text: As to Bannon's thesis about money, it's true that the church isn't getting rich from illegal immigrants in her pews (although these people likely do contribute offerings per their means, and if we're talking about 5 million of them, that's not an inconsiderable source of revenue).
  
  But it's clear that the bishops aren't thinking of just this generation, but of the generations to come.   What other demographic holds hope for the Church's continued power in numbers?    Looking 50 years on, it's clearly not white America.   The Church has always been about thinking and planning for many generation in the future, and it sees the future in the demographic that is still strongly Catholic and has a high birthrate.   That would be Latinos.
  
  Instead of clutching their rosaries in mock outrage, the bishops should be be honest and admit Bannon is at least partially right.   But no, that's not how politics is played.
