A FALK IN THE WORKS

Pope Francis Plugged The One-million-kilometer “global Solidarity Walk” For Migrants And Refugees Sunday, Urging All Catholics To Participate In The Pro-immigration Event.

The walk, organized by international Catholic relief service Caritas Internationalis, involves walking “side by side with migrants and refugees” but also has an explicitly political purpose. By walking together, we “send a strong message of unity to political leaders,” organizers declare.

The pope tweeted Sunday that the pro-immigration walk was like the journey of two disciples on the road to Emmaus after Christ’s resurrection, where they were joined by Jesus as they traveled.
