Edward Hadas: Migration & Poverty

Thinking in a Catholic Way About Migration and Poverty

The Social Teaching of the Catholic Church can help everyone, including non-believers, to think clearly about controversial social and political issues.

Migration balances the natural and supernatural value of human dignity against the human need for coherent communities and the reality of social feelings.

The obligation to help the poor is timeless, but globalisation, the modern economy and big governments have changed the practical nature of that responsibility.
