Catholic Leaders Express Concerns Over Trump’s Immigration Policies Clashing with Church Values
Several U.S. Catholic bishops have expressed strong opposition to President Donald Trump’s recent immigration policies, stating that these measures conflict with fundamental principles of their faith. Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, described certain provisions in the executive orders as “deeply troubling” and warned of their potential negative impact on vulnerable populations.
Bishop Mark J. Seitz, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ migration committee, also criticized the administration’s intensified immigration crackdown, highlighting the fear and anxiety it has instilled in immigrant communities.
These sentiments are shared by other religious leaders who argue that such policies contradict the core tenets of their faith, particularly the call to show compassion and mercy to marginalized groups, including immigrants.
