The Pope And The United States

The collection “Coming to America” is comprised of journal entries, biographies, and autobiographies that discuss the social and political transformations that arose from immigration. “Of Plymouth Plantation”, “Balboa”, and “‘Blaxicans’ and Other Reinvented Americans” illustrate how immigrants shape America’s direction. The changes that occurred when settlers migrated seriously impacted the nation they were travelling to. The first of these changes pertains to culture. Immigrants brought their religions and languages to their host country, and that caused a great deal of acculturation, usually to the new religion or language. Government is another principle that was implemented into the “inner workings” of the new country. Lastly, the newcomers

The Pope’s role in the church and the Vatican have not changed in a significant manner other than that his power has declined. The Vatican was built during the 4th century and then rebuilt again during the 16th century. The Vatican is the world’s second largest religious building and is above the tomb of St. Peter. Vatican city is the world’s smallest fully independent state. The name of the government in Vatican city is Holy See. The city itself is responsible for the safety of the Pope since 1506. All supplies go through a screening process and must be imported in. The Pope had absolute executive, judicial and legislative power. There is no way to pinpoint exactly when the Pope's power began to decline, but it was around the time when the

The debate over illegal immigration has been a constant and ongoing struggle in the United States. Millions of illegal immigrants are living among us in the country, we have more entering daily. Recently, President Barack Obama touched on the topic with his immigration executive order. Unfortunately, with the republican takeover of the white house, many of his actions are not being supported. This is viable evidence that there are people who want to help fix the immigration system in a way that will benefit illegal immigrants and give them a fighting chance to prosper here in the United States. With that being said, there are also powers who do not want to see that happen because they believe that it is not in the best interest of the United States to open their borders to illegals. This puts to question what the next steps for the United States will decide and how that will affect Americans across the country. My goal of this essay is to enlighten the moral concerns in the debates pertaining to immigration.

strongly presents the case that although there are no direct teachings on immigration in the New Testament, Christians can learn how to treat immigrants. Jesus’s attitudes and actions help to show Christians how to treat outsiders, like immigrants. Just as Jesus transcended cultural differences and accepted Samaritans, Christians should accept immigrants. Today it is clear that Christians should embrace the ideals of the New Testament, rather than Romans 13, because it allows them to follow biblical teachings. Therefore, I believe it is important for Christians to help immigrants by embracing the New Testament ideals seen through Jesus’s own actions and

Immigrants have always been a part of the United States and played a major role in building the foundation for the life in America, therefore, legal immigrants, should always be welcome granted that they come with good intentions. "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is a saying that has been associated with the country of The United States of America since its founding. That saying has infused immigrants with the idea that upon reaching this holy land, their lives will drastically change for the better. With that dream in mind, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, flock to this country to become part of its evolving culture.

Since the dawn of American colonization in the early 1600s, the notion of immigrating to America has long been instilled upon various people as a stimulating opportunity to begin a fresh chapter in their lives. Even now, this possibility has brought many variations of people to America, culminating a society that brims with dreams and aspirations to form the diversified nation of today. When speaking of the current state of immigration, it is easy to conclude that immigration is heavily discussed from political standpoints. Though this current condition is composed of highly controversial perspectives, many of the early-century viewpoints found in literature genuinely embrace reality, for these writers were indeed immigrants themselves, thus adding an authoritative standpoint over immigration. The Americanization of Edward Bok (1921) by Edward Bok and The America I Believe In by Colin Powell, display the perspectives of two authors, who have lived as immigrants, through their own personal anecdotes. Both Edward Bok and Colin Powell convey a sincerely grateful tone and develop the idea of Americanization and the quest for opportunity through the use of connotative diction in contrast to the Immigration Chart and Political Cartoon which have a downright concrete and pessimistic tone and supports the idea that immigration exposes various challenges to incoming immigrants.

Immigration has existed around the world for centuries, decades, and included hundreds of cultures. Tired of poverty, a lack of opportunities, unequal treatment, political corruption, and lacking any choice, many decided to emigrate from their country of birth to seek new opportunities and a new and better life in another country, to settle a future for their families, to work hard and earn a place in life. As the nation of the opportunities, land of the dreams, and because of its foundation of a better, more equal world for all, the United States of America has been a point of hope for many of those people. A lot of nationals around the world have ended their research for a place to call home in the United States of America. By analyzing

Rulers opposed papal power because the canon laws that restricted things the rulers were allowed to do with churches within their kingdom. They would have to get approval from the pope before they did certain things. This forced them to have to make compromises where secular and religious claims coincide.

Dionny Diaz, 28, a day laborer and undocumented immigrant expressed his overwhelming concern over mass deportations and the town’s involvement. “My friend was arrested by ICE 3 weeks ago. He had no criminal record, just one DUI,” he said. “I prefer to believe in the sanctuary churches than city officials.” Faith leaders in the community have gathered to show support to the hundreds of undocumented immigrants in the midst of uncertainty. Faith groups across Morristown, N.J., have vowed to shield undocumented immigrants from President Trump’s immigration orders; and thus, church communities are offering their sanctuaries as safe havens. Charles Perez, 58, the reverend associate pastor of the Morristown United Methodist Church, and other faith leaders are offering their support to the undocumented immigrants in Morristown and neighboring cities in Morris County. “I’m a Hispanic and it breaks my heart to see my people walking in fear,” Perez said. “Because of the current state of our country, faith leaders are preparing to provide sanctuary if it’s necessary to keep families together.” he concluded.

Immigration is a topic that has been in the news often due to the most recent Presidential election. However, the idea of immigration is one that has existed since the Old Testament with stories of refugees fleeing from oppression. Immigration is an ideal that has remained a topic of discussion for years due to the positives and negatives of it. While immigration may have some negatives, it is my view that immigration is a necessity for the United States because of its roots in Catholic social teaching, effects on economy, and the need for basic rights of individuals to obtain a better life.

“I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind to whatever nation they might belong” this quote is by George Washington, but A Country is for all is another quote by Jorge Ramos. Everyone of any culture should be aloud in every country they want. There shouldn't be a law that doesn't let people out of a country to find a great new start for them. In this essay we will be talking about immigrants in the late days, border crossing, and families being separated.

In terms of the presentation, the author’s tone is very pessimistic, negative and extreme. It could be seen that the author is very opposed to the immigration to America. He also fears the immigration will destroy American culture. He even uses some words, which could obviously express his emotions, such as negative, threat, fear, defenseless, tragic error, abandon the temporary idea. (Auster, 2002) The overall essay gives reader a sense of skepticism and. Though the claim of the essay is very extreme, and the evidence is not very supportive, the overall text is relatively well organized, because it has a clear

Many people do not accept immigrants who are new to an unknown land but have come for better lives and brighter futures. The Church supports immigrants and encourages political powers to house immigrants. “The Catholic Church in the United States is an immigrant Church with a long history of embracing diverse newcomers and providing assistance

Matthew Soerens as a young child did not realize how important the immigrants were around him and how they were significant for his career now. He never realized the impact they had on society and the amount of Christian faith they bring into a community, and then I realized I also did not know the significance they had for our community and faith.

Pope Francis is viewed as a spiritual father figure to Catholics around the world. He is even addressed as “Most Holy Father.” Throughout the entire speech, the Pope speaks from this place of fatherliness. While he is a political figure and head of the state of the Vatican, he is a man of God first. As a result of these things, His Holiness relies rather heavily on his ethos and pathos during this speech. There are many instances of ethos, or a good man speaking well, during this response to the welcome. In his opening, he says, “As a son of an immigrant family, I am happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families” (Francis). Born in Argentina, Pope Francis was the son of an Italian immigrant. Here, he uses that connection to relate to many immigrants in America. The country itself was built by immigrants--physically and culturally. The railroads and many of the buildings that exist in this nation are the result of immigrant labor. Pope Francis, however, is also talking about the figurative things built by immigrants. The entire American way of life and culture is the result of immigrants. No one originated here except for pure Native Americans. Everything else and everyone else is a foreigner by origin. In this introduction, the Pope also makes one more emotional appeal. Unlike Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI before him, Francis is the
