Pope Francis: Migrants Are Not ‘a Problem to Be Managed,’ ‘Ought to Be Welcomed’
Breitbart ^ | 01/09/2025 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

ROME — Pope Francis said Thursday migrants should be valued for their dreams and talents rather than treated as a “problem to me managed.”

“I find it greatly disheartening to see that migration is still shrouded in a dark cloud of mistrust, rather than being seen as a source of empowerment,” the pontiff declared in his yearly address to members of the diplomatic corps.

“People on the move are seen simply as a problem to be managed,” he lamented, urging that they not be “treated like objects to be moved about.”

Migrants “have dignity and resources that they can offer to others; they have their own experiences, needs, fears, aspirations, dreams, skills and talents,” he said.

A dementia patient as President and another one as Pope.

By definition the migrants in question have broken the laws of the land, laws which do not violate Gods laws and laws of governments God has put in place, of which, scripture clearly states to follow and respect when they do not contradict God’s laws.

Your Sir are contradicting God’s word and prompting others to rebel against God. That is the current legacy of the Catholic Church’s institution.

Thanks to the wisdom of God limiting our years, communist Antipope Bergolio will soon be in hell. He shall not be missed.

If I sat on a throne of gold, and people literally worshipped me and I didn’t have to deal with the daily problems we all deal with regarding the millions upon millions of illegals-yeah, I guess i’d be pretty oblivious myself.

Awhile back I did a rough calculation. Based on its size, Vatican City can easily take in 2500 immigrants. And there is room in the Vatican gardens for apartments to house them all.

What say you, Francis? Why the delay in practicing what you preach?

Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Seeing his beloved Socialism falling apart has him distraught- even though it proves that system is not of God.

Tear down that Vatican wall.

Hopefully ten million “migrants” will be welcomed by the Pope.

Let’s observe how the Vatican treats illegal aliens.

I’m sure they take in at least that many young immigrant boys.

1 Peter 2:13-14 Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.

Illegal Immigrants are doing evil, they are breaking laws, laws that are not in contradiction of God’s law, laws instilled by the authorities God has put in place.

What’s the clergy’s opinion on young boys?

As if we should listen to anything this pedophile enabler has to say.

Tell you what Frankie. You convert them all the Christianity, and we’ll think about taking them in.

What’s that? You made up a new rule against proselytizing? First time in 2000 years?

OK, I will change the deal a bit. YOU convert to Christianity, and then we might talk about migrants.
