In his general audience Wednesday, Pope Francis launched an appeal to the nations of the world to open their hearts and their doors to migrants who are standing “at the border,” in an apparent reference to the many migrants camped at key border positions trying to enter Europe.

After you, Mr. Pope. I wonder how it’s going for Michael Moore? Have they decimated his place yet, or was that a bunch of talk?

Up here in our city, we put up Syrian refugees in several hotels. They didn’t know how to behave, and the hotel owners complained they were bothering other customers, so they all got moved to one hotel. After they moved out, not only did they require lots of cleaning up after, but they had destroyed all of the Bibles in the rooms.

Many of these dregs are military age islamist males getting their butts kicked back home, now looking for warm beds, envelopes full of cash, and nonmuslim women

^^^^ This is the Migrant Crisis in a Nutshell.

How many immigrants does the Vatican take in on a permanent basis every year? And what of their 33 foot wall surrounding Vatican City?

Why doesn’t he ask the nations of the world to provide for the needs of their countrymen so that there wouldn’t be any migrants?

I know, how about they stay where they are and fight for change.

Most successful nations have done that.

I’m bothered by the fact that Francis doesn’t want us to convert them to Christianity. Just give them a place to rest and recuperate so they can better wage war on the West. Remember that the Good Samaritan did not take the injured man home with him. He put him up in an inn and paid the inn keeper to take care of him.

If I take a refugee into my house, they are going to say a Christian blessing over their meals, like everyone else, and those meals will often include pork. Believe me, they’d prefer a safe hotel in Syria.

How about if we make it safe for them to STAY HOME?

Fix Mexico and kill ISIS.

Reminds me of Clint’s line to the preacher in High Plains Drifter: “These people your brothers and sisters? Then you won’t mind them living with you....”

Go ahead, Pontiff.

Open the doors of the Vatican wide.

Wen we see you take in 100,000 of these Islamic refugees that you are asking the rest of us to take in. You take them into the Vatican grounds and Vatican, and house, shelter, and feed them...then we will put such measures up for a vote here in this country...where they shall fail resoundingly.

But you show us th way by example.

It is time for the Pope to open the Vatican to the Muslim invaders, sell off the Vatican treasures to feed the Muslim horde and then establish a Mosque within St. Peter’s Square to show his commitment to the destruction of the Christian West. When he is done with that he can dial 666 and report to his master.

Open your treasure chest, your relics, your secrets, give away all your land and tear down your own wall.

Then we’ll talk.

Pope Francis, who lives in Vatican City, which has the most restrictive immigration and citizenship policies in the world...

That is very true! You can only get Vatican citizenship by appointment, and even then the citizenship is usually only temporary! For example, you MIGHT get citizenship if you work there in a special capacity. But you'll lose that citizenship when you retire.

That really makes a parishioner want to drop money in the collection basket.

All the people telling us we’re bigoted and heartless for wanting to close our borders should open their homes up for these folks.

They can put the word out on Facebook so their friends and family and the whole world will see how progressive and inclusive they are.

They will not be allowed to lock their doors and windows must also stay open.

Anything in the house will be fair game to their guests.

When guests start to defecate on the carpet, drink all the 300 dollar wine and rape the lady of the house, the homeowner is barred from calling 911 because that would be racist.

If these conditions were really in place, nobody would go for that BS.
