In particular, what they call inhumane treatment of migrant workers
“At the root of all of our respective faith traditions is concern for the alien and the stranger among us,” said Bishop Matthew Clark of the Catholic Diocese of Rochester. “I really do believe that's true of our own nation and its founding principles and if we don't care for the outside or the alien than we're not being what our own foundational documents want us to be.”
Monday night’s service was one of a hundred nationwide.
