At the same time, the church does always say that countries have a right to control their borders.
I will say, and I've written this for UnHerd,
that this is an issue, this immigration issue is one in which it would be useful for the church to offer a deeper theology of migration that is fit for the 21st century when lots and lots of people are on the move.
The church, it's true, emphasizes the common good, but sometimes listening to some bishops, you would think that the common good is the
completely just the same thing as the rights of migrants.
And it doesn't quite take into account the church, I think, as much.
The right of people in recipient countries, people in the global north, especially working lower middle class people whose access to public services is strained by uncontrolled migration, whose jobs and wages are threatened by that.
Sometimes it's true when you listen to the church, it seems like that they only see it from the migrant's point of view.
And I get that.
I mean, so because it's the church that looks out for the weak and for the migrant.
And I get that.
But I think in this scenario, you also have people who are dispossessed and weak, namely working class people in recipient countries who have to be in the calculus of the common good as well.
And so that's an issue where I think there should be a kind of dialogue, I would hope, between the Trump administration and the Holy See.
But that dialogue is not advanced yet.
by posts like that, right?
I mean, the church is also a political institution.
It's a state that has a certain dignity.
And of course, the figure of the pope is seen as the successor of St.
Peter, as the person who holds the keys to the kingdom, so to speak.
And who can forgive sins on earth or bind them, you know, or who can who can bind or lose sins on earth.
