Jesuit Superior General: “No country has a right to turn away migrants” AUG 28, 2019 3:00 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS 1 COMMENT
The superior general of the Jesuits, Father Arturo Sosa Abascal, has declared “that no country has the right to turn away migrants” because in his view, “the goods of the land are for everyone.” Sosa also claims that “migrants come to make a contribution, which is greater than what they receive from the host country”; never mind the advancement of Islamization, and Germany’s admission that 75% of its migrants face long-term unemployment and life on benefits, and the fact that in Switzerland over 80% of Somali migrants are on welfare.
Sosa knows nothing, or pretends to know nothing, about the Islamic doctrine to conquer the House of War, which is harmful to the Christian faith which he professes to serve, as well as to every aspect of a free society. He is living in the past, in an age when most Western countries once operated on a point system to ensure that immigration was beneficial to the host country. Under such a system, migrants who offered no benefit to a country or who may have been discovered to have a dangerous background or a harmful communicable disease were sometimes turned away. In Sosa’s view, no one should be refused, and all borders should be eradicated.
Sosa is, not surprisingly, a loyal follower of the Pope of Islam — who has incessantly advocated for open-door policies and mass migration. Sosa also believes in that there is a “plan that originated in the United States to force Pope Francis to resign” and “bring in a new one who will discontinue deepening the path that Francis has indicated and undertaken.”
In Sosa’s flawed reasoning that the land belongs to “everyone,” that “everyone” would include Islamic State fighters who have infiltrated the refugee stream, as well as jihadis from Boko Haram, al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and drug lords and the like.
What makes Sosa so dangerous as a Catholic Church leader is that there are many who trust him and follow in his footsteps. He is a blind guide who has chosen to ignore the realities of modern-day migration problems in the West. Unfortunately, this unfit leader has forgotten the victims of jihad and Islamic supremacy.
The superior general of the Jesuits declared this week that no country has the right to turn away migrants, claiming the land belongs to everyone.
“The challenge for a country that receives migrants is not only reception, but integration, which means receiving the contribution that immigrants bring,” said Jesuit Father Arturo Sosa Abascal in an interview with Tempi.it.
“They come to make a contribution, which is greater than what they receive from the host country,” he claimed, seemingly without evidence.
“Italians must remember their own experience,” he continued.
“They came to Latin America, including my country of Venezuela, and they were welcomed; they became part of society in the same way as everyone else, and today they are not considered ‘different’,” he said, drawing a somewhat dubious comparison between the largely legal migration of Italians to South America and Europe’s largely unregulated migrant crisis.
“In Europe we must recognize the contribution that migrants make to the societies that receive them and thank them for it,” the Jesuit added.
Then, in one of his more controversial claims, Father Sosa said that nations have no right to enforce their borders because in the end, the land belongs to everyone.
“Those who live in a given territory have no right to turn away migrants,” he said, “because they have no absolute right to that territory. They do not own it; the goods of the land are for everyone.”
“I do not see a conflict of rights — those of migrants and those of those who already live in the place — but the opportunity for a human dialogue to create a universal fraternity through these movements of populations due to various reasons: wars, persecutions, poverty, the search for a better life,” he said.
“Everyone’s rights are the same. The first is to be recognized as human beings equal to all other human beings,” he said.
Turning to the issue of modern political movements, Father Sosa said that populism is dangerous, alleging it is an authoritarian ideology.
“There are various populisms, as well as sovereignisms, that we find within fundamentalism,” he said, “sovereignism” being a term for belief in independent nation-states.
“Populism conceals various forms of authoritarianism under the blanket of the representation of the people. It takes a great deal of political discernment,” he said, adding that it represents an “ideological form.”
“One thing is a political idea, another is an ideology,” he claimed.

Before the clamor begins I wish to state that in circa 2005 I was told the same thing on site when I posted the 250+ years my people had been here did indeed makes this 'my country'. I was told in no uncertain terms it might be where I live but I didn't 'own' it and my attitude was racist and anti-American being opposed to the invasion of the US by the Little Brown Brothers.
George W said something akin to that and there were quite a few noisey Freepers who loudly seconded the President of North Mexico.
The Vatican is surrounded by a wall
The Vatican is a country. How many migrants have they taken in this year?
This guy can stick it where the Sun doesn’t shine.
And that goes for ALL the open borders amnesty types, especially the ones wearing R jerseys like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio.
Grahamnesty in his last amnesty attempt told La Raza he was going to make the bigots (citizens who oppose giving up their country) to shut up.
I’ll take dumbass Jesuit Superior Generals for $1,000 Alex.
No. The land does not belong to everyone. Only Communists make that claim — and by “everyone” they really mean the government.
How does someone that ignorant rise in the ranks of tbe Catholic church?
So speaketh the forked tongue of the Black Pope!
My takeaway: Jesuits are evil and controlled by Marxists.
To the Vatican I say:
“Tear down that wall!”
“the land belongs to everyone”
Oh really - is that why the Pope apportioned all of North America to Spain in 1495 at the Treaty of Tordesillas?
Apparently the term “everyone” is a term of art for the adherents of his little gang and does not include nasty people like us Protestants.
Which is, of course, why we really didn’t care what deals he and the Spanish Crown made with each other in Tordesillas OR Zaragosa 500 years ago. We just kicked their butts out.
I don’t recall FReeRepublic changing that much. I certainly would not have disagreed with you. IIRC the time they tried to sneak amnesty through COngress back in the 90s we melted the phone lines. That was years before FReeRepublic.
I do wonder if the opinion here wouldn’t change if we started just parachuting the illegals over the Vatican. See how long it takes before they start “turning the poor away”.
Flapdoodle and baked wind.
YES they do. Just ask Japan.
YES they do. Just ask Japan.

Can one walk in, freely, and stay there as they please? From Anywhere? As long as they want?
Also, “The goods of the land are for everyone” is a bit vague, even if getting past how much it sounds like a naive fairytale notion of Marxian spirit.
I mean, if one tends to the land, turns the soil, sows the seed, caries the water, and mows the weeds, can another just walk up and harvest?
I’m scratching my head as to how any reasonable intelligent person can pout out such floofy naivitee
Seriesly ?
As though yet another reason was needed to despise 'religion'.
Looks like the Jesuit Superior General likes to parse his words. Does he know the difference between legal and illegal migrants?
Is he also parsing the Bible to justify his statement?
How much money is he collecting from the government to resettle illegal immigrants?
“No country has a right to turn away migrants”
So, if, in 1480, the Martyrs of Otranto had met the Truks with open arms they might not have become martyrs?
Yes and if the people of Sicily in the 9th century had just been welcoming to the Saracens from Spain they could have had a peaceful and prosperous life in an enriched bi-cultural community.
Separation of church and state?
