Immigration and the American and Catholic Ideal
Today’s topics: Immigration and the American and Catholic Ideal
Summary of today’s show: As Congress returns to Washington and takes up the political football of immigration reform, Cardinal Seán has written to parishioners in Boston asking them to get involved in the debate from a moral standpoint. In addition, Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles reminds us in a lecture of the history of an America that was Hispanic-Catholic before it was Anglo-Protestant. Scot Landry, Fr. Chris O’Connor, and Fr. Chip Hines consider the words of these bishops and discuss immigration from a Catholic moral and social justice viewpoint.
