Pope Francis: ‘I too am a child of migrants’
The Catholic Church can draw closer to Jesus by accompanying migrants in their pursuit of a better life, Pope Francis said.
The human face of immigration
As Pope Francis has often said, “reality is greater than ideas.” That phrase comes to mind as I reflect on the ill-tempered remarks that are reported in the media vilifying migrants entering the United States. Words such as “criminals” and “terrorists,” among other depictions that portray these suffering families as subhuman because of their ethnicity or race, are very disturbing and just plain wrong. These words, and the ideas behind them, do not match the reality that we as a church have experienced over centuries of welcoming newcomers.
