Brooklyn’s top Roman Catholic clergyman urges a world view on immigration
Bishop of Brooklyn Nicholas DiMarzio Wants U.S. to Adopt a ‘Global Perspective’ Toward Migrants and Refugees
The bishop of Brooklyn says the next president of the U.S. had better know what in the world, literally, is going on with immigration.
The Most Rev. Nicholas DiMarzio has led the Diocese of Brooklyn since 2003, but for much longer than that — in fact, ever since he was ordained a priest in 1970 — he has been a forceful voice on behalf of migrants and immigrants.
DiMarzio raised that voice again last Wednesday at the Center for Migration Studies’ 2016 Academic & Policy Symposium, held at 1 New York Plaza in Lower Manhattan.
