Bishops across U.S. condemn separation, detention of children

Rhina Guidos - Catholic News Service

Catholic bishops across the United States have spoken out against the US policy of family separation and detention of children at the border with Mexico, according to this post from Catholic News Service. Most prominent among the voices of bishops are those with dioceses on or near the border between the U.S. and Mexico. "Refugee children belong to their parents, not to the government or other institution. To steal children from their parents is a grave sin, immoral (and) evil," said San Antonio's Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller.
