Pope likens Muslim migrants “driven from their land” to Joseph and Mary

All things liberals are.

"They were not immigrants, illegals, or migrant workers. They had a lodging problem, not a wealth or foreigner problem.

True. But I would submit that during their sojourn into Egypt shortly thereafter, they "were" migrant workers (but certainly NOT either illegals or immigrants). I'm sure God provided, and that provision was almost certainly "work". Probably mostly for Joseph, but ????.

[Williams]

I might accept his Christian charity, except where is any desire to convert these Muslims to the true faith? Of course he doesn’t think that would be right. Subjecting them to conversion would be the one thing that could assimilate them.

You can say that again...

Oh wait. You did.

as a practicing Catholic i must say- frankie is a hypocritical coward who gets more embarrassing by the day...

[Williams]

It’s not an issue of an apt analogy, Mary and Joseph were chosen by God to parent Jesus Christ. Saying they or Jesus were “migrants” is liberal sophistry. It’s like using them in a Coppertone ad and saying they sported cool tans.

[[The Cardinals chose poorly]]
Their choice is exposing the truth . Neither they nor the one they chose know God's word.
There is a reason God gave us the scriptures.
Jesus himself said (John 17:17) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

(John 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

If you don't know his word you can't know him. If you don't know him he will tell you "I never knew you" (Matthew 7:21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (Matthew 7:23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus said (John 10:9) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
The pope can't save anyone because he himself is lost and doesn't know him and neither do the cardinals that elected him.

The pope doesn't know it but God is letting him help flood Europe with Muslims so that Europe's Catholics finally realize that their church can't save them and has not been telling them the truth.

Europe's Catholics and Protestants who also don't believe the scriptures are going to be given a choice soon to either follow the real Jesus no matter what it cost them or to follow the demon behind Islam.

Pope likens Muslim migrants “driven from their land” to Joseph and Mary

Why then the obvious solution is to turn the Vatican into a refugee camp for Muslim "Migrants"!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I don't think he is insane, but Evil.

He's a child molesting faggot.

Bring back Benedict.

Hey Poopie, and just who “drove these people from their land?” Answer: Some of their “own kind!”

No , God provided them plenty of gold to raise him. That’s why the wise men delivered it .

(Matthew 2:11) And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

(Matthew 2:12) And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

(Matthew 2:13) And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

(Matthew 2:14) When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

He ignores the scriptures and believes the worship the same deity. The Vatican has already proclaimed that on their website before this pope was even elected.
The devil named Allah is not the God of the bible.
The God of the bible isn’t a liar and doesn’t condone rape, theft and murder.

"The Cardinals chose poorly"

Concur. Query....is Francis the first Jesuit pope??? I'm not a cradle Catholic (converted about ten years ago), so some of the finer points I still have to learn.

[CPONav]

I think that the Pope needs to read his Bible instead of watching msnbc. Mary and Joseph were not escaping problems in their own land, but were returning to their (Joseph’s) home city to pay taxes.
They did not arrive in Bethlehem demanding help from the city, but just wanted a place to sleep for the night.
The Pope’s analogy is not even close.

[Dana1960]

As a Catholic, let me just say that I find this Pope a complete disgrace.

[Bigg Red]

This Catholic agrees with you.

[Wonder Warthog]

"No , God provided them plenty of gold to raise him. That’s why the wise men delivered it."

Good point. I hadn't considered the gift of gold from that perspective. I would still bet that they used that very sparingly and as "emergency reserve only", and did plenty of work along the way. Certainly they were NOT immigrants of any sort, as their intent was to return to Nazareth ASAP.

[a fool in paradise]

Mary and Joseph traveled for the census.

Muslim migrants claim to be driven from their land by muslims.

And some muslims enter the West for the jobs, welfare, rape culture, and to commit terrorist acts.

Not very Jesus, Mary, and Joseph-like.
