WASHINGTON — In response to the Executive Orders that are expected to be signed Monday by President Trump, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) offered the following statement from its spokesperson, Chieko Noguchi, executive director of public affairs:

“The bishops’ conference will be carefully reviewing the executive orders that are expected to be signed today by President Trump. The Catholic Church’s foundational teaching calls us to uphold the sacredness of human life and the God-given dignity of the human person. This means that the care for immigrants, refugees, and the poor is part of the same teaching of the Church that requires us to protect the most vulnerable among us, especially unborn children, the elderly and the infirm. The bishops’ conference will work with the Trump Administration as well as the U.S. Congress to advance the common good for all, which will include instances of agreement, as well as disagreement.”

The USCCB announced its decision not to renew the cooperative agreements with the federal government related to children’s services and refugee support.
