As thousands of refugees pour into Europe, Pope Francis has called on every parish and religious community to take in one family each.
He said the Vatican state would set the example, with its two parishes each taking in a family of refugees in the coming days.
There are more than 25,000 parishes in Italy alone, and some 12,000 in Germany, where many refugees fleeing war and hardship in the Middle East hope to end up.
“Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees, the Gospel calls us and asks us to show solidarity to the most vulnerable and those who have been abandoned — to give them a real hope,” Pope Francis said after his Sunday address in the Vatican.
The crowd in St. Peter’s Square applauded the pontiff, himself the son of Italian emigrants to Argentina, as he said: “Every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary of Europe, take in one family.”

2016 is looking like it will be a year for the history books. I think the SHTF in 2016.
How about every mosque?
I seem to recall Saudia Arabia has lots of room, and lots of money
China has ghost cities, hundreds of apartment TOWERS empty!
How about we host a big pig roast?
Any Syrians that want to attend can stay here for a while - those that don’t can take a flying $%&@ at a rolling doughnut!
Hammer, meet nail. Lots of mosques in Europe, have you heard ONE Imam, call for Muslims to take in their brethren?
Are they migrant families? Or are they an invasion force of able-bodied young men who are apparently to extreme for Assad?
The Pope is going to get some people killed.
I heard on the cnn that the 2 wouldn’t necessarily be living in the parish.
What about every Mosque?
I take it you are not a christian. Perhaps you can show him the way.
I am actually a Christian and as such I don’t believe in any pope or catholic nonsense.
There’s a reason Catholics identify themselves as “Catholic”.
A the gospel doesn’t say to take in savages who will rape your daughter and kill you.
When the Pope takes in a number of migrants into his residence that puts the same proportional financial burden on his personal resources as it would the typical European family, then maybe he has the right to make such a stupid statement.
Until then, STFU Pope! I’m sick of your socialist commie views.
Couldn’t say it any better. He says to bring the cancer into your home. I am so through with this liberal nut!!
This “pope guy” is definitely no representative of God. He’s totally screwed up. Can’t Catholics do a recall vote and kick this stooge out on his ass?
Cluster.
Does the Pope want to destroy the church? Because when these savages will have killed the catholics hosting them, does he truly expect to be named Caliph?
Which one do you want??
