The Pope is Bombarded With Insults After Telling People to Pray for Migrants on His Twitter Feed
The Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 7/10/19 | James Tweedie

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

* 'Take the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to the Vatican and you keep them,' tweeted one

* '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.

'Enough! Stop it! And change the record!' commented one Twitter user.

'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.

It wasn’t bad enough that seemingly every Catholic priest on Planet Earth turned out to be some kind of predatory homo - now the lame-brains elected a leftist idiot pope just to make SURE their religion falls into the dustbin of history.

“they are the symbol of all those rejected by today’s globalised society”

Rejected?

It’s pretty much the exact opposite.

They’re cultivated and coddled.

All because of globalism and the EU, the hub of globalization.

Thanks Mario, but I’ll pray for the folks who mean the most to me. You can pray, and care for whoever you want, but don’t tell me who I should care, and pray for. That’s between me and God.

The Catholic religion will never fall into the dustbin of history

Jesus founded the Catholic Church

The hierarchy on the other hand... Like Lucifer, Judas, and other well known prideful creatures believed that they are better than Jesus. The truth is they are not

The Pope and the US Church leaders go against the Church when the opine for open borders and illegal activity, harmful activity

The Catholic Church teaching is very much against both.

That’s all.

Good. People are fed up with migrants and the left trying to destroy the West with them.

I have at times defended all things Catholic from so many angles. I now have nothing to defend with besides the Pope and Vatican are not the real faith. The Catholic Church is rapidly turning into irrelevance.

Cue the Church Lady. “Well, isn’t that special. The Pope’s a commie.”

The Pope was insulted because he is telling a lie. This is not poor people looking for a better life. It is a migration to overwhelm and destroy Christianity and Western Civilization and replace it with Sharia Law and Islam. The phony Vicar of Christ is leading the charge across the world for this to happen.

Oh and it is also causing global warming and it’s Trumps fault
