Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Taliban Apologist) has been beating the drums against illegal immigrants recently
, and is now going against the Catholic Church for following the wasy of the Nazarene when it comes to strangers in a foreign land, which begs the question: why has Dana never criticized the Church's pedophilia scandal?

The orthodox Catholic website California Catholic Daily reports Rohrabacher blasted the Catholic Church because it dared try to help Mexicans on Catalina Island. "The Catholic church should sell its many, many assets in this state and give these people food and health care, and educate them," the website quoted Dana as saying.

Funny--Rohrabacher, who has a history of speaking on issues that have nothing to do with his district or logic--never mentioned those words while various pedophile priests terrorized his constituents in Huntington Beach during the late 1980s and early 1990s, or about the continued pedo-protectors lead by Diocese of Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown. Could it be because Dana sympathizes with Brownie on harboring pedophiles given Dana's former D.C. aide, Jeffrey Nielsen, was convicted of molesting boys? Heckuva job, Brownie!
