Pope Francis: nations that block illegal immigration should seek God’s forgiveness

The hits, they just keep on coming. In his Wednesday audience today, Pope Francis called for “respect for migrants” and stated that those who seek to curb illegal immigration should seek God’s forgiveness. You can try to lambaste the secular site quoted below as being biased, but, just to quell that temptation, I also provide Rome Reports’ video of his audience that includes the same message.

Pope Francis on Wednesday called for respect for migrants and suggested that “people and institutions” who close doors to them should seek forgiveness from God.

The pope’s appeal, made at the end of his weekly general audience, came amid growing debate in Europe on how to deal with an immigrant crisis that has included clashes at the French-Italian borer between police and migrants.

“I invite you all to ask forgiveness for the persons and the institutions who close the door to these people who are seeking a family, who are seeking to be protected,” he said in unscripted remarks delivered in a somber voice.

France and Austria have stepped up border controls on migrants coming from Italy, turning back hundreds and leaving growing numbers camped out in train stations in Rome and Milan…….

……The pope said “these brothers and sisters of ours are seeking refuge far from their lands, they are seeking a home where they can live without fear.”

He asked for prayers that their “human dignity always be respected” and urged the international community to “work together and efficiently to prevent the causes of forced migration”.

On top of his global warming claptrap he now says you need to seek God's forgiveness if you want to protect your country from being overran with illegals. Take that you mean old republicans.

The Pope is reaching the stage where he needs to be removed from office, and there is no mechanism for doing so.

The Vatican should set the example and welcome all illegal immigrants to its own sovereign entity.

I am curious to see how many can fit into 110 acres.

Next week he’ll get up and recite the Communist Manifesto.
You know he wants to.

Geez...I’m starting to believe that this guy really is Petrus Romanus and that he’s going to oversee the destruction of his church.

I don't think sanity is the issue here... it's ideology. He's a hardcore marxist.

When he allows illegal immigrants to take up residence I’ll stop thinking he’s an ungodly hypocrite.

This Pope is the Vicar of the Anti-Christ. I am NOT kidding.

Catholics should seek Gods forgiveness and leave this marxist’s distorted faith.

When the Vatican allows hordes of illegals to permanently usurp territory within ITS boundaries, then we’ll talk.

Until then.. “pope”... STFU.

The world, earth .. belongs to Satan (the earth is cursed ... remember) ... and if this is true about the Pope, he's saying everybody should be all in one with the earth ...

Imagine there's no heaven ..... etc.

I think he not only imagines it ... he believes it

Catholics would do well to rise up and revolt and impeach him

Nations are nations for a reason. They seek autonomy, the right to make (and enforce) their own laws, and independence from others. Without laws defending a border, there is no nation.

Pope Frank should consider this when he surveys Vatican City. His house can hold thousands and his coffers are sufficient to feed and clothe millions.

Do unto others, Frank, and stop telling nations how to behave.

It’s becoming more clear what type of individual the Pope is.
This is very telling.
