( Pope Francis meets refugees at the Moria refugee camp, on the Greek island of Lesbos, Saturday, April 16, 2016.)
With Italian lessons and strolls around Rome, the 12 Syrian asylum seekers Pope Francis brought back with him from Lesbos are settling into new lives, their hosts said Monday.
The three Muslim families are being housed temporarily by the Saint'Egidio religious community in the Rome district of Trastevere while they await longer-term accommodation being prepared for them in the Vatican, community spokesman Maximiliano Signifredi told AFP.
"Yesterday they had their first Italian lessons. They have been going for walks around Trastevere, a new life is opening up in front of them," Signifredi said.
"Each of the three families has been assigned a small flat with everything they need while they are awaiting the more spacious apartments the Vatican is getting ready for them."
In a dramatic gesture designed to highlight the plight of hundreds of thousands of refugees arriving on the southern shores of Europe, Francis on Sunday flew back from Lesbos with the 12 Syrians.
The three couples, who have six children between them, were plucked from a detention camp on the Greek island to start new lives, more than 1,400 miles (nearly 2,300 kilometres) from their homes in Damascus and Deir Ezzor, a city in eastern Syria controlled by the Islamic State group.
Francis said on the plane back from Lesbos that the families had been chosen out of some 3,000 people at the camp simply because their paperwork was sufficiently in order to rapidly conclude an accord on their transfer with the Greek and Italian governments.
"I didn't make a choice between Christians and Muslims. All refugees are children of God," Francis told reporters.

He spends a few days in the US, then goes to Mexico and criticizes our policies, makes goo-goo eyes at the Castro brothers, holds hands with John Fing Kerry, embraces NWO and likes Obozo's stand on Gorebal Warming.
He admits a scant hand-full of refugees to his walled city, while chastising us for wanting to build a wall to keep the hungry hoards from contaminating America like they have done to their homeland.
Francis is concerned with things way beyond his job description (our salvation), and involves himself in our election process.
And, if he views any particular Church dogma as not in keeping with the times, he simply changes the rules.
(I wonder how the Muzzies like prosciutto and sausage on their pizza? )
Why didn’t just take men since 85% of the refugees are young single men?
two questions:
Were there no Christians he could bring home as pets, instead of future suicide bombers?
Are they actually planning to live in the Vatican or is he dumping them on Rome?
Did they have to cover the crosses and Catholic icons ???\\of course they did ...
cant have the islamics being offended...
“I didn’t make a choice between Christians and Muslims. All refugees are children of God,” Francis told reporters.
Nothing like kicking Christians to the curb. I wonder if in fact there are any there.
Sleeper cells.
I notice the Pope mentions abortion about twice a year, and the need to welcome the Muslim invaders about 20 times a day. I’m glad he’s not obsessed with abortion. It would be wrong to focus on one issue all the time.
Have they started bitching about the ethnic Italian food, the accommodations and the pretty girls not wearing Burkas?
Have they begun to demand halal food, a local mosque, more muslims to keep them company and an end to Christian churches and symbols withing their field of view"?
Have they raped any young Italian boys yet, washed they feet in the Holy Water fonts or defecated in the showers yet?
“”I didn’t make a choice between Christians and Muslims. All refugees are children of God,” Francis told reporters.”
Disgusting!
He should have been saving Christians, who are being murdered by the Islamic State terrorist forces, for their faith.
All people are creatures of God, but only the baptized are children of God.
What's Italian for "Kill the Infidels"?
I would settle into Roman life too, if he paid my way: transportation, lodging, food and medical. It would be great if he gave me some $ for pocket money.
But I would not go around slicing heads or raping women. I would become a contributing member of society.
Throw them in a gypsy camp outside Rome!
My understanding is that it is difficult for Christians to survive in the “official” camps, so they are often on their own outside the camps. As for getting paperwork from the muslim officials???
I was in Europe recently and noted two things about the Muslims that I saw, namely that there were two groups.
One, obviously wealthy (oil money?), and the other obviously poorer.
I saw in Europe the same Balkanization I’d seen years ago in Toronto– neighborhoods that looked like something out of the 3rd world.
It all has the feel of inevitability, and having been quite neatly planned and executed.
It does not bode well for the West.
The pope Francis = Judas ie NOT a christian .....as he said snakily against TRUMP in his plane
A christian must try to love and must try to make and find the truth all together !
Then a christian can build WALLS or BRIDGES according to circumstances .
“I didn’t make a choice between Christians and Muslims. All refugees are children of God,” Francis told reporters.
I’m sure all Muslims feel the same way. How nauseating.
Just a stroll through Dearborn, Michigan (if you dare) will prove how great is America’s diversity.
Great point you make!!!!
Wait until these Muslims encounter a flushing toilet. They’ll drink the water and wipe their asses with their left hands.
