U.S. Catholic bishops delivered a statement at a recent assembly condemning the US policy of separating children from their parents who are entering the country at the US border with Mexico, according to this article from CBS News. "Our government has the discretion in our laws to ensure that young children are not separated from their parents and exposed to irreparable harm and trauma. Families are the foundational element of our society and they must be able to stay together," said Msgr. J. Brian Bransfield on behalf of Cardinal Daniel DiNardo.
