Transcript

00:01Most of Pope Leo's U.S. bishop appointments have called for better treatment of immigrants in the country.

00:06At least 10 of Leo's 13 picks, including the new Archbishop of New York, have publicly criticized the policies.

00:13Some of them called Trump policies cruel, while others urged the administration to use due process in deportations.

00:20One of Pope Leo's closest U.S. advisors says the appointments reflect the church's firm stance on the treatment of immigrants.

00:26He adds, this view is now part of the belief that life is sacred from conception until death.

00:32Leo appeared to broaden the church's pro-life stance in September when he questioned whether Trump's policies aligned with church teachings.
