Daily Beast on OMalley and Francis | National Catholic Reporter

Daily Beast on OMalley and Francis | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I disagree with Dickey or his editor on the title.  Immigrants are not just the future of the Church, they are it past and present.  That is also true for the Democratic Party - as it wa for the Tamany Hall Republicans more than a century ago for the Irish and the Italians (not so much for the Jews).  Of course, the Irish have changed sides for the most part and they are Democrats.  For Latinos, the Republicans were gaining more of them but after W. the nativists came out in force and lost Latinos for a generation.  You never believe someone who disrespcts you so the pro-lifers in the GOP have gone along with shooting themselves in both feet (although they will still indoctrinate Latino kids in Catholic schools).
