Lust, Not Compassion, Drives Unholy Priests to Illegal Aliens

By John W. Lillpop

Pope Benedict's recent pilgrimage to America focused on two major issues of the day. Namely, the untoward history of sexual abuse by Catholic priests and the church's anti-law and order position when it comes to illegal aliens.

The two issues may, in fact, be intertwined more than generally realized.

Specifically, as police in San Jose, California are discovering, some alleged men of God may actually be motivated more by sexual lust than "Christian Compassion" when it comes to fighting for illegal aliens.

Take the case of Pastor Gustavo Antonio Lanzas, former pastor of Iglesia Cristiana Luz y Verdad, Spanish for the Christian Church of Light and Truth.

Lanzas, 64, is being held in a Santa Clara County Jail, without bail, after being accused of 12 felony counts of lewd acts with a minor. Additional charges may be added, according to prosecutor Jim Demertzis.

The undoing of Lanzas and disclosure of his alleged sexual crimes came when a 16-year-old boy charged that he been molested by the family's priest, Pastor Gustavo Antonio Lanzas, starting when the boy was just 13.

San Jose police say they have identified six possible victims of Lanzas' alleged sexual indiscretions, and want to talk to several other families.

Police point out that illegal aliens are particularly vulnerable to assault by priestly predators because illegals fear having their illegal status exposed. Unholy men apparently use that fear to keep young prey quiet.

It is bad enough when prominent leaders in any church eschew Biblical admonitions concerning "Do not steal," "Do not covet your neighbor's property," and "Do not bear false witness" in order to defend those here unlawfully.

It is far worse, and unforgivably evil, to promote violation of the law in order to have a readily available stock of young, fearful prey with which to satisfy one's perverted lust.

Illegal aliens are a curse on America. Preventing and reversing the invasion of America should in no way be mollified by heeding the words of religious leaders driven by sexual lust.
