The Pope is Bombarded With Insults After Telling People to Pray for Migrants on His Twitter Feed

* Pope Francis' tweet that 'migrants are first of all human persons' drew fire online

* 'Say a few words about Jesus, Mary, the Holy Ghost, the resurrection and Hell'

Pope Francis has been bombarded with abuse from Italian Twitter users after urging Catholics to pray for migrants.

'Migrants are first of all human persons, and that they are the symbol of all those rejected by today's globalised society,' the pontiff tweeted on Monday.

But his charitable sentiments garnered him abuse from social media users in Italy.

'When you have a bit of time between a lecture on migrants and a sermon on migrants, tell us something about the children and the destroyed families of Bibbiano,' said another.

Bibbiano is the Italian port where the German captain of a private rescue boat carrying illegal immigrants threatened to ram an Italian police vessel trying to stop it from landing last week.

'If maybe after four years talking only about migrants, you would also say a few words about Jesus, Mary, the Holy Ghost, the resurrection, Hell, I swear we wouldn't be offended,' wrote another.

Another Twitter user wrote: 'The word migrants is a mystification of reality. We begin to make distinctions; take the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to the Vatican and you keep them.'

'You're out of order! Kick your a*** to Avignon!' read one angry response, referring to the French town where seven successive popes reigned from 1309 and 1377.

His analysis seems to be almost backwards, these migrants are not symbols of the rejection of a globalized world as he put it, but the pawns of a globalist ideology that wants to destroy the sovereignty of nation states and impose a global order. A Christian should be especially wary of anyone wanting to do that.

I don’t hate the migrants nor do I blame them for wanting to escape their countries, which the globalist conspiracy destroyed for no rational reason. But that is what the Pope should be saying. Yes, have compassion for them, try to assist their countries in various ways to gain stability so that people will not feel the need to flee. And in some cases, recognize that people are being used by cynical groups who offer them assistance up to a point, then disappear when they get across a border.

The Pope is speaking mostly about the European situation so I wouldn’t try to analyze his words as a direct comment on the southern border of the U.S., in fact in Europe the migrants are mostly fleeing Libya and Syria, two countries that previous governments of the U.S. and other NATO countries allowed to be destroyed for no obviously good reason. Europe deserves this crisis, they made it impossible for people to survive in the countries they wrecked for brief and ultimately pointless financial gains.

If the Church is about truth, then the Pope needs to reflect on the truth. Just hand wringing about the migrants and not pointing out why they exist is not helpful. Europe needs to abandon globalism. It is the enemy of both the church and the people of Europe. And I don’t think it serves the migrants to come there either, they won’t adapt to it, they won’t prosper, and they will just become part of a new social crisis when the inevitable religious war breaks out throughout those European countries committing suicide. At least Hungary and Poland have enough sense and they (Mr. Bergoglio) are Catholic countries.
