The Vatican’s approach to immigration and access is one of the strictest in Europe, reflecting its need to safeguard its small population and the sanctity of its grounds. Unauthorized immigration is not tolerated, and all access to the Vatican is carefully controlled.

Pope never urges other countries to improve their conditions so no one needs to immigrate.

Why doesn’t Leo put up about 600 of them in the Sistine Chapel?

Sure! Let’s get rid of the pews and throw down prayer rugs in the Catholic churches. Take down the Cross on top and put up loudspeakers for the call to prayer. Statues of Mary and Jesus? No, they have to go too, as there can be no images of the Mighty Mo. How about staying in your lane, padre?

Leo,should invite and encourage immigrants into Vatican City. Maybe take all the walls down too. Unchristian to have them up, keeping people out.

Dear pope,

We welcome immigrants. We always have.

What we DON'T welcome is invaders. And that is what people illegally entering America are.

Nice sentiment from a guy who lives behind a wall built to keep the Muslims out.

The Roman Caesars would have welcomed Leo’s assistance in demographic and political matters….like a Christian version of Herod

I’m offended that such a man would have the audacity to tell the US to do what he and his minions in the Vatican would never do.

I used to think someone who rose to the title of pope was beyond reproach. Now I think they’re just another corrupt figure head.

When does this Pope focus on the Bible? He has a Worldly perspective. Where is his Divine Perspective?

Vatican is famous for its big strong walls.

The original Vatican wall (known as the Leonine Wall) was built between 848 and 852 AD. Ordered by Pope Leo IV, it was constructed to protect St. Peter’s Basilica and the surrounding area from Saracen (Moslem) pirate raids....

Prevost, son of Bergoglio, an absolute disaster for Catholics and the Catholic Church.

I guess he doesn’t understand the difference between legal and ILLEGAL immigrants!

Since when does the Pope encourage breaking the law?

Hey jackass, we do allow immigrants in the US. There is a process for coming to America legally. I know, because both my parents were immigrants who came to the US legally. It’s illegal aliens that we have an issue with.
