Pope Leo XIV has publicly expressed his endorsement of a landmark “Special Message” on immigration issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
Speaking outside his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo on 18 November, the Pope urged Catholics of good will to heed its call for humane treatment and respect for the dignity of every person.
His Holiness said, “I appreciate very much what the bishops have said. I think it is a very important statement. I would invite especially all Catholics, but people of good will, to listen carefully to what they said.”
