Here’s the first sentence of the first article in a long succession

You got the first sentence, but perhaps missed the second paragraph:

"The letter is not intended to be political, García-Siller said, but is meant to remind immigrants, including those here illegally, that the church is available to them. The church continues to offer them services such as counseling and providing food to the needy, he said, adding that it has nothing to do with offering sanctuary.'"

Via my work with RCIA, I had the opportunity to help a non-Latino American woman, who was entering the church, get help for her El Salvadorean husband who opposed the gangs and was being threatened by death from narcotraficantes (in El Salvador.)

They're both now safely Catholic and AMerican, and have a small farm and are making a living selling goat's milk products in Tennessee.

The goats are eating kudzu.

It's a win-win.
