The Universal Church as Defender of the Rights of Migrants

"The Catholic Church and Immigration: Pastoral, Policy and Social Perspectives"
Catholic University, Washington DC
March 21-23, 2011

Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who presented at Catholic University on March 23, 2011, stated, "Migration is not always a pretty sight, as, because of the nature of our world, persons on the move are often running away from danger, from wars, persecution, or grinding poverty. However, it continues to be a permanent part of the international landscape that cannot be ignored, because it involves human beings and their welfare."
