ROME — Modern migrants share many similarities with the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land, Pope Francis asserts in his message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2024.

The biblical narrative of Exodus, depicting the Israelites on their way to the promised land, “naturally comes to mind” when thinking of immigrants today,” the pontiff states in his message, released by the Vatican Monday.

“The images of the biblical exodus and of migrants share several similarities,” the pope continues. “Like the people of Israel in the time of Moses, migrants often flee from oppression, abuse, insecurity, discrimination, and lack of opportunities for development.”

Francis just doesn't when to quit and be quiet

[Tell It Right]

Correction: the Jews obeyed laws for hygiene.

I think the college of cardinals punked the catholics with this pick. Or someone dropped the wrong smoke pellet.

[wildcard_redneck]

Satan will be calling antipope Bergolio to hell soon.

[Locomotive Breath]

That would only be true if it were Egyptians fleeing Egypt.

[dfwgator]

[Orosius]

No, the analogy that actually fits the situation is the barbarians invading the Roman Empire, which is what first comes to mind to people with common sense and an accurate knowledge of history.

[Mad Dawg]

So, what are we, the Amalekites to be conquered and destroyed?

[VeniVidiVici]

This guy is an idiot.

[chopperk]

Francis is wrong; there is no comparison.

[ocendot]

Well if you carry that analogy out to it’s biblical conclusion, then the migrants coming to the U.S. must kill all the people already here, if this is their promised land. Pope Frank needs to think before he speaks.

[ridesthemiles]

HE NEEDS TO SOBER UP.

[Obadiah]

How many illegals are living at the Vatican?

[Bob434]

Really? Th3 exodus had rapists and murderers and criminals invading a land that wasn’t theirs, attacking guards, robbing h9m3s along the way, etc etc etc? Hmm, pope reads a different Bible than we do I guess.

Catholics vote 50% democrat. Abortion pushing democrats. In every presidential election. The vast majority don’t give a crap yhay practicing birth control is against the religion and they cohabiting is still living in sin regardless of their wanting the catholic religion to be a democratic institution. It is not
Most Catholics don’t give a rats a that it is a mortal sin to miss mass on Sunday.

I’m in the camp that sees it as they get the pope they deserve

Like Americans get the president they deserve best exemplified by the ‘men’ in the football stadiums who sit mouth breathing though the pledged allure the flag and the republic for which it stands

Giving away our country. Getting the president we deserve thanks guys.

In both cases the migrants were almost entirely male, with all that implies./s

[Rockingham]

So, the shitty countries the migrants came from held them as slaves and then pursue them when they leave? And did the people of Israel sign up for welfare and free stuff as soon as they crossed into Judea? Just asking.

[left that other site]

When the Rio Grande parts, piles the water on both sides, and people cross through on dry land, maybe his foolish statement might have a wee bit of credibility.
