Vatican Official Decries ‘Obsession’ with National Security, Border Control
Breitbart ^ | 12 Jan 2018 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

A Vatican official has come out swinging in defense of Pope Francis’ insistence on the topic of immigration, accusing the Pope’s critics of being “obsessed” with national security and border control.

Asked in an interview with Italian media whether the Pope isn’t “obsessed” with the immigration question, Jesuit Father Michael Czerny, undersecretary for the Vatican’s office of Migrants and Refugees, responded that it isn’t Pope Francis who is obsessive, but rather his critics.

Many would say that the modern “obsession with borders and national security to the detriment of the rights and dignity of refugees and refugees” is excessive, the priest declared. And for many others, “the media predilection for sensational stories that feed xenophobia and isolationism is also excessive,” he added.

Maybe we should have let Mussolini take the Vatican.

I’m assuming the Vatican has no locks on any of its doors.

Or maybe it has no doors.

Evidently “Pope” Frances is a wholly-owned subsidiary of George Soros.

Is Czerny calling for the dissolution of the Pontifical Swiss Guard, then?

Last time I checked they’ve had a very good wall for centuries. Oh, wait, do what I say, not what I do. Best line from Kingdom of Heaven is when the hospitaller says “ that’s what the religion people say but not, I think Christ would say”

I suggest that the pedophile church mind it’s own business. They have a huge wall around the Vatican and have for centuries.

Then I submit that The Vatican should be absorbed into Italy and become a member of the EU.

And why does the Vatican have walls 40-feet high and 15-feet thick along with armed guards?

Your concern is touching, *******!

In its sincerest form, you would now be tearing down the wall around the Vatican, and around your residence.

Stupidity and hypocrisy have no religious biases...

Where was the Vatican when the borders were being sealed in Ukraine and the Volga regions back in 1933?

“She said nothing”.

Expecting the newly collectivized farms to be another “beautiful creation” in the model of the communist reductions of Paraguay, was she?

Then the Vatican won’t have a problem with taking in all of the muslims flooding into Italy and the rest of Europe?

The crusaders spent centuries fighting back the muslim hordes and running them out of Europe.

Now the socialsts and catholics, a few centuries later, are welcoming the muslim barbarians with open arms.

These Globalists speak as if the US keeps out everyone.

They know we have generous legal immigration laws. They are liars. Even Catholics shouldn’t hesitate to call them that.

So his Popeness will be removing all the locks, throwing the gates open, and tearing down the walls at the Vatican. Right?

Interesting how the Jesuits always seem to prop themselves up with the lie of their confessional and sacramental necessity among the subjugated natives.

That’s nothing new under the Aten.
