After her husband was arrested in late 2013 for being an undocumented immigrant and locked up for five months in Pennsylvania’s York County Prison, Pilar Molina decided it was time to go to Mass. Every Tuesday morning, Molina, a Mexican-American mother of two, would arrive at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Norristown, Pennsylvania, and pray for her husband’s safe return to their home outside Philadelphia.
Eventually, her husband, Israel, was released after an immigration judge ruled in his favor -- an outcome that Molina, 30, calls “a miracle."
“I made a promise to myself that whatever happened, I would keep going to church," she said. "We can’t keep separating families -- mine or anyone else’s.”

Well in my younger and stronger days I would consider walking 100 miles for a cause SGT (Join to see). However, I wouldn't walk to keep a Pope taking about anything.

I certainly would; SGT (Join to see).
I certainly concur with Molina: It was a miracle that helped Molina's husband get out of jail.
It was also the Judge; who was compassionate enough, intelligent enough, (He was very, very familiar with the law.) and balanced enough- to be able to release Molina's husband from jail.
[My father was a Federal Administrative Law Judge.]

Keith, I didn't know what you meant at first with your LOL. LOL right back atcha; SGT (Join to see). Yes I do inspire; but inspiration is born in other people. I just throw things out there; and I am blessed and honored if anyone is inspired.

I suppose I would walk 100 miles for immigration if there was a reasonable cause for concern about immigration. However, I don't see any. There is a reasonable cause for concern about illegal trespass, but I don't think the Pope is in any position to do anything about that, is he?

I think it's more about her husband being released than changes in immigration CPT Jack Durish, but it makes for a good story.
