Undocumented Immigration, Catholic Teaching Discussion April 13

A discussion on undocumented immigration and Catholic teaching will take place on Monday, April 13, from 6 - 7:15 p.m. in Brennan Hall 228 (Pearn Auditorium).

Dr. Terence Sweeney, a professor in the Honors Program at Villanova University,will discuss the right to migrate and the obligation to welcome migrants in terms of traditional Catholic principles of natural law and the universal destination of goods.

These principles challenge some current views among Americans about undocumented immigrants, providing a theological foundation for recognizing moral obligations toward them.
