For a 2/5 spouter: I don’t think Pope Francis is trying to tell non-Catholics what to think about immigration. His comments are for *anyone* willing to listen and are based on Jesus’ teaching. For example, Matthew 25:35 - “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Other religious leaders have similar views. Consider Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s suggestions to President Trump at the inaugural prayer service. … True, God doesn’t need money. But the poor need help. You ask how Catholic Charities uses the donations it gets. They have a center in Rio Grande. Their website lists everything they do.
