Bishop Seitz’s Immigration Endorsement Forsakes Catholic Social Order
The Catholic News Agency reports that “Bishop” Mark Seitz of El Paso has endorsed HR 4393 (“Dignity Act”), legislation offering conditional legal status to certain undocumented immigrants without providing citizenship. The bill proposes labor requirements, financial penalties, expedited asylum processing (60-day limit), and border security funding. Seitz praised this bipartisan effort during his USCCB committee address, invoking “Pope” Leo XIV’s alleged emphasis on the “common good” and “God-given dignity of every person.” The article notes endorsements from Protestant groups like the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and business organizations, while omitting any reference to Catholic doctrine on the subordination of civil law to divine law.
