Father Leo discusses the migration crisis involving Morocco and Spain’s Ceuta enclave and examines whether the events should be understood as immigration, intimidation, or an invasion. He offers a Catholic perspective on immigration through the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, including the common good, citizenship, assimilation, and treatment of foreigners. The episode also examines Pope Francis’ principles of welcoming, protecting, promoting, and integrating migrants while stressing responsibilities for both immigrants and host nations. Father Leo distinguishes between different motivations among those crossing borders and argues that legal status, integration, cultural ties, and virtue deserve serious consideration in immigration policy. He also reflects on Spain’s Catholic identity, declining religious practice, demographics, and the importance of passing the faith to future generations. The episode concludes with practical Catholic principles for approaching immigration, national borders, cultural integration, and the common good.
