US EditionCatholic Bishops Issue Rare Statement Objecting to U.S. Immigration Tactics
- On Nov. 12, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a rare special message opposing indiscriminate mass deportation at their Baltimore meeting, passing it 216 to five with three abstentions.
- Citing parish impacts and fear, the bishops said the Trump administration's enforcement has limited migrants' access to communion, and Cardinal Blase Cupich urged a stronger stance as language coalesced.
- They launched the You Are Not Alone campaign to provide aid to migrants, announced by Mark Seitz, Bishop of El Paso and chair of the bishops' migration committee, while a small drafting group of bishops led by Richard Henning, Boston Archbishop, shaped the message.
- They endorsed meaningful immigration reform while stressing nations must regulate borders, and bishops said statements must be followed by action, noting individual votes are private and none opposed spoke publicly.
- Only a few bishops publicly named the president while Oscar Canté, Bishop of San Jose, warned the church may soon feel the impact of billions allocated for enforcement and noted 14% of Catholics are children of immigrants.
