A Reflection for the Feast of St. Matthias, Apostle, by Kevin Clarke

What is transpiring in Sacramento is part of a long, sorrowful litany of migrants being shuffled around as fodder for the propaganda of feeble, failed ideas.

France has long been known as “the eldest daughter of the church.” Argentina is the home of Pope Francis. What’s a Catholic to do?

Bernardo Arévalo campaigned on an anti-graft agenda in a contest that many in Guatemala had assumed was rigged from the start against insurgent candidacies.

Pope Francis has spoken regularly about the devil and has reminded us that the devil is not simply a pop-culture trope.

No just law can stop solidarity at the arbitrary line of a border, nor can a just government require the church to condition the works of mercy on the immigration status of those in need.

Ron DeSantis has signaled that he will make Florida’s restrictive immigration policies a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. He is ignoring the fact that our nation relies on immigrant labor.

The notion that the flow of migrants will be stemmed by closing asylum “loopholes” is grotesque. Sometimes it’s hard to believe anyone in Congress sees migrants as human beings.

To reach Catholics in the pews—and to influence public policy on immigration—church leaders should make it clear that they are not advocating for “open borders.”

It just got harder for foreign priests to stay in the U.S.
