The Vatican’s Policy of Welcoming the Foreign Faithful: An Example of Two Dioceses in France and Italy
Abstract
The article aims to present the institutional bases of the pastoral care of migrants within the Catholic Church. After a historiographical overview of the documents produced by the leaders of the Catholic Church from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, the article describes the institutions set up for this purpose in Italy and France, with particular reference to the dioceses of Milan and Paris. Through the analysis of these two European realities, this article aims to explore how the Catholic Church continues to concretely reaffirm its social thinking and its support for the integration policies of host countries.
