Diocesan Bishop Reacts to Pope’s Border Comments

Bishop Brungardt1

Dodge City, KS (westernkansasnews.com) The crisis at the southern border continues with thousands of kids crossing, most of them without their parents and even some with highly contagious diseases.  Pope Francis I says the US must “welcome and protect these children”.  For Bishop John Brungardt of Dodge City the moral issue is not so cut and dry.

 

With the US closing in on 18 trillion dollars in debt that has sparked another question.

Officials believe the trip could be far more dangerous if the children were forced to return.
