Context
In Philadelphia, United States, Pope Leo XIV accepted the Liberty Medal at the National Constitution Center and urged the country to welcome immigrants. The appeal involves immigrants, U.S. communities, policymakers, and religious groups while invoking religious freedom and interfaith cooperation as parts of the public good.
Giving the message policy influence could support a more welcoming approach, while keeping immigration decisions government-led would limit the role of religious authority in national policy.
