Pope Francis’s letter poses an implicit question to the whole church in the United States: Will we subject our political debates on immigration to the scrutiny of the Gospel or not?

More than two dozen Christian and Jewish groups filed a federal lawsuit to block a Trump policy allowing ICE agents to make arrests in places of worship.

The letter also stated that Francis disagrees with identifying the illegal status of migrants with criminality, and called on the bishops “to walk together” and defend the human dignity of the migrants in their country.

I cannot defend every entity that receives funding from U.S.A.I.D. I cannot even speak on behalf of C.R.S. But I can tell you what I saw when I traveled overseas to report on their work.

Cardinal Michael Czerny, Pope Francis’ point-man on migration and development, has urged the U.S. administration of President Donald Trump to remember Christian principles about caring for others.

Executive orders recently signed by Trump "are causing confusion both within various agencies and with those who interact with them."
