Church must help others overcome ‘fears’ about migration, pope says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePope Francis tells Central American bishops that the Catholic Church must work to help others overcome their “fears and suspicions” about migration.
Speaking from Panama in Central America — the hub for caravans of migrants heading to the United States — Francis says migrants were simply seeking “the minimum conditions for a better future.”
He says the church, with hospitality and acceptance, can facilitate “dialogue and to help overcome fears and suspicions, and thus consolidate the very bonds that migrations — in the collective imagination — threaten to break.”
