•Catholics vow to resist measure
Catholic Archbishop Eusebius J. Beltran and a council of priests with the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City have signed a pledge opposing the state's new immigration law.

"We are making the statement that there is a higher law — a law of charity and helping your fellow man,” said the Rev. Michael Chapman.
