You would then support "increasing their numbers in my country". Out of curiosity, how far are you willing to take the criteria of party affiliation? You'd exclude immigrants who tend to vote for the Democrats - due to abortion. I assume that you would also exclude immigrants who support the neo-conservative mainstream of the GOP - same difference - neo-conservatives are not known for their pro-life bona fides. I'm guessing that you would oppose out of hand anyone who tends toward the Greens, pro-life socialists that they are, and that Libertarians are at least questionable: personal choice, Rothbardian property theory, and all of that. So that leaves, who? Immigrants who swear allegiance to the Constitution Party? As far as Pope Benedict is concerned, do I understand you to say that he speaks in contradiction to, and not in the spirit of Church tradition? John, I don't want to belabor this. But it seems to me that this is a blind spot for one who otherwise seeks to exemplify and explain Christian tradition. Please consider this as you continue with your fascinating columns.
