Pope Francis criticized Vice President JD Vance for misinterpreting the Catholic doctrine of ordo amoris to support Trump's immigration policies. In a letter to US bishops, he emphasized the importance of treating migrants with dignity and respect, denouncing mass deportations as harmful to vulnerable individuals and families. Francis highlighted that true Christian love transcends national or familial boundaries, urging the Catholic community to reject narratives that discriminate against migrants. He advocated for compassion and protection for refugees and emphasized that the just treatment of all people, especially the marginalized, is crucial to authentic law.
The act of deporting people who in many cases have left their own land for reasons of extreme poverty, insecurity, exploitation, persecution or serious deterioration of the environment, damages the dignity of many men and women.
Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups, but rather, it's an expansive embrace that recognizes the worth of every individual.
