This month’s Justice and Peace Edition of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men newsletter includes coverage of the American bishops’ continued stand for justice in policy, including this story about Bishop Cahill.
“Bishop Brendan Cahill of Victoria, Texas, Chairman of the USCCB Subcommittee on Pastoral Care of Migrants, recently spoke out about the current state of immigration and visa changes in the U.S. The bishop stated that Catholics ‘are called to accompany [migrant farmers] as we simultaneously advocate for reforms to our immigration system that benefit both our economy and all those who labor within it.’ Bishop Cahill emphasized that nearly half of U.S. agricultural laborers lack legal status, yet they play an essential role in feeding the nation, often under difficult and exploitative conditions.”
