BALTIMORE — The nation's Roman Catholic bishops on Monday urged
President-elect Donald Trump to adopt humane policies toward immigrants
and refugees, as church leaders begin navigating what will likely be a
complex relationship with the new administration.
Meeting just days after the election, the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops said serving people fleeing violence and
conflict "is part of our identity as Catholics" and pledged to continue
this ministry.
"We stand ready to work with a new administration to continue to ensure
that refugees are humanely welcomed without sacrificing our security or
our core values as Americans. A duty to welcome and protect newcomers,
particularly refugees, is an integral part of our mission to help our
neighbors in need," the bishops said.
