Pope Francis said Wednesday that fear of migration is “making us crazy” as he began a trip to Central America amid a standoff over President Donald Trump’s promised wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and a new caravan of migrants heading north.

Francis was asked by reporters about the proposed border wall Wednesday on the way to Panama, where he is looking to leave the sex abuse scandals buffeting his papacy behind. Francis responded: “It is the fear that makes us crazy.”

The Roman Catholic Church’s first Latin American pope and the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, Francis has made the plight of migrants and refugees a cornerstone of his papacy.

He is also expected to offer words of encouragement to young people gathered in Panama for World Youth Day, the church’s once-every-three-year pep rally that aims to invigorate the next generation of Catholics in their faith. …

John Paul II, I would listen to respectfully. Frankie, not so much.

That statement is nonsensical in the context of immigration policy - just weird.

He talks and behaves just like the Soros NWO order wanted him to do by placing him there.

He has pretty much destroyed the Church as planned.

Even more fear comes from fear of a crazy pope.
A dopy pope.

I hear that getting molted by men of the cloth will do that too.

Also lost respect for the RC Church in Covington.

><

Yes, that is absolutely disgusting. The teachers, the school and the archdiocese threw those kids under the bus.

The Pope, who’s crazy or evil, who is surrounded by walls, gates, and the Swiss Guard for protection says fear of migration is making us crazy? This is an Alice-in-Wonderland world.

This pope is an idiot. It’s not fear of (illegal) migration; it’s knowing how it ruins towns, cities, and states until it ruins an entire country in the case of the USA. We’ve all seen it. It’s not a random fear; it’s an established fact.

Nancy Pelosi needs to tell the Pope to tear down the immoral wall around the Vatican city.

RE: pope says fear of migration makes us crazy

Notice how these liberals ( yes, Francis, you are one of them ) always FAIL to add the qualifier — ILLEGAL to the word migration or immigrant.

It is the same with their deceptive use the word — “Palestinian” when they get killed by the IDF.

No mention of the words — Hamas or Terrorist. The headline is always “X number of PALESTINIANS killed by IDF”. This is in order to subtly imply that Israelis are savages who murder for no good reason.

Historically it makes a certain sense because Catholic Church teachings are unchanging, versus the shifting sands of the Protestant Churches.

The globalists and alphabet agencies have made no real secret of their desire infiltrate religious institutions. That’s why the push about “migration” and “global warming”. Bank on it.
