text: Thank you, Sister. How I wish today's conservative Catholics would educate themselves about the immigrant, post-immigrant  lives of their American-Catholic ancestors. 
  
   They adopt the very hating and bigoted beliefs and tactics that were used against their  Catholic great grandparents.  They enthusiastically align with the Religious Right who proclaimed "No Irish Need Apply" or "Dago  Go Home." They have traded Hate Micks for Hate Gays, Hate Libs, Hate Feminists,  Hate Dems, and Hate Muslims---and see no irony! 
  
  "Hate sin but love sinners" is always the convenient mantra of those who get to define "sin." And being a Catholic was/is a great sin to  2017 "allies for the cause" not  long ago (Tuesday?)
  
  Grandma O'Brien and Grandpa Marinelli (Al Smith too) wonder why many Catholics have adopted the very thinking that degraded them. 
  
  Conservative Catholics eagerly sought and got arranged marriages of convenience (I see Phyllis Schlafly-Donald Trump).    There will be a morning after.
