EXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> After the U.S. Catholic bishops issued a statement opposing mass deportations, a prominent American Catholic group chided some of their colleagues for sowing “confusion” about the church\u2019s official stance on law enforcement and called for a “more complete conversation on immigration<\/a>.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops<\/a> (USCCB) issued a “special pastoral message on immigration” in which the bishops said they felt “compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity.”<\/p>\n

In the message, the bishops stated unequivocally, “We oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people,” adding, “We pray for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence, whether directed at immigrants or at law enforcement.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

“We are disturbed when we see among our people a climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement. We are saddened by the state of contemporary debate and the vilification of immigrants. We are concerned about the conditions in detention centers and the lack of access to pastoral care.”<\/p>\n

They also lamented that “some immigrants in the United States<\/a> have arbitrarily lost their legal status,” and noted, “we are grieved when we meet parents who fear being detained when taking their children to school and when we try to console family members who have already been separated from their loved ones.”<\/p>\n

A day later, conservative advocacy group CatholicVote issued a report titled, “Immigration Enforcement and the Christian Conscience,” in which it said, “despite what some Church leaders in America have indicated, a faithful Catholic can support strong and humane immigration law enforcement \u2014 by means such as physical barriers, detention and deportation \u2014 without violating the teaching of the Church.”<\/p>\n

While the U.S. bishops\u2019 statement invokes the scripture verse “whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me,” in reference to the plight of migrants, CatholicVote\u2019s report states that the “implications of this passage apply to all people \u2014 including those left poor, forgotten, unemployed and the victims of crime.”<\/p>\n

The report posits that while “weak borders and lenient law enforcement are often presented as \u2018humane\u2019 and \u2018compassionate\u2019 policies demanded by Christian love,” such policies “frequently have a terrible human toll \u2014 such as when they enrich and empower the criminal cartels, clearly harming both Americans and foreigners in the process.”<\/p>\n

It also makes the case for deportations even in instances that lead to the separation of families, saying, “In this regard, there is no essential difference between a prison sentence for other offenses and the deportation of illegal immigrants.”<\/p>\n

“If legitimate law enforcement is disruptive to family life, the responsibility lies with those family members who broke the law,” the report states.<\/p>\n

The report laments that “Catholics who advocate strong but humane immigration enforcement are sometimes accused of disobeying their bishops or the pope, and even violating Church teaching.” It also says that “statements from individual Church leaders in America and abroad have also added to the confusion, particularly when they draw a moral equivalency between President Trump<\/a>‘s immigration policy and, for example, the Democratic Party\u2019s pro-abortion platform.”<\/p>\n

Despite this, the report posits that “properly speaking, there is no such thing as an official <\/i>\u2018Catholic position\u2019 on the practical details of immigration policy.” Instead, it frames individual Catholics\u2019 stances on immigration enforcement as “a matter of prudential political judgment,” which it says is “an area of responsibility that belongs properly to Catholic laypersons rather than the bishops.”<\/p>\n

CatholicVote President Kelsey Reinhardt told Fox News Digital that the group “wants to foster a more complete conversation on immigration and give moral standing and freedom of conscience for Catholics and Christians who recognize a need to secure the border and the importance of the rule of law.”<\/p>\n

Reinhardt said that “pastoral accompaniment on the part of the bishops and faithful Christians, however necessary, does not exhaust the Church\u2019s moral vocabulary.”<\/p>\n

“The responsibility to regulate borders for the sake of the common good is not a caveat tacked onto an otherwise humanitarian manifesto; it is an integral part of Catholic doctrine,” said Reinhardt, adding, “This is not a secondary or peripheral concern. As we argue, it is precisely the collapse of lawful order \u2014 not merely private prejudice \u2014 that has created the conditions in which exploitation flourishes, cartels thrive, and millions of migrants are pushed into a shadow-world without legal recourse or clear prospects.”<\/p>\n

“The point, put bluntly, is this: a nation cannot honor the dignity of immigrants if it has effectively abandoned the rule of law under which immigrants might be protected,” she said.<\/p>\n

CatholicVote made headlines in 2024 for issuing its first political endorsement for President Donald Trump. The group\u2019s founder, Brian Burch<\/a>, currently serves as the Trump administration\u2019s ambassador to the Vatican.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the USCCB for comment but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
