They Kept the Barbarians Out, Didn't They?
The new archbishop of Tijuana, Mexico, visited the US-Mexican border
on August 11, leaned on the border fence, and said, “We need to build
bridges, and tear down walls.”
Archbishop Francisco Moreno Barrón also said that he hoped that US presidential candidate Donald Trump “will always have people near him who will help him make a profound reflection that would allow him to re-orient his convictions ... for the benefit of the entire human community beyond the interests of one single country,” the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Father Patrick Murphy, who operates a shelter on the border, said that the archbishop has “worked in Michoacan, where a lot of deportees are from, and where a lot of people are coming from to ask for political asylum. He knows the reality.”
Pope Francis was unavailable for comment.
