The National Pastoral Meeting of the Catholic bishops of the Dominican Republic has ended in a request for foreign nationals, meaning Haitians, to be treated fairly. The Bishop of La Vega, Antonio Camilo Gonzalez, called for "an end to the contradictions between Dominican and Haitians... as brothers of the same land."
The bishops ended the XXVII National Meeting by calling for an end to the division with the Haitians. The bishops of Barahona, San Juan de la Maguana, La Vega, Santiago and Higuey along with 300 other religious leaders took part in the Meeting. Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez made the opening remarks.
