His analysis seems to be almost backwards, these migrants are not symbols of the rejection of a globalized world as he put it, but the pawns of a globalist ideology that wants to destroy the sovereignty of nation states and impose a global order. A Christian should be especially wary of anyone wanting to do that.
I don’t hate the migrants nor do I blame them for wanting to escape their countries, which the globalist conspiracy destroyed for no rational reason. But that is what the Pope should be saying. Yes, have compassion for them, try to assist their countries in various ways to gain stability so that people will not feel the need to flee. And in some cases, recognize that people are being used by cynical groups who offer them assistance up to a point, then disappear when they get across a border.
The Pope is speaking mostly about the European situation so I wouldn’t try to analyze his words as a direct comment on the southern border of the U.S., in fact in Europe the migrants are mostly fleeing Libya and Syria, two countries that previous governments of the U.S. and other NATO countries allowed to be destroyed for no obviously good reason. Europe deserves this crisis, they made it impossible for people to survive in the countries they wrecked for brief and ultimately pointless financial gains.
If the Church is about truth, then the Pope needs to reflect on the truth. Just hand wringing about the migrants and not pointing out why they exist is not helpful. Europe needs to abandon globalism. It is the enemy of both the church and the people of Europe. And I don’t think it serves the migrants to come there either, they won’t adapt to it, they won’t prosper, and they will just become part of a new social crisis when the inevitable religious war breaks out throughout those European countries committing suicide. At least Hungary and Poland have enough sense and they (Mr. Bergoglio) are Catholic countries.
