Kościół wobec problemu granic. Cz. 1. Stanowisko biskupów katolickich w kryzysach migracyjnych w latach 2015–2022

The need to control and defend one’s borders is a condition for the survival of any organic system, including politically organized societies. Catholicism, as a universalist religion that has returned to its apolitical roots following the Second Vatican Council, has increasingly addressed the issue of borders from the perspective of moralism and pacifism. This creates a dilemma of loyalty for bishops serving within a community whose borders are contested. The two migration crises that began in 2015 and 2021 will serve as a natural experiment to analyze their attitudes towards this dilemma.
