I was thrilled to find your blog and will be looking in on it regularly as I struggle to keep in touch with yet another complex set of struggles in another country I've come to appreciate a little bit.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope liberation theology is making some kind of come back -- people ought to be told they are human and they matter!

One wonders when Bishop Vera will be silenced.<BR/><BR/>I found my visit to the shrine of Nuestra SeƱora de Guadalupe quite moving, and not at all tacky. There were more devout pilgrims than tourists many years ago, when I was there.<BR/><BR/>Off topic, I had an SSSS boarding pass on the flight home and got the full treatment.

My boss is an immigration attorney and we deal with the problems the they have here in the U.S. I get asked all the time if our clients are here legally and my answer is "I don't know and I don't want to know." I just do what is asked of me. My boss appreciates my stance. <BR/><BR/>I applaud the Bishop for his strong sermon -- he tells it like it is.Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-81421532126867455922007-07-24T15:13:00.000-07:002007-07-24T15:13:00.000-07:00A slight correction.

Saltillo is a major industrial center, and the state as a whole has thriving manufacturing, mining and agricultural concerns. It's also one of the more progressive states... after all, it is the state that first legalized gay marriage in Mexico. <BR/><BR/>Raul Vega may be "THE" Red Bishop, but Liberation Theology seems to be making a comeback, if the recent Latin America Bishops' Conference was any indication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-72013044414912225532007-07-24T11:51:00.000-07:002007-07-24T11:51:00.000-07:00I follow the news from Mexico and was pleased to f...I follow the news from Mexico and was pleased to find your blog. I will add a link, but I get so busy that I often miss news as it comes up. If there's anything special, please send me an e-mail with something like "News from Mexico" in the subject line. <BR/><BR/>Charles from MercuryRising<BR/>http://www.phoenixwoman.wordpress.com<BR/>E-mail: CharlesUtwaterII (at) aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
