Immigration is a topic we can (and will) cover on another day. The U.S. immigration system is obviously broken but the degree to which President Biden is responsible for the effects you cite is highly questionable, given these long-standing issues and his short tenure in office. Regardless, on the question of how to approach migration policy, that is an area where the USCCB and the Biden Administration are much closer in agreement. - Beau
Biden drastically altered US policy. The response by potential immigrants was clearly foreseeable. Yet, no plans were implemented to provide for those who responded to Biden’s invitation ( please see debate statements, including a promise of free health care.) Biden’s responsibility is obvious and apparent to anyone who is willing to see.
Just to demonstrate that not all my thoughts are political, I would note in response to W B Tichenor, that Lutherans also view communion as a sacrament. Being raised in that denomination, I can add that Lutherans do not view the proceeding as symbolic. I guess that takes a leap of faith… but, in a sense that is what Christianity is at its core! Glad Public Witness exists!
