Archbishop Sample: "Migrants are used in a political game between two extremes."

Addressing one of the most contentious issues of our time, Archbishop Sample explains what the Catholic Church actually teaches about immigration.

Joined by Ryan Lovett, Evangelization Strategist for the Archdiocese of Portland, the Archbishop reflects on his pastoral experience with immigrant families, workers, and local communities, exploring both the inherent dignity of every human person and the legitimate right of nations to regulate their borders.

Drawing on the Catechism, he also explains the responsibilities of both nations to welcome those in genuine need, within their capacity, and of immigrants to respect the laws and heritage of the countries that receive them.

He challenges Christians to move beyond political polarization and allow the Gospel, not partisan ideology, to form their consciences.
