 Los
Angeles, CA - Will Cardinal Roger Mahoney, the
Catholic Church and public schools once again
attempt to defeat a proposed ballot initiative
to ban taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens?
When
asked about power politics and the Catholic
Church, Loyola Marymount University’s
Fernando Guerra told the Full Disclosure cable
and internet TV program “the Cardinal feels
a responsibility, as do most of the Church hierarchy,
that they have to educate their parishioners
on what they believe are important issues”
and he went on to say that while the Catholic
Church, the Archdiocese, never directly spent
money in the campaign against Proposition 187
(1994) they do utilize their resources to try
to mobilize Catholics in general and Latinos
specifically.
In
this part two of an interview with former State
Senator Dick Mountjoy, the author of the Save
Our License Constitutional Amendment initiative,
he
generally disagreed with Guerra. “I
don’t believe the Catholic Church is going
to mobilize thousands of people and have them
believe that we ought to let people flood in
here from around the world illegally.”
“This is a matter of their pocketbook.
This is a matter of survival, a matter of competing
with those illegally here for jobs.” Mountjoy
said.
In
this interview with Emmy Award winning host
Leslie Dutton, Senator Mountjoy reacted to video
clips from a previous interview with Dr. Fernando
Guerra who serves as Director of the Center
for the Studies of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount
University.
