Pope Francis has prayed for migrants in a special Mass, saying they are people and not just a social issue.

The Mass, celebrated in St. Peter’s Basilica on Monday, marked the sixth anniversary of the pope’s visit to the Italian island of Lampedusa on July 8, 2013. […]

The pope said, “they are persons. These are not mere social or migrant issues. They are the symbol of all those rejected by today’s globalized society.” …

True. And:

Rapists are people, not just a social issue.

Murderers are people, not just a social issue.

Suicide bombers are people, not just a social issue.

Pedophiles are people, not just a social issue.

Thieves are people, not just a social issue.

Serial killers are people, not just a social issue.

Yup. All people. And not just social issues.

don't let Atheist Marxists preach Christian values to us. They are doing so with bad intent.
On 22 Jan. 1908, in a Cheetham, Manchester speech entitled "SOCIALISM: 'ALL YOURS IS MINE!', with the grandson's introduction: "In the ranks of the Labour Party there were to be found many hard-line Socialist, to whose presence in the Liberal coalition Churchill took the strongest exception, while anxious not to alienate the working-class vote.”

Churchill said: "The Socialist - the extreme and revolutionary party of Socialists - are very fond of telling us they are reviving in modern days the best principles of the Christian era. They consider they are the political embodiment of Christianity, though, to judge by the language which some of them use and the spirit of envy, hatred, and malice with which they go about their work, you would hardly imagine they had studied the teaching of the Founder of Christianity with the attention they profess to have given to the subject.

But there is one great difference between Socialists of the Christian era and those of which Mr Victor Grayson is the apostle. The Socialism of the Christian era was based on the idea that "all mine is yours', but the Socialism of Mr Grayson is based on the idea that 'all yours is mine'.

Frankie kind of neglects the fact that their BEHAVIOR - the “migration” - is both voluntary on their part and is the root f the conflict.

The fact that they are people pales in comparison to the impact of what they choose to do, demanding that you and I pay for it while they wallow in their need.

“Pope: Migrants are people”

That’s right. They are. As such they have things called free will and responsibility to make moral choices.

Pope announces all migrants world wide to be given access to the Vatican. He prefers boys under the age of 10 but will make do with older kids but not a single one over 12.

Put a sock in it Frank and retire. We no longer need a communist/socialist Pope.

Of course they are people. People should live at their home and immigrate, if at all, IAW various national laws.

Burglars, thiefs, trespassers are people too... and they are a problem, so they get arrested.

This is the stupidest and most destructive pope ever.

Migrants is to Illegal Invaders is like Climate Change is to Globull Warming.

Unfortunate unsaid truth,that.
Francis( as a Catholic I will not call him my Pope) can be explained-and predicted-with ONE word-JESUIT! His Order is historically liberal, pro Communist and subversive. He is a socialist Hispanic first and always-priesthood and Papacy is but a tool. The more he says and does the more likely,IMO, that your last statement is right.

The Impopester doesn’t just want to destroy the Catholic church, he wants to destroy western civilization.

Trump should load up a fleet of 757’s with migrants and fly them to Rome, and tell the Pope to lead by example.

Migrants are people, not just a social issue.

This is true.

It is not physically possible for all 7+ billion people on the planet to come here.

The solution is to go back and fix their sh**hole countries.
