Pope Francis: Prioritize migrants' dignity over national security !! 21 August 2017
What's wrong with this picture?
Pope Francis has issued a 20-point action plan to governments on refugees and migrants to try to galvanise their response to an issue seen by the Vatican as one of the biggest global challenges of the 21st century.
His intention is to lay the ground for the drafting of two global compacts on refugees and migration, which are expected to be adopted at the UN general assembly in September 2018.
The roadmap was published on Monday by the Vatican’s migrants and refugees section, which was set up by Francis last year and operates under his direction. The action points were personally approved by the pontiff.
In a message issued before publication, Francis said he had “repeatedly expressed my particular concern for the lamentable situation of many migrants and refugees fleeing from war, persecution, natural disasters and poverty”. The situation was “undoubtedly a ‘sign of the times’,” he said.
The document, Responding to Refugees and Migrants: Twenty Action Points, says the world is facing “the largest movement of displaced people in recent memory”.
It says: “While massive numbers of people have been forced to leave their homes due to persecution, violence, natural disasters and the scourge of poverty, migration should nevertheless be recognised, not as a new phenomenon, but rather as a natural human response to crisis and a testament to the innate desire of every human being for happiness and a better life.
“This reality, with its important cultural and spiritual dimensions, is having a significant impact on attitudes and reactions all over the world.”
The document’s 20 points are grouped in four calls to action: to welcome, to protect, to promote and to integrate. Their “ultimate goal is the building of an inclusive and sustainable common home for all”
You first, Vatican City.
Dear Pope: Let’s see how many that big apartment at the Vatican can hold and we’ll talk.
Western countries need to help their own poor first.
All Francis needs to do is open the Vatican gates and invite all Islamic migrants to live there and enjoy all of its resources.
This Pope, is revealed.
As if he hadn't been already.
Tear down the Vatican Walls and turn the place over to The Caliphate.
And that is the difference.
It is in Catholic teaching that nations have the right to protect themselves and to go to war when threatened.
The last thing we need is to be forced to accept people into our country who are working for our demise.
Sounds like Frankie really should go back and read Catholic teaching instead of relying on his commie friends to tell him what to think.
Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?
I don’t think he really cares about Catholic doctrine.
They're definitely in the running. On Bolsa Ave. in Fountain Valley, CA, you can see hundreds of business signs in a single block. That's entrepreneurial spirit!
Popes don’t have to be too swift it seems.
Close the doors.
Show refugees already here the way out.
Deport the illegal aliens.
Stop taking Muslims, even if family.
Face palm!!
Worst. Pope. Ever.
“Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?”
I was going to post the exact same line, but you beat me to it, lol. Good thing I read the comments first, and saw yours. Great minds think alike.
Deport the illegal aliens.
Stop taking Muslims, even if family
How many refugees have the Saudis Libya Jordan Iran Tunisia etc taken in? Could it be a deliberate ploy to flood Western countries with Muslims to get Islam converts and stamp out Christianity.
Bergoglio is a puppet of Soros, and tailors his teaching—including his encyclicals—to the agenda of the EU and UN. His encyclicals are propaganda for Al Gore, Planned Parenthood, etc., etc.
Pray for a quick end to this obscene papacy.
