How can anyone take these bishops seriously after they accepted billions in taxpayer funds helping illegal aliens invade our nation?
Archbishop Paul Coakley has stressed that the plight of migrants remains at the heart of the American bishops’ agenda in a wide-ranging interview.
In an interview with Vatican News following his election as president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), he identified immigration as “a burning issue” for the Church in the United States.
He recalled that the country is a nation “built on migration experience” and insisted the bishops must accompany and support immigrant communities as they face fear and uncertainty.
He added that advocacy must match pastoral care. The Church must “advocate for the good of the nation”, he said, ensuring that legal structures permit migrants, including religious workers, to enter and remain with their families. At the same time, he affirmed the need to protect borders and ensure that immigration is “carried out in an orderly fashion”.
Asked how the episcopate might help heal national divisions, Archbishop Coakley drew on the concept of communion. Using a phrase previously employed by Pope Francis, he said the bishops aim to be “agents and instruments of communion that will set an example in our society … that will help stand against the tendency towards increased polarization.”
