Through
globalization, travel is expanding the interactions of people with different
faiths. Immigration sometimes causes entire communities, including their
religious leaders, beliefs, and gods to move across the world. There is much
more information about different types of religions available and new
technologies help to educate participants and alter strategies. New religious
institutions are made from older ones by new immigrants in cities. They are
able to connect to their homes and networks.
Immigration
from Catholic countries are renewing Catholic churches within the United States
through new political engagements, membership, and worship styles. The Catholic
News Agency said in June of 2006, the Pope discussed the new possibilities and
the new risks of globalization. He says it is a chance to make a network of
understanding between people, but also stages a problem within marginalization
and poverty. A year before the Pope expressed these concerns on globalization,
many rallies occurred in major cities within the United States.
The
U.S. Catholic leadership encouraged the support and changes being made for the
U.S. immigration laws. The Church wants to reunite families across the world
and stop low wage working. In turn, immigrants are rejuvenating the Church for the
upcoming years. Many Mexican immigrants have brought their religious beliefs
and practices to New York City and have helped reshape the Catholic churches
while working in low-wage jobs. For example, the image of the Virgin of
Guadalupe is now seen in New York churches. It is said that in 1531, miracles
began to happen and Our Lady of Guadalupe represents a lesson of faith and a
lesson of understanding.
