Baltimore, Maryland, 11. November 2025 \/ 17:46 Uhr (CNA).<\/p>\n

Die US-amerikanische Bischofskonferenz (USCCB) startet eine Initiative namens \u201eYou Are Not Alone\u201c (Du bist nicht allein), um Migranten, denen die Abschiebung droht, verst\u00e4rkt zu begleiten.<\/p>\n

Bischof Mark Seitz, Vorsitzender des USCCB-Ausschusses f\u00fcr Migration, k\u00fcndigte die landesweite Initiative w\u00e4hrend der Herbstvollversammlung der Konferenz am 11. November in Baltimore an.<\/p>\n

Die Initiative, die von \u00e4hnlichen Bem\u00fchungen in katholischen Di\u00f6zesen im ganzen Land inspiriert wurde, konzentriert sich auf vier Schl\u00fcsselbereiche: Notfall- und Familienhilfe, Begleitung und Seelsorge, Vermittlung der kirchlichen Lehre sowie Solidarit\u00e4t durch Gebet und \u00f6ffentliches Zeugnis. <\/p>\n

Seitz sagte, die katholische Kirche \u201ebegleite Neuank\u00f6mmlinge in diesem Land schon seit der Zeit vor der Gr\u00fcndung unseres Landes\u201c. Er f\u00fcgte hinzu, dass die Kirche \u2013 zus\u00e4tzlich zu den geistigen und leiblichen Werken der Barmherzigkeit \u2013 \u201eunser langj\u00e4hriges Eintreten f\u00fcr eine gerechte und sinnvolle Reform unseres Einwanderungssystems nicht aufgeben darf\u201c.<\/p>\n

Er betonte, dass der Klerus weiterhin \u201edie gottgegebene W\u00fcrde jedes Menschen von der Empf\u00e4ngnis an \u00fcber jede Lebensphase bis zum nat\u00fcrlichen Tod verk\u00fcnden\u201c werde, was auch die W\u00fcrde derjenigen einschlie\u00dfe, die in die Vereinigten Staaten eingewandert sind. <\/p>\n

Der Bischof erkl\u00e4rte, dass viele Di\u00f6zesen bereits Initiativen zur Begleitung von Migranten gestartet h\u00e4tten.<\/p>\n

For example, die Di\u00f6zese San Diego startete<\/a> ihre Initiative \u201eFaithful Accompaniment in Trust & Hope\u201c (FAITH) am 4. August. Die Di\u00f6zese arbeitet mit interreligi\u00f6sen Partnern zusammen, um Migranten w\u00e4hrend Gerichtsverfahren und w\u00e4hrend des gesamten juristischen Prozesses geistlich zu begleiten.<\/p>\n

Seitz bekr\u00e4ftigt Ablehnung von \u201eMassenabschiebungen\u201c<\/h2>\n

In seiner Ansprache an seine Mitbr\u00fcder im Bischofsamt kritisierte Seitz die Regierung von Pr\u00e4sident Donald Trump f\u00fcr die Umsetzung ihres \u201eWahlkampfversprechens von Massenabschiebungen\u201c, was seiner Meinung nach \u201edie Einwanderer in unserer Mitte einsch\u00fcchtert und entmenschlicht, unabh\u00e4ngig davon, wie sie dorthin gekommen sind\u201c.<\/p>\n

Er sagte, die Begleitungsinitiative sei ins Leben gerufen worden, weil Trumps Einwanderungspolitik \u201eeine Situation geschaffen habe, wie wir sie bisher noch nicht erlebt haben\u201c. Er verwies insbesondere auf die Bem\u00fchungen, den Status des vor\u00fcbergehenden Schutzstatus (Temporary Protected Status) f\u00fcr Migranten aus mehreren L\u00e4ndern, darunter Venezuela und Nicaragua, zu widerrufen, sowie auf Beschr\u00e4nkungen f\u00fcr bestimmte Visa.<\/p>\n

\u201eDiejenigen, die keinen legalen Status haben, sind bei weitem nicht die einzigen, die von diesem Ansatz betroffen sind\u201c, sagte Seitz.<\/p>\n

Er sagte, die meisten Abgeschobenen \u201eh\u00e4tten keine Vorstrafen\u201c, und die Regierung habe die Einwanderungsbeh\u00f6rden unter Druck gesetzt, \u201edie Zahl der Verhaftungen zu erh\u00f6hen\u201c.<\/p>\n

\u201eUnsere eingewanderten Br\u00fcder und Schwestern \u2026 leben in einem tiefen Zustand der Angst\u201c, sagte Seitz. \u201eViele haben zu gro\u00dfe Angst, zu arbeiten, ihre Kinder zur Schule zu schicken oder die Sakramente zu empfangen.\u201c<\/p>\n

Seitz merkte fr\u00fcher am Tag an, dass Bisch\u00f6fe<\/a> in erster Linie Seelsorger seien, und \u201eweil wir Seelsorger sind \u2026 k\u00fcmmern wir uns um unsere Menschen, und wir k\u00fcmmern uns besonders um diejenigen, die am verletzlichsten sind und die am meisten Hilfe ben\u00f6tigen\u201c.<\/p>\n

Papst Leo XIV. hat die amerikanischen Bisch\u00f6fe ermutigt, sich f\u00fcr die W\u00fcrde der Migranten einzusetzen. Im Oktober traf sich der Papst mit amerikanischen Bisch\u00f6fen, darunter Seitz, und anderen Unterst\u00fctzern von Migranten. <\/p>\n

Laut einer anwesenden Person, Dylan Corbett, dem Gr\u00fcndungsdirektor des Hope Border Institute, Leo sagte der Gruppe<\/a>: \u201eDie Kirche kann angesichts von Ungerechtigkeit nicht schweigen. Ihr steht an meiner Seite, und ich stehe an eurer Seite.\u201c<\/p>\n
