Catholic Church

By Matt Hadro, CNA - Catholic refugee advocates on Tuesday praised President Joe Biden for pushing to raise the refugee cap in the coming fiscal year, and urged even more refugee admissions... On Monday, President Biden recommended that the United States double its limit on refugee resettlement in the coming fiscal year, to 125,000 refugees from 62,500. The U.S. bishops’ conference has also pushed for an increase in the refugee cap to 125,000.

By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing - I thought about how all this iconoclasm had taken place in the space of just a few years. Catholic congregations complained bitterly, begged, and pleaded, “Please don’t destroy my church,” but to no avail. Everything had to go... In some cases, it wasn’t enough that an old stone altar was pulled out. Orders were given that the workers should literally smash it to pieces, lest the scorned and detested item ever return. Congregations wept and pleaded, but they were told, “Things are different now. You have to learn to embrace the new.”
