Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss differing Christian responses to immigration enforcement, as some clergy quietly minister to fearful immigrants while others emphasize obedience to immigration law and self-deportation. The conversation explores compassion, legal responsibility, and how churches navigate faith and immigration policy.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Etienne v. Ferguson. The discussion centers on a Washington law requiring priests to report abuse disclosures heard in confession. Panelists examine religious liberty, clergy privilege, child protection, and whether the state can compel priests to break the seal of confession.
