The leader of the Catholic Church went off script to denounce the conditions refugees face after entering Europe. Pope Francis was leading a service in Rome for modern-day Christian martyrs when he made the comparison.
During a service on Tiber Island in central Rome on Saturday, Pope Francis made a comparison between refugee camps and Nazi concentration camps.
Pope Francis recalled meeting a refugee in a camp on the Greek island of Lesbos in 2016.
"I don't know if that man is still in Lesbos or if he has managed to go somewhere else, I don't know if he was able to leave that concentration camp, because many refugee camps are concentration camps due to overcrowding," he said.

The B3 movement. I like it!
Pope Francis was speaking to his Catholic brethren who enjoy being nice to their Muslim invaders.
Keep in mind that Catholic Charities is a major importer of Muslims into the USA. Keep in mind that Catholic Charities receives billions of your tax dollars to place Muslims in your city.
Pope Francis wants to get the Muslim invaders removed from the ‘concentration camps’ so his Catholic Charities can received billions of tax dollars from European Governments to place them in their cities.
Without government subsidies the Catholic Church would be bankrupt.
Follow the money and it will lead you to what the Pope says.
“””He is a fool who is destroying the church.”””
I suspect the Roman Catholic Church was already destroyed when Francis became Pope.
This is why there is not a dimes worth of difference among the politics of Pewlouise, Boehner and lying Ryan... They all took false oaths.. and serve Rome not our Constitution...
Doesn’t this asshole EVER shut up? This clueless jerk has never worked a day in his life, lives in a silo, and thinks he’s an expert on everything.
The Pope is a Marxist and the Catholic Church hierarchy made a big mistake installing him. If he can’t tell the difference between a temporary holding camp housing Muslim invaders and a Nazi Extermination Camp murdering innocent victims then he is either an utter fool or a fraud working for the Devil. He has no business equating one to the other as there is no comparison either physically or spiritually.
He is an Argentinian. As all South Americans know: If you could buy an Argentinian for what he’s worth and sell him for what the person thinks he’s worth, you’d be an instant millionaire.
You do mean Groucho....?
Trying to get governments and faith ministry to mix is a good example of what unequally yoked looks like.
The Left are stealing language, the very meaning of words.
Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
Amen
Classic conceptual error, even used by the Pope.
Any idiot who studied history knows this is an unfair comparison and the Pope has missed yet another important point.
Mind you, he has to appease the Arabs or they will wreak havoc on the Vatican.
So for now, it’s low profile and hush hush on the truth.
The pope can get bent
Show me anyone who ever sneaked into a concentration camp to live or birth an anchor baby to establish a right to stay.
Konzentration Lager had a long history before Hitler made them killing centers.
No fan of this Pope, but where is the quote of him comparing the ‘refugee’ camps, which realistically could be called concentration camps,
in the same sense that American internment camps for Japanese-Americans could be called concentration camps.
All ‘concentration camp’ denotes is a place where people under internment for a particular reason are concentrated.
It becomes something quite different, unique and inflammatory when they are called “NAZI” concentration camps.
It looks like a propagandist took liberties with what the Pope said to create a false narrative.
This is what the Pope is reported to have actually said...
“...I don’t know if he was able to leave that concentration camp, because many refugee camps are concentration camps due to overcrowding,”
...not because they were synonymous Nazi concentration camps.

“Konzentration Lager had a long history before Hitler made them killing centers.”
Oh, gee, you mean like the British using them to liquidate South African civilians during the Boer War?
I’ll accept the Pope’s challenge here with a question for him. If, instead of putting Hitler away for a while so he could write “Mein Kampf,” where would the world be if the Weimar Republic had just put all Nazis in a concentration camp and kept them there?
Big big difference in how the inmates came to be there. Big difference between anyone running these camps and Adolph Hitler.
