U.S.A. -- Immigration and the Law

"It's not up to bishops or priests to come up with a formulation of what the law should be ..."

Ex - Jesuit priest and nowadays Bishop Robert Morlino, currently the head of the Diocese of Madison, Wisconsin.


Snippets from his interview with Jim Graves of The Catholic World Report, called Be Not Afraid. Final print issue of this magazine, December 2011.


"I'm concerned about immigration.

"We are capable of finding a way to welcome the stranger (Matthew 25:35) while respecting the laws of the United States.

"It' s not up to bishops or priests to come up with a formulation of what the law should be; we need great Catholic legislators to do so..."

Way to go, your excellency! :)
