Pope Francis urged governments on Saturday to get migrants and refugees out of holding centers, saying many had become "concentration camps".
During a visit to a Rome basilica, where he met migrants, Francis told of his visit to a camp on the Greek island of Lesbos last year.
There he met a Muslim refugee from the Middle East who told him how "terrorists came to our country". Islamists had slit the throat of the man's Christian wife because she refused to throw her crucifix the ground.
"I don't know if he managed to leave that concentration camp, because refugee camps, many of them, are of concentration (type) because of the great number of people left there inside them," the pope said.
Francis praised countries helping refugees and thanked them for "bearing this extra burden, because it seems that international accords are more important than human rights".

Goofy popes used to be able to mess up things less. But now here’s one with the global media and a yakker to match.
I wonder if the idea of a specifically papal Roman church will finally prove untenable.

I understand that the Vatican took in 2 whole families at one time to show they were doing their part. I haven’t heard anything about that lately so don’t know if they are still there.
Let a few thousand come live with you, Frank, in Vatican city.
We’ll see how you feel when a several dozen nuns have been raped, your guards in their clown uniforms can’t keep up with assaults, refugees are defecating and washing their private parts in public fountains and when portions of your city are no-go zones.
