Caggiano<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As our nation continues to grapple with the practice of separating children from their families at the border, we must distinguish our political feelings on this issue from the actual teachings of the Lord Jesus, who is the fullness of Truth Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As a son of immigrants, the thought of separating children from their parents as an instrument of immigration policy is personally very troubling to me. It is also inconsistent with our moral values and with Catholic Social Teaching. The Lord Jesus could not have been more explicit about welcoming the stranger and protecting the dignity of all human persons.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36059\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 400px;\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36059 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/capp-usa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Bishop-Frank-Caggiano.jpg\" alt=\"Bishop Frank J.

Caggiano reminds us what is Truth and that we cannot pick and choose<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It appears that, at least among some Catholics, our disagreement regarding this issue lies in the application of the teachings of our faith to complex social and political situations. For most Catholics, the Church\u2019s social teachings are not being questioned, but rather, the application of those teachings. In response to that point, I would emphasize that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has consistently advocated for bi-partisan immigration reform that is both lawful and compassionate. Let us pray that our leaders enact that reform soon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, I must remind you and me that we are all called to maintain, defend and advocate for the fullness of the Truth, despite the complexity of the issue or the personal cost to do so. Jesus said \u201cI am the way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.\u201d He did not say \u201cI am the Truth and feel free to choose what you like of the teachings I have taught to you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #eb7425;\">We are all called to maintain, defend and advocate for the fullness of the Truth, despite the complexity of the issue or the personal cost to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As Catholics, we must courageously bear witness to the fullness of the Truth that Jesus taught us. We are called to be courageously and unapologetically pro-life, from conception to natural death. That involves being advocates for the unborn, and speaking out against the injustices of abortion, euthanasia, poverty, and the death penalty. Such a consistent pro-life ethic also applies here. We cannot be silent when children are being detained without a support system. We cannot let them be separated from their parents in a land where they do not speak the language, and in a venue where they are treated as though they are criminals, since the decision to come here was not theirs to make.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In short, we cannot pick and choose which parts of the Truth we wish to believe in or emphasize. Now more than ever, every believer must accept his or her responsibility to grow in our personal knowledge and appreciation of the fullness of the Truth, and we must accompany each other to find the most authentic ways to live the Truth faithfully and completely in our complex world.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_1 hover-btn-border et_hover_enabled et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"\/articles\" data-icon=\"5\">Back to Articles<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row_fullwidth et_pb_gutters1  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column et_pb_column_empty\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_3_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_slider et_pb_slider_0 three-principles et_pb_slider_fullwidth_off et_pb_slider_show_image\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_slide et_pb_slide_0 et_clickable  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_slide_with_image et_pb_media_alignment_center et-pb-active-slide\" data-slide-id=\"et_pb_slide_0\" data-et-multi-view=\"{&quot;schema&quot;:{&quot;classes&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:{&quot;add&quot;:[&quot;et_pb_slide_with_image&quot;],&quot;remove&quot;:[&quot;et_pb_slide_with_video&quot;]},&quot;tablet&quot;:{&quot;remove&quot;:[&quot;et_pb_slide_with_image&quot;,&quot;et_pb_slide_with_video&quot;]},&quot;phone&quot;:{&quot;add&quot;:[&quot;et_pb_slide_with_image&quot;],&quot;remove&quot;:[&quot;et_pb_slide_with_video&quot;]}},&quot;target&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;hover_selector&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;et_pb_slide&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_container clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slider_container_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slide_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/capp-usa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Three-Principles.png\" alt=\"Three circles containing symbols of the three principles of catholic social teaching: human dignity, subsidiarity, and solidarity.\" data-et-multi-view=\"{&quot;schema&quot;:{&quot;attrs&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/capp-usa.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/02\\\/Three-Principles.png&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Three circles containing symbols of the three principles of catholic social teaching: human dignity, subsidiarity, and solidarity.&quot;},&quot;tablet&quot;:{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;phone&quot;:{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/capp-usa.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/06\\\/3-Key-principle-icons-resized.png&quot;}},&quot;target&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;hover_selector&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;et_pb_slide&quot;}\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slide_description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"et_pb_slide_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/capp-usa.org\/catholic-social-teaching-principles\/\">Three Key Principles<\/a><\/h2><div class=\"et_pb_slide_content\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">Catholic social teaching is built on three foundational principles -<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Human Dignity<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Solidarity\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Subsidiarity.\u00a0<\/strong>Human Dignity, embodied in a correct understanding of the human person, is the greatest.
