Fr. Sean Carroll: Why my priesthood calls me to resist immigration injustice
This is our ministry, and as a Catholic priest, it is an answer to a divine calling.
For me, the teachings of the Catholic Church are as clear as God’s commands to the people of Israel in Hebrew Scriptures: We are called to welcome widows, orphans, the poor and migrants.

Perhaps no person has done more to focus the public’s attention on the plight of migrants and the risks they face than Pope Francis.
When the pope visited Mexico a year ago this week, he traveled to the border with the U.S. and articulated his vision for a world where death and the exploitation of those seeking a better life are no longer commonplace.
