Georgetown Panel Promotes Humanitarianism Over Catholic Social Teaching
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 5, 2025) reports on a Georgetown University panel discussion titled “Making Life Unbearable: The Impacts of Immigration Enforcement on Families and Communities.” Speakers from organizations like Iskali and Ayuda presented emotional narratives about Latino communities experiencing fear due to mass deportations, while decrying enforcement actions near “protected spaces” like churches. The article omits any substantive engagement with Catholic social teaching on the duties of states and individuals, instead framing immigration enforcement as inherently unjust. This one-sided advocacy exemplifies how post-conciliar structures substitute sentimentalism for doctrinal truth.
