The bishops of England and Wales have published a document on the Catholic response to refugees and migrants, less than a week after the bishops’ conference’s lead on the subject criticised the government’s Illegal Migration Bill.
The 32-page document, called “Love the Stranger”, was published on 14 March and outlines a recommended response to migration, emphasising the protection of human rights.
It is co-sponsored by Bishop Declan Lang, the conference’s chair for the Department for International Affairs, and Bishop Paul McAleenan, its lead for migrants and refugees.
