A group of Catholic priests have signed a pledge opposing a law that's intended to crack down on illegal immigration. The pledge from Oklahoma City Archdiocese priests and Archbishop Eusebius Beltran will be presented to Governor Brad Henry's office.
Reverend Michael Chapman says the priests find themselves in a dilemma. Chapman says while there's no question it's against the law to be in the U.S. illegally he believes there is a higher law of charity and helping fellow man.
The pledge calls the law ``unjust and immoral'' and says the priests will continue helping all people regardless of the citizenship status.
The new law, House Bill 1804, is set to go into effect next Thursday. KOTV

I WANT THOSE PRIESTS ARRESTED! If they are going to disobey the law than I have just as much right to disobey the law! They are no better than me. If they can break the law, then it should be ok if I go out and shoot some Mexican lawbreakers. They are trying to marry church and state and RUN the state. How dare they! If they don't like our laws, they should just get the hell out and go to Mexico and protest THEIR laws that are making their people so miserable. You wanna fight priests??? Come'on, bring it. Show me you will fight for a FOREIGN power to overthrow our government. You dirty traitors. You taint the name of Jesus by ignoring the misery of your own people. Oh, but that's right, so many Americans found out the dirty truth about you all and refuse to fill your filthy coffers with their hard-earned money. Didn't they? Isn't that REALLY why you hate America and it's people now? You devil worshippers...you scorn your neighbors in favor of our enemies. May you receive ten-fold of the hate that you display for the people of America. You sound more like you're practicing the religion of the Islamic terrorists than the Christianity you lie about preaching. You will reap what you sow.

Top two definition of NEIGHBOR: 1.One who lives near or next to another.
2.A person, place, or thing adjacent to or located near another.
While there is deprivation and misery and suffering ANYWHERE in America, you are stabbing your neighbor in the back and rejecting Jesus's words ANYTIME you place a MEXICAN INVADER above an AMERICAN CITIZEN. You just can't resist crucifying Jesus over and over and over again; can you priests?
