Catholic Social Teaching on Migration
Drawn
from a rich scriptural tradition, Catholic theology has always promoted human
rights rooted in natural law and God’s revelation. In 1892, the encyclical Rerum Novarum commented on the situation
of immigrants; in later documents, popes and bishops have synthesized the
Catholic theological tradition to articulate three basic principles of
migration:
1.People have the right to migrate to sustain their lives and
the lives of their families.
2.A country has the right to regulate its borders to control
migration.
3.A country must regulate its borders with justice and mercy.
Although
the first two of these principles may seem to contradict each other, they are
put in context by the third. Catholic social teaching emphasizes the absolute
equality of all people and the commitment to the common good. People of faith
must seek a way of balancing their valid security needs with meeting the basic
human needs of others in the confidence of God’s love of and care for all of
His people. It is in achieving this balance that we can embrace each of the
principles of Catholic social teaching on migration.
