But while it sounds theologically informed, it actually misunderstands how the Church has always understood her own teaching authority. In this video, Pedro Gabriel looks at: –...
In the search for a solution to the problem of migration in general and illegal migrants in particular, the attitude of the host society has an important role to play. In this perspective, it is very important that public opinion be properly informed about the true situation in the migrants’ country of origin,...
