Florida “Bishops” Prioritize Humanitarianism Over Catholic Sovereignty Doctrine
The “Catholic News Agency” portal (December 22, 2025) reports that several Florida-based members of the United States Conference of “Catholic Bishops” have demanded President Trump and Governor DeSantis suspend immigration enforcement during Christmas. Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami declared: “Don’t be the Grinch that stole Christmas… Give people these two weeks to be with their families without fear of being arrested.” The statement co-signed by seven other “bishops” asserts that border security has been achieved and enforcement now primarily impacts non-criminal migrants, appealing to an Amnesty International report condemning Florida detention centers. This morally relativistic position substitutes Catholic doctrine with secular humanitarianism.
