A conflict between the US bishops’ conference and the Trump administration over immigration caught the media’s attention earlier this week but such tensions aren’t isolated to the Church in the United States or Trump policies or even the current political moment. EWTN News contributor Alberto Fernandez gives us a broader, more global perspective on the Catholic Church and issues of migration. And on a policy issue, where the US bishops and the current White House agree, President Trump expanded school choice. That decision came during Catholic Schools Week. We take a look with Register columnist Susanna Spencer at how to preserve the biggest blessings of Catholic education.

In a social media post, the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops wrote that as the cathedral reopens its doors, “local churches in the U.S. are invited to peal their bells in a gesture of unity.”

These bishops, who have spoken out recently, are joined by their brother bishops representing all 10 states where abortion is on the ballot have weighed in and who have urged voters to oppose these measures.

Marking Religious Freedom Week, which begins June 22, the feast day of St. Thomas More and John Fisher, the bishops invited Catholics to reflect on a particular topic related to religious freedom for each day of the week.
