Pope Francis: Countries that Take in Refugees Must Change
Frontpage Mag ^ | January 17, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Some interesting tidbits from Pope Francis' statement on migrants and refugees. Via Andrew Stuttaford at the National Review.

"Migration movements are now a structural reality, and our primary issue must be to deal with the present emergency phase by providing programmes which address the causes of migration and the changes it entails, including its effect on the makeup of societies and peoples."

"At this moment in human history, marked by great movements of migration, identity is not a secondary issue. Those who migrate are forced to change some of their most distinctive characteristics and, whether they like or not, even those who welcome them are also forced to change."

"The presence of migrants and refugees seriously challenges the various societies which accept them. Those societies are faced with new situations which could create serious hardship unless they are suitably motivated, managed and regulated. How can we ensure that integration will become mutual enrichment, open up positive perspectives to communities, and prevent the danger of discrimination, racism, extreme nationalism or xenophobia?"

"Public opinion also needs to be correctly formed, not least to prevent unwarranted fears and speculations detrimental to migrants."

This mean no freedom of speech or religion, and no equal rights for women, because these are offensive to muslims?

Whites are being targeted for assassination in the third world and pope lectures us about being more welcoming to third worlders in our own countries.

Donald Trump summed it up best in his 3 minute poem about a snake.

As a Traditional Roman Catholic I will pray for this man. However his judgment’s, and eventual judgment will be for the Lord. However to paraphrase: Will someone rid me of this troublesome priest. Frank the Red.

Does he really want a Muslim Europe, or think it will advance socialism somehow?

The Pope is a stinking islamist facilitator. He can go to Hell, and take his “religious” advice with him.

Now, that's unfair. Vatican City has taken in thousands of refugees. And they have spent millions in Church money to support them.

Oh, wait a minute. Vatican City has only taken in a couple of refugee families. And the Church treasury remains intact. So, never mind. You are right.

This Pope, 0bama and perhaps Angela Merkel are Minions of the anti-Christ as far as I am concerned.
