The pope wants to bow before migrants’ dignity
American Thinker ^ | 06/16/2026 | Eric Utter

Though Muslim on “infidel” attacks are legion, Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, is continuing his Migrant Mania tour of Europe.

The pope, who couldn’t be troubled to celebrate July 4 in America, even on its 250th birthday observance, has instead opted to travel to Spain and other nations to be a cheerleader for globalism and mass migration.

It appears that Leo never met a leftist government or third world migrant he did not adore.

In fact, he recently told the many migrants who have lately overwhelmed Spain’s Canary Islands, “I want to bow before your dignity.” He added, “Human dignity has no passport.”

Perhaps that’s why so many “migrants” have exhibited no human dignity. I’m surprised he didn’t add, “Save the whales,” and “You can’t hug your kids with nuclear arms!”

The pontiff would have made a great 1960s folk singer. He might’ve been better qualified for that role.

Leo didn’t say if he would bow down to migrants’ dignity before, after — or during — a migrant stabbing or gang-rape. But his remarks came after thousands of them. That he also wishes to bow down to migrants’ dignity after they have bilked taxpayers out of billions upon billions of dollars by setting up “Learing Centers” and various other fake companies is beyond the pale, as well.

If Pope Leo XIV is dead-set on bowing down before someone else’s dignity, perhaps he could consider doing so before one or more of the hundreds of millions of hard-working, taxpaying, devout, unfavored and abused Westerners who are seeing their countries crumble and disappear before their very eyes. Instead of kowtowing and courting Muslim invaders, perhaps he could even see his way clear to bow down before the dignity of Jesus Christ.

I have mentioned this before.

Awhile back I did a rough calculation. Based on its size, Vatican City can easily take in 2500 immigrants. And of course the Church has the money to feed, clothe, and house them all.

How many immigrants has the Vatican actually taken in?
I’m guessing that the number is around zero.

Fun fact: Back in 2025 the Vatican actually increased its penalties for illegal entry into the city.

Somebody should mention all of this to the pope. He’s evidently unaware of it.
🤔

I’d still strongly disagree, but I’d have at least some respect if he said a single word to migrants as to duties to the countries that are taking them in

This American pope, who spent most of his time in the Western Hemisphere, didn’t seem to know much or deal much with muslims. He’s about to find out, in spades. Tough lesson. Perhaps if he read more of the Eastern Hemisphere’s history, especially regarding the last 1,400 years in Europe and the Middle East, he’d get an inkling...nah.

The current pope is the same as the last one, a poop.

“Human dignity has no passport.”

But human beings traveling to foreign countries do. I can make the distinction, why can’t he?

RE: Pope bowing before the migrants...

Rush Limbaugh used to say a lot of RINOs and other types were ready to compromise and were “bending backward or bending forward” to appease the enemy.

Excellent points. I have quoted the increased penalties for being caught trying to enter and the fact that the Wall is 40 feet thick in one section. Pretty discouraging to the huddled masses trying to cut into it to beg for a new life inside.


One summary:

While best known for their colorful, Renaissance-era uniforms and traditional polearms (like halberds), the Vatican’s Swiss Guard is a highly trained, elite military unit and carries a variety of weapons.
Source: Wikipedia.

Their arsenal includes modern, state-of-the-art firearms, such as:
Handguns: Glock 19 and Glock 26 automatic pistols.
Submachine Guns: Heckler & Koch MP7s and B&T APC9s.
Assault Rifles: SIG SG 550s (Stgw 90) and B&T APC 556s.
Guards on plainclothes protection detail and security sweeps carry concealed firearms, while ceremonial guards keep their traditional weapons at the ready and receive thorough tactical training in modern combat, counterterrorism, and close-quarters defense.

“Though Muslim on “infidel” attacks are legion, Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, is continuing his Migrant Mania tour of Europe.” Does that mean he wants more tithing to the Catholic Church to give it to muslims?

I’m sorry, but if ‘migrants; were costing the Vatican money they wouldn’t be advocating for them. I’m incredibly disappointed by the Catholic Church.
