ROME — In preparation for World Refugee Day, Pope Francis declared Wednesday that all of us are “required” to welcome anyone who knocks on our door.

World Refugee Day, an annual United Nations commemoration celebrated on June 20, should be “an occasion to turn an attentive and fraternal gaze to all those who are compelled to flee their homes in search of peace and security,” the pontiff told the crowd gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his weekly general audience.

“We are all required to welcome, promote, accompany, and integrate those who knock on our doors,” the pope contended.

He needs to head back to south America and continue his 4 Reich pursuits.

Climb over our walls, kill our citizens, rape our children, burn down our buildings.....

If that sounds more like an invading army... that is because it is.

"What about the ones that just barge in, sit on your sofa, demand you make them dinner, murder your daughters and demand you provide for them?"

Those who enter the sheepfold through the gate are welcomed. Those who sneak in over the back wall are thieves and treated as such.

If the "we" here means nations "governed" by the Vatican (Vatican City) or the Catholic church - fine!

Otherwise, to steal a court term, 'Pope Francis, except for Vatican City, you and your church have no standing to dictate immigration laws and policy to any nation!'

If the Church of Rome took in one migrant for every heretic tortured by the Dominicans and witch burned by the Jesuits the problem would nearly be solved. /s

The pope IS a snake. Catholics need to rid themselves of this FAKE pope.
A lot of priests and bishops KNOW he’s a snake.

Popes come and go. Alot of the Bishops exhibit reptilian tendencies.

They don’t knock, that’s the problem. It’s not too much to ask them to sign the guest book on their way in.

Yes, and they are not to be fooled with.
