MGB:_Why is Bannon getting a 60 Minutes interview? He is a has-been whose job is to tell right wing lies. You may as well interview Satan, although I am guessing he was not available. Like any devil, Bannon was right about the Church having problems, although some of them come from dealing with right-wingers like Bannon. It was interesting to agree with Cardinal Dolan on anything, but even he could see how off base Bannon was on immigration. Most Latinos, by the way, are not European (except the light skinned ones), but are mostly Native American. Imagine if Aztec people were given tribal rights. The southwest would never be the same.
No one is forced into Church or into a particular sect and the degree to which many poorer imigrants are Pentacostal should have the Republicans clamouring for immigration reform, as those churches are as likely to be filled. If we spoke more of the social Gospel (which makes workers more comforatable), I suspect Catholic Churches would fill as well, but the unreasonableness of the asexual bad news was the last straw for many Catholics who liked the Mass as a place to tune out, not participate. It is easier to ignore Latin droning than English unless you just stay home. In Europe, people probably stayed away for the same reasons, as well as guilt over letting the Nazi’s happen, folks like Bannon.
