VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — In a highly unusual move, Pope Francis has written to the Catholic bishops in the U.S. critiquing the “major crisis” of the Trump administration’s policies regarding illegal immigration and urging bishops to “work closely” with migrants.
Citing “these delicate moments that you are living as Pastors of the People of God who walk together in the United States of America,” Pope Francis’ letter was sent to the entire U.S. episcopate and published without prior public notice.
