannot do is advocate, endorse, or promote a political candidate or party.
