"Una Iglesia menos poderosa, más desprovista de privilegios, más pobre y más cercana a los pobres siempre será una Iglesia más libre para sembrar semillas de Evangelio y más humilde para vivir en medio de la gente como fermento de una vida más digna y fraterna". Fr. Pagola

@BishopBarron Wow. At least this sad episode contributed to you finding the courage to address the prevalent dangerous rhetoric in American politics! Now can you address the attack of your president on Pope Leo and his threads to kill an entire generation of Iranians?

Fasting is a concrete way to prepare ourselves to receive the Word of God. Abstaining from food is an ancient ascetic practice that is essential on the path of conversion. It helps us to identify and order our “appetites,” keeping our hunger and thirst for justice alive and freeing us from complacency. It teaches us to pray and act responsibly towards our neighbor. #Lent

Would you imagine what a world without wars would be like? #PrayTogether

@robbertleusink You are an idiot!

[Edwin D Familia @EdFamilia67]

@DougBillings @Pontifex You are a clown. The emphasis on “American lives” already disqualifies you as a catholic voice. All lives enjoy equal God given human dignity! Be humble and listen to the Pope!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

@BishopBarron This fool never heard of Konrad Adenauer!

[Edwin D Familia @EdFamilia67]

@BackwardsFeet @BishopBarron He is just ignoring all the social doctrine of the Church! I bet you he will not dare to speak about Dilexi Te!

[Edwin D Familia @EdFamilia67]

@BishopBarron Oh boy! I’m so grateful to Pope Leo from keeping this guy away from NY! This clown is definitely not taken it very well! Here displaying profound willful ignorance about catholic social doctrine! Read Dilexi Te!

[Edwin D Familia @EdFamilia67]

@BishopBarron Now put on the big boy pants and condemn his idiotic attacks on the medical advances accomplished by the medical community, specially when it comes to vaccines! We will be waiting for the moment you start telling felon Trump and his idiots the inconvenient truths!

[Edwin D Familia @EdFamilia67]

@NY_Arch We dodged a bullet! Thanks God we didn’t get Barron!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress, which does not take everyone into account.

Special Pastoral Message on Immigration by the Bishops of the United States

As pastors, we the bishops of the United States are bound to our people by ties of communion and compassion in Our Lord Jesus Christ. We are disturbed when we see among our people a climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement. We are saddened by the state of contemporary debate and the vilification of immigrants. We are concerned about the conditions in detention centers and the lack of access to pastoral care. We lament that some immigrants in the United States have arbitrarily lost their legal status. We are troubled by threats against the sanctity of houses of worship and the special nature of hospitals and schools. We are grieved when we meet parents who fear being detained when taking their children to school and when we try to console family members who have already been separated from their loved ones.

Despite obstacles and prejudices, generations of immigrants have made enormous contributions to the well-being of our nation. We as Catholic bishops love our country and pray for its peace and prosperity. For this very reason, we feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity.

Catholic teaching exhorts nations to recognize the fundamental dignity of all persons, including immigrants. We bishops advocate for a meaningful reform of our nation’s immigration laws and procedures. Human dignity and national security are not in conflict. Both are possible if people of good will work together.

We recognize that nations have a responsibility to regulate their borders and establish a just and orderly immigration system for the sake of the common good. Without such processes, immigrants face the risk of trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Safe and legal pathways serve as an antidote to such risks.

The Church’s teaching rests on the foundational concern for the human person, as created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27). As pastors, we look to Sacred Scripture and the example of the Lord Himself, where we find the wisdom of God’s compassion. The priority of the Lord, as the Prophets remind us, is for those who are most vulnerable: the widow, the orphan, the poor, and the stranger (Zechariah 7:10). In the Lord Jesus, we see the One who became poor for our sake (2 Corinthians 8:9), we see the Good Samaritan who lifts us from the dust (Luke 10:30–37), and we see the One who is found in the least of these (Matthew 25). The Church’s concern for neighbor and our concern here for immigrants is a response to the Lord’s command to love as He has loved us (John 13:34).

To our immigrant brothers and sisters, we stand with you in your suffering, since, when one member suffers, all suffer (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:26). You are not alone!

We note with gratitude that so many of our clergy, consecrated religious, and lay faithful already accompany and assist immigrants in meeting their basic human needs. We urge all people of good will to continue and expand such efforts.

We oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people. We pray for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence, whether directed at immigrants or at law enforcement. We pray that the Lord may guide the leaders of our nation, and we are grateful for past and present opportunities to dialogue with public and elected officials. In this dialogue, we will continue to advocate for meaningful immigration reform.

As disciples of the Lord, we remain men and women of hope, and hope does not disappoint! (cf. Romans 5:5)

May the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe enfold us all in her maternal and loving care and draw us ever closer to the heart of Christ.
