National Migration Week
January 4-10, 2004

Dear Friends in Christ,

This year National Migration Week draws its theme, Together on the Journey, from the recent pastoral letter issued jointly by the Catholic Bishops of Mexico and the United States. While that letter, Strangers No Longer: Together on the Journey of Hope specifically addresses the circumstances of migration within the American continent, its underlying reflections on scripture and the principals of Catholic social teaching have direct relevancy to the global issues of border security, refugee resettlement, and economic migration which impact each of us.

The needs of migrants and refugees throughout the world are great and growing. The 2003 World Refugee Report documented over 13 million refugees throughout the world, most surviving in desperate circumstances. Sadly, many fail to survive at all. Yet in the face of this profound human suffering the United States resettled barely 27,000. This is the lowest level of U.S. refugee resettlement in over 20 years! Clearly, we have a long road to travel.

With the growing and justified anxiety about our national security there may be many of us who would prefer not to undertake this journey at all. That, however, is not an option. Boundaries which once seemed impermeable now are quite porous, thanks to innovations such as intercontinental travel, global telecommunications, and the internet. We struggle with fear from the specter of terrorist threats, diseases such as SARS and monkey-pox, and with the changing face of our own communities. It is tempting in such a situation to retreat into the mindset of "fortress America". As recent events demonstrate, however, the United States cannot isolate itself from the community of nations. Whether we like it or not we all must negotiate this changing landscape of the world in which we live.

We encourage you to use the materials enclosed in this National Migration Week packet, the additional resources provided on the NMW website, and particularly, the two pastoral letters, Unity in Diversity and Strangers No More as road maps to guide you and your parish on this exploration of faith. While National Migration Week is observed this year on January 4 - 10, 2004, we hope you will use this as the initiation of a continuing process of study, celebration, pastoral outreach and advocacy.

As we look back a year from now, let us pray that Christ will truly have cause to say to us: "I was a stranger and you welcomed me."

Yours in Christ,

Most Rev. Thomas G. Wenski
Coadjutor Bishop of Orlando
Chairman, USCCB Committee on Migration

Is this sort of multicult mud-drive a relatively new thing in the Kwatholic Church?

Anybody know? Just curious. :confused:

post Vat 2. or even later; mostly since the "liberation theologists" of central america (marxist mestizo priests) dragged the formerly Spanish-traditionalist curia of Latin and South America into an uneasy alliance with the campesinos ie peasants.

The Jewboys in the USA and their faggot infilts pushed this sort of thing at universities and thus many Catholics were contaminated with this bullshit. Today it has reached epidemic levels and even Catholics who ought to know better are scraping at the muddy feet of the massive numbers of mojadoes.

The mexican invasion is a secular problem and we are going to solve it with secular measures and no churchmen will stand in the way. The Catholic church ought to want to keep em in Mexico anyhow because when they come up here, they either dump Catholicism for "lowrider" culture or they become Pentecostals (Iglesia de Lengua-Habla) LOL

Thanks. I was guessing it was fairly recent (post Vatican II).

to be fair it does reflect in some ways the church getting behind the irishmen and catholic germans against the natives in the 19th century.

It used to be an issue whether Germans and others in America should have their own Catholic churches with services in their own languages. They called them 'national' churces. My church was a 'Portuguese' church, although by the sixties it was surrounded by white suburbia and taken over by them, the Portuguese families still had clout.

[size=1]In the 40+ years since then America has gone from being a mostly white country, that actually was damn nice to live in, into a MULTI-CULT HELL ![/size]

[size=1]...And the Voting Block of 230 million +/- Catholics/Christians are the main reason that the "elected officals" are letting MILLIONS MORE MUDS in EACH YEAR.[/size]

[size=1]Another 40 years and the white race will be gasping its last breath in a cess pool of its own making![/size]

I don't recall anyone ever getting to vote on multicult, except with their feet when they move to a whiter neighborhood.
