Catechism of the Catholic Church "2241 ...Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants'duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens."
If you want to know what the Catholic Church teaches, your best bet is to go to the Catechism, which happens to be searchable online:

On immigration:

If you're going to write to your Bishop, maybe this is the part you should emphasize. (Go ahead, introduce your Bishop to Catholic doctrine...it'll do him good...)

Yes, it is the Bishops that need to follow the Church's teachings.

I LIKE it!! I am ashamed to admit that I did not know of this particular Church law. I should have a button made which simply says "2241" and wear it to Mass!! LOL!!

Thank you Mrs. Don-O!
I knew someone hear could express it more clearly (and accurately) that I could.

In my state it would be a shock to the Bishop to hear anything about catechism.
The Catholic college regularly invites the likes of McGreevy and Hilary Clinton to be guest speakers.

I thank you for posting that excerpt from the catechism. I WILL quote that to Mahoney-Baloney tomorrow when I fax him.

Careful there, don't you know that YOU are not the Pope. Only He gets to say what is and isn't truly Catholic.
