The Catholic Church, like the Democratic party, doesn't care if you're here illegally as long as you are faithful and grateful .
The new Catholic/American will supplant the old Catholic/American at the collection box and the ballot box .
"Nearly two million Hispanic live in metropolitan Chicago, representing in excess of 20% of the region’s total population and constituting the third largest Hispanic community in the United States. Contrary to the prevailing view, Hispanic are not a collection of immigrants from across the border. Sixty percent of Chicago’s Hispanic population is second and third generation, educated in the U.S., bi-lingual (with English being the primary language spoken) and represent an extremely diverse set "

It's the other 40% that seem to be non English speaking and recipients of the Catholic Church's best intentions:
Per the Chicago Archdiocese: https://pvm.archchicago.org/human-dignity-solidarity/immigration-ministry/about-us
Goals
Educate in understanding and respecting the dignity of every immigrant as a human being and recognizing the benefits of immigrants and immigration for our nation.
Educate the undocumented community to safeguard their basic rights and family unity.
Advocate for Compassionate Comprehensive Immigration Reform (using the principles of the U.S. Catholic bishops) and for the humane treatment of immigrant detainees and deportees.
Empower immigrants to participate in their communities through service, leadership formation and action, all the while promoting justice by implementing and coordinating immigrant-to-immigrant ministry in clusters of parishes through lay leadership teams.
Catch words: humane, compassionate, empower, promoting justice
Victims of pedophile priests appear to rank lower than immigrants in Church policy as they haven't seen too much compassion or justice at the Church's hands. Catch words to apply: coverup, intimidate, silence and secrecy
FB pages for many of the lower income Chicago Hispanic parishes are often in Spanish, church masses are in Spanish, food sold at the fund raising booths are chicharrones and elotes, not hot dogs and hamburgers. Here's one FB page of the parish of the recently deposed priest caught making out with another priest in Florida . Loyal hispanic parishioners message support for their priest, saying in Spanish "we are all sinners" and praying for his return

Many of the Catholic priests are recruited from Latin American countries , brought here to make the immigrants feel "at home"
Casa Jesus ,now shuttered, was one such effort: at least 8 foreign gay priests were known to have attended with two arrested for lewd behavior, two for child porn.

Other freebies offered by the Church : legal services that assist clients who are representing themselves by advising them of their rights and responsibilities as well as how to navigate the legal process when necessary. Helps them obtain SSDI .http://catholiccharities.net/GetHelp/OurServices/LegalServices/CCLA.aspx
They offer post abortion counselling, helping the mother- that- was get over the pain :https://www.catholic-charities.org/Services/ProjectRachel/ No emphasis on the aborted baby's pain.
I'm waiting for the first Church sponsored free abortion clinic
Sounds like the Catholic Church and the Democratic Party are joined at the hip.
