With regard to immigration, the Catholic Catechism places the responsibility on immigrants to obey and respect the laws and culture of the host nation. Whatever Bergolio says on the matter is quite a bit less relevant.

Your statement is of course true in and of itself, but it’s also quite beside the point since the vast majority of today’s Catholics know very little of the Catechism. In fact, like most of the hierarchy from the Pontiff down to the parish priests, they are primarily influenced by the secular culture, NOT by the Catechism. And for that discouraging state of affairs you can thank the liberals who controlled the outcome of the debacle known as the Second Vatican Council.
