Justicia más allá de las fronteras: una ética cristiana para la migración actual

The Catholic moral tradition’s relational elements expose how approaching displacement primarily as a matter of “crisis management,” as we see have seen through increasingly brutal US practices, neglects transnational political and economic forces. The Christian insistence that we humans fundamentally belong to one another—that we survive and thrive only through encounter with others—can serve as an antidote to the indifference and individualism that harm persons on the move. Relational elements of Christian ethics—social anthropology, the universal destination of created goods, social sin, structural justice—illuminate the complex causes of displacement and the responsibilities that transit and receiving communities bear.
