As I pedaled away at the stationary bicycle this morning, I flipped through the channels to see what was on CNN News. At the moment, I was lucky to see the beginning of the mass Pope Benedict was leading at the Nationals Park. The CNN commentators were sure that the Pope would address various issues during his homily, including a Spanish version to the Latin American families present at the ceremony.

Pope Benedict, according to the Associated Press, urged the American government to adopt fair legislation for the millions of immigrants who are out of status. More importantly, he stressed that immigrants should be treated humanely.

Despite the peaceful advice from the Pope, Tom Tancredo slammed the Pope's call for fair immigration reform. He descredits the Pope's message by merely arguing that the main interests of the Pope is to increase church membership by using the issue of immigration. He calls the Pope's schemes "faith-based marketing." Nothing more is expected from Tom.

In my opinion, the Pope's call for reform during today's mass will certainly be noticed by most Christians. It's not just a scheme to increase church membership--many Christians do believe that a reasonable way to deal with the broken immigration system should be crafted.
