VATICAN CITY, FEB. 12, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Migration can be a tool to halt the spread of secularization, if the Church becomes a focal point for young immigrants and immigration becomes an opportunity for evangelization.
This was one of the conclusions from the Sixth World Congress on the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Refugees, which took place at the Vatican last November.
The theme of the conference focused on a pastoral response to the phenomenon of migration in the era of globalization, five years after the instruction “Erga Migrantes Caritas Christi.”
