"Unfortunately, among them there are immigrants in an irregular situation, who, however, independently of their legal status, have inalienable human dignity. Therefore their rights must be safeguarded and not ignored or violated. An irregular migration status, in fact, does not mean criminality. The solution is better international cooperation that discourages irregularity, with increased legal channels for migration."
-Archbishop Marchetto, secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant Peoples, during the Global Forum on Migration and Development, held in Brussels, Belgium from July 9 to 11 [bolding mine]
Right, so if I live in Country A and I want to enter Country B and Country B has certain laws regarding immigration and I choose to circumvent those laws when I enter Country B, I am not breaking the law, I am simply irregularly entering Country B...
And when I commit a sin, I don't need to go to confession because I didn't actually commit a sin, I committed an irregularity...

Thats some brutal logic. But I can't disagree with it.
By that logic, an irregular way to enter a house--say, through the window--doesn't mean criminality, even if it is breaking and entering.
This bishop needs his head screwed back on straight. It's come loose.
