Government officials are facing scrutiny over potential infringements on religious freedom as they consider restrictions on the Catholic Church's work serving migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border. Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, emphasized the importance of upholding religious liberty during a recent meeting in Louisville, Kentucky.
Recent actions targeting faith-based border work, such as attempts to shut down a Catholic nonprofit by the Texas attorney general, have raised concerns among church leaders. Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, expressed worries about the potential limitations on their ability to provide assistance to migrants.
