Catholic Bishops: Catholic Schools and Muslim-Majority Nations

catholic bishops: In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, DiNardo, the archbishop for Galveston-Houston and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, expressed concerns about Trump's now court-stalled executive order blocking immigration from six Muslim-majority nations and about the effects the Trump administration's immigration policies could have on families, according to Brandon Sun. We have kids in our Catholic schools that are crying during the day, DiNardo said. When it comes to refugees and immigration, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo says he and Trump will have to agree to disagree. They're not sure whether their mommy or daddy is going to be home at night when they get back from school. ... There's no reason why that has to happen. The White House had no comment Wednesday on prospects for a meeting, although such a session would continue a common practice for the head of the bishops' conference to confer with the U.S. president. DiNardo in 2007 became the first Catholic cardinal in the Southern United States, an area where Catholicism has flourished as more people have moved there, from both inside and outside the U.S. In his first extended interview since his more than 400 fellow bishops in November elected him to a three-year term as president of the U.S. bishops' conference, DiNardo said the conference has had quiet initial talks with the White House to arrange a session between him and Trump.
