Honduran cardinal visits Texas detention center
May 05, 2015
Honduran Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga visited Central Americans housed at a Texas detention center for migrant families, the Fides news agency reported.
The prelate, who serves as coordinator of the Council of Cardinals that advises the Pope, also spoke in San Antonio, where he called upon the United States to do more to curb domestic drug abuse.
“The drug money isn’t in Latin America,” he said. “It’s in the banks of the United States and Europe.”

I am surprised that the Cardinal did not comment on the conditions in the Texas detention center and compared them to the conditions in Honduras detention centers. Maybe he was concerned that it would take the wind out of the USCCB's sails.
