Invitation from Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan to the
New Mexico Evangelical/Catholic Conference on the Manhattan Declaration

As you know, we were able to make great progress this year at the State Legislature in promoting the dignity of human life and traditional marriage and family.  We were able to be successful by building bridges with the Evangelical community that strongly supports these values just as we do.  You are probably aware of the Manhattan Declaration which was issued a year ago in which Catholic and evangelical leaders declared our commitment to these basic values.

New Mexico Catholic Bishops Speak Out Against Arizona's New Immigration Law

In union with our fellow Bishops in Arizona, we Catholic Bishops in New Mexico speak out strongly against the new Arizona Immigration Law. The Law would require police to question people about their immigration status – including asking for identification – if they suspect someone is in the Country illegally. We are concerned that legal immigrants and U.S. Citizens would probably be interrogated by the police if they look Hispanic, or in any other way, foreign. The law would lead to racial profiling, community distrust and a pervasive fear among immigrants. It would also cause
immigrants to hesitate to report crimes or to cooperate with the authorities and other investigations. Serious questions have also been raised about the constitutionality of the law and it is likely that legal challenges will be brought against the law by the U.S. Justice Department.
