Pope Francis reneges on offer to take in Christian refugees By
New York Post ^ | April 22, 2016 | Yaron Steinbuch

A Christian brother and sister from Syria felt blessed to have been among the dozen refugees selected to start a new life in Italy — but now say their savior, Pope Francis, abandoned them on a Greek island, according to a report.

Roula and Malek Abo, who had been housed in a refugee camp on Lesbos, said they thanked their lucky stars when they found out the Vatican had selected them during the pontiff’s visit to the island last week, the Daily Mail reported.

Their dreams were shattered, though, when they were informed the following day that they would not be traveling to Rome. Instead, three Muslim families were taken.

None is needed. It is clear what happened.

This Pope is a loathsome human being, a false Christian and a puppet of George Soros. Wonder what Soros paid the College of Cardinals to pick this infividual.

You’d think that the Pope would at least pretend to be fair here. How tough could that be? But nope, I guess taking in even one Christian would ruin the message: Muslims good, Christians bad.

“The question why the pope took only Muslims is difficult to understand and he was suffering, I think, because he wanted to do something also for Christians as the chief of the Catholic Church. But he couldn’t because there is this international agreement [with the EU],” he said.”

Church must bow to globalism of course.

Simple. Vote each other off the island. Do we have to think of everything?

Gee, you would think that this so-called man was the head of all the Muslims around the world rather than all the catholics.

I think Obama tapped the pope’s cell phone (like he did with Merkel and others) and has collected some good dirt on him, thereby forcing him to help with the overrunning of Europe by Muslims.

The more I read about Pope Francis, the more I think there was a Vatican coup in getting him into his position.

Pope Benedict stepping aside so a Marxist can take his place?

Italy is incrementally being taken over by Muslims.

I’m more interested as to what the Pope was doing on Lesbos. Meeting Hillary and Huma perhaps?

Well of course they were. It was probably the intent all along, and the spotlight is off now. Vatican apologists will rush to blame the abandoned Christian refugees.
