Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the U.S. bishops’ conference has responded to Pope Francis’ letter to the bishops regarding the country’s latest drive to deport unauthorized immigrants, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding human dignity and the goal of building a humane sys-tem of immigration. Broglio, highlighted the importance of centering the issue on Christ.
“As we struggle to continue our care for the needy in our midst and the desire to improve the situation in those places from which immigrants come to our shores, we are ever mindful that in them we see the face of Christ,” Broglio wrote. “In this jubilee year, may we build bridges of reconciliation, inclusion, and fraternity.”
