Pope says migrants’ rights should override national security concerns
That doesn’t even make sense! To ignore ‘national security’ is an oxymoron.
National Security is regarded as a duty of government.
Catholic Catechism: 1899 The authority required by the moral order derives from God: “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.
