(WASHINGTON TIMES) Catholics led by Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston took their recent Mass to the Arizona-Mexico border to stage a transnational prayer event aimed at pressing President Obama to hold back on deportations and save lives.
Roughly 300 attended, including bishops from across the West and Southwest, The Los Angeles Times reported. The main message of the mass: To honor those who died while trying to cross into the United States illegally.
The event was just the latest Catholic Church try to get Mr. Obama to use his executive authority — including his pen to sign executive orders — to keep deportations of illegals at a few and far between figure, The Los Angeles Times said.
