Pope Francis: Rights of Migrants Trump National Security Concerns
Breitbart ^ | 21 Aug 2017

Pope Francis on Monday urged countries to greatly improve their welcome to migrants and stop collective expulsions, saying migrants’ dignity and right to protection trumps national security concerns.

Francis’ politically pointed message was made in view of the Catholic Church’s 2018 world refugee day, celebrated Jan. 14. It comes amid mounting anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe and beyond following waves of migrant arrivals and Islamic extremist attacks.

In the message, Francis demanded governments welcome, protect, promote and integrate migrants, saying Jesus’ message of love is rooted in welcoming the “rejected strangers of every age.”

“Kill the messenger!”

That makes no sense whatsoever.

“Then you can show EXACTLY where he is mis-representing what the CHURCH teaches and believes; right?”

When JESUS told the Pharisees that His Kingdom is not of this world, were there not deep layers to that Truth which delve beyond the physical manifestations our senses detect? He spent His ministry years teaching the spiritual truths, not the physical ones. His healing of so many was the physical manifestation of Who He IS, illustrating the creative power of GOD in HIM. But when He raised His body from the dead, He took on a physical manifestation that is not of this world, this three-variables-of-space-and-one-of-time world we sense; yet those who knew Him before the crucifixion were able to sense Him when He allowed them to.

The road to Damascus experience of the two disciples who did not recognize Him until He broke the bread and gave thanks scene is instructive in that regard, to those with spiritual ears to hear what the Spirit teaches. But so is the Daniel chapter five scene instructive, regarding the reality of the Universe having continua no further away than a man's arm, yet they are completely un sensed.

Francis does not have spiritual ears or eyes thus he deliberates and expounds and asserts what is of this world. And who is the god of this realm? ... Yeah, we see who is guiding Francis, in this world and of this world.

“Francis does not have spiritual ears or eyes thus he deliberates and expounds and asserts what is of this world. And who is the god of this realm?”

I have said many times over the last several years that I believe Pope Francis is an evil man who represents an evil group of people whose goal is destroying the Catholic Church, Christianity and all that is good in Western civilization.
