WASHINGTON, DC Societies must end the use of the word minority and redefine the concept of citizenship, a top Vatican official argued Thursday at a religious freedom event hosted by the U.S. Department of State.
The comments from Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Holy Sees secretary for relations with states, came during a three-day summit, July 16 through 18, at the State Department the second annual Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom.
Gallagher said there is a need to develop and respect the concept of citizenship, adding:
The concept of citizenship is based on the equality of rights and duties under which all enjoy justice. It is, therefore, crucial to establish in our societies the concept of full citizenship and reject the discriminatory use of the term minority, which engenders feelings of isolation and inferiority. Indeed the equal protection and rights under the law remain an essential ingredient of the fair application of justice for all, underscoring the equal dignity of every person.
Pope Francis has advocated globalization and warned against nationalism that raises walls as well as unfettered capitalism.
The pope appears to favor a blurring of international boundaries, urging wealthy countries to open their borders to everyone in need.
The pope has railed against rising populism and increasing hostility towards illegal immigration, suggesting Christians should reject sovereignty and embrace globalism to make the globe a better place.

How long until the False Prophet calls down fire from the sky in plain sight of men?
Dunno. But they sure got a thing for Globalism.
No national sovereignty.
No borders.
A Palestinian state.
It’s like the United Nations a lot.
Oh yeah, Global Warming (TM) too.
40’ walls?
What a hypocrite is the pope.
No.
Get your own damnable house in order first. Assh0les.
Shut up Francis.
One world government and one world religion.
Satan’s dream to be his own little god controlling everyone and with everyone worshiping him.
No borders - No national sovereignty .
On a micro level, does that mean no families or individual property rights? Imagine that!
John Lennons BS makes less sense than it did in 1971.
Whether family, backyard or national border, always secure your perimeter.
Does this mean the Pope opposes affirmative action? My priests don’t speak against it (regardless of how openly discriminatory it is). Oh well, they can just have those “preferred minorities” fund their club.
Good luck with that.
Lot to say for a gated community no?
The pope wouldnt know a Christian even if he actually met one. Christians spread the Gospel of grace not socialism and worse
If things like this actually occurred would stuff like this go on ?

Protesters Question Archbishop’s Loyalty To US
Protest LA Archbishop Jose Gomez Residence
Dozens of protesters have shown up at Archbishop of Los Angelus Jose Gomez residence. Many carrying American flags and bearing signs questioning Gomez’s loyalty to the US not Mexico along with many signs demanding equal rights for American citizens in Mexico.
The protest was apparently triggered by the clerics decision to push forward with his predecessors decision the disgraced Cardinal Mahoney by offering amnesty thus citizenship to Mexicans who crossed the border illegally. While thousands of Americans in Mexico suffer under 2nd class citizenship unable to own property and suffer indignitys let alone participate in Mexican elections while living there in Mexico.
A spokeswoman for the group, *Harriet Hildegarden insisted her group consists of Catholics loyal to the church. “We will be protesting at other locations where prominent clergy of the church have sided with the Obama regime”. “Hildy” claims the church is supporting the democrat party which denied God at their convention and declared what she claims is war on the Catholics but would collude with it on “social engineering” issues including “amnesty” . When asked if she may be denied communion for her activities her reply was “Well it’s been known that when that happens quicker when clerics get personally attacked than when some politician challenges the church on the grounds of faith and morals” * Fictional name used not intended to reflect on any so named person living or deceased

No duhhhhh, really? We would like to concentrate on citizenship and not “minority” but the progs keep picking at the wounds so that they don’t heal!
He’ll get his 7 years of Tribulation.
And 3-1/2 years of his anti-messiah.
It’s all going where we expect it go.....
I heard he had $800 million in the bank whenever the attack happened.
Quite a bit opposite of the old song. Which people still get misty-eyed about. Which always makes it time for an eye-roll.
I can’t recall a single time during the current Papacy when a statement made by the Pope or his subordinates is at all consistent with what the nuns taught me in Catholic school during the 50s and 60s.
Top Vatican Officials (the ones from loooooong ago) don’t get much respect here from FR Catholics; just like the current Vicar of Christ.
Brings to mind the movie The Ten Commandments which I watched the other night after the Huckabee Show on TBN.
Where Aaron throws down the staff of Moses and it turns into a serpent,
Then the pharaoh’s priests throw down theirs and they turn into serpents also
Them Moses’ serpent devours satan’s serpents
