“The hostility of Protestants I can understand; they have historically been hostile to any Catholic immigrants. The hostility of Catholics to their fellow Catholics is scandalous and far from the spirit of brotherly love that should mark members of Christ’s Church.” So you assume that American Catholics really should be, as depicted by Protestants, disloyal citizens. These people come not as refugees but as economic opportunists. As a Catholic and as an American I say they should do what they must to improve their lot where they are, not at the expense of our poor and lower middle class.

Saint Paul’s Catholic church in Princeton NJ erected an out-sized statue of St Mary of Guadeloupe to the right of the main alter. Spanish masses are now the norm.
