El Reverendísimo Mons. Mark J. Seitz, obispo de El Paso y presidente del Comité de Migración de la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los EE. UU. (USCCB), expresa su preocupación pastoral por las personas que temen por su situación migratoria o su capacidad de emigrar. El Obispo Seitz discute los síntomas de un sistema de inmigración deficiente y cómo el liderazgo de la Iglesia católica espera soluciones que beneficien tanto a la seguridad nacional como a la dignidad innata de todas las personas. El Obispo Seitz también comenta sobre la carta que recibió recientemente del Santo Padre el Papa Francisco expresando su cercanía con quienes trabajan en la frontera y con quienes sienten temor en estos tiempos. Hay una conexión inherente entre el trabajo de la Iglesia en temas Pro-Vida y el trabajo de la Iglesia en temas de inmigración, ambos tratan de reconocer la imagen y semejanza de Dios en el otro, a quien no conocemos -- ya sea el niño por nacer o el migrante que no hemos conocido. -- WEBSITES USCCB: http://www.usccb.org/ -- SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/usccb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/USCCB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/usccb LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/usccb

Most Rev. Mark J. Seitz, Bishop of El Paso and Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Migration expresses his pastoral concern for people who are fearful for their immigration status or ability to migrate. Bishop Seitz discusses the symptoms of a broken immigration system and how Church leadership are hoping for solutions that will benefit both our national security and the innate dignity of all people. Bishop Seitz also explains the letter he recently received from the Holy Father Pope Francis expressing his closeness to those working at the border and those experiencing fear in these times. There is an inherent connection between the work of the Church on Pro-Life issues and the work of the Church on immigration issues, both deal with recognizing the image and likeness of God in the other, whom we do not know -- either the unborn child or the migrant who we have not met.

Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, USCCB President addressed the body of bishops this morning. “As the Successors of the Apostles and Vicars of Christ in our dioceses, we never back-pedal or renounce the clear teaching of the Gospel. We proclaim it in and out of season.... we must encourage people to work together, to listen to each other, and in disagreement never to forget that the other is created in the image and likeness of God and is, therefore, worthy of respect.” -- WEBSITES USCCB: http://www.usccb.org/ -- SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/usccb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/USCCB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/usccb LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/usccb
