What the Border-Hawk Catholics Get Wrong
Briefly

Pope Francis recently condemned the crisis of mass deportations in the U.S. and urged the faithful to reject narratives that harm migrants. Critics, such as R. R. Reno and Matt Walsh, have accused him of promoting a borderless utopia and undermining conservative Catholicism. They argue he prioritizes liberalism over doctrine. This controversy highlights a deeper rift within American Catholicism regarding immigration, suggesting that, paradoxically, it is the critics who diverge from traditional Catholic values rather than the Pope.
Critics of Pope Francis express concern over his immigration views, claiming they align with traditional church teachings while they actually bypass a longstanding Catholic tradition.
In a significant letter, Pope Francis addressed America's bishops, condemning mass deportations as a major crisis and advocating for compassion towards migrants.
