Pope’s Point-Man on Migrants Worries About Spread of ‘Dangerous’ Falsehoods

ROME - On any given day, Pope Francis’s point-man for migrants has a stacked inbox on his desk: From coordinating the launch of a papal document on the Amazon region to urging bishops’ conferences across Europe to help asylum seekers.

Yet Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny, Under-Secretary of the Migrant sand Refugees Section of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development - an office that answers directly to the pope - has something else keeping him up at night: “The challenge of seeking to engage with truth in spite of the falsehoods that spread so rapidly in modern social media.”

“A few of the falsehoods can be dangerous exaggerations of something good, but I think more of them arise from ill will,” the Canadian cardinal told Crux. “I don’t think it’s really possible to ignore this very new dimension of daily life and pretend that we can stick exclusively to the older forms of communication. Instead we need to develop new skills to navigate cyberspace and be effective while retaining equilibrium and serenity.”

Before heading to this week’s spiritual retreat for members of the Roman Curia in the Italian town of Ariccia, Czerny spoke to Crux in a written exchange.

What follows are excerpts of that conversation.

Must read link: German “humanitarian” learns truths about Muslims.......to her infinite regret.

She enumerates all the negatives we’ve observed for years.

Too bad she got woked the hard way....thru horrendous personal experiences.

BTW, she mentions Somali refugees as the worst of the worst.

So let me get this straight - the Vatican has an office that coordinates the invasion of anti-Christian cretins into the West. How far the Church has fallen. They need to be sanctioned for that betrayal.

maybe the pope should be more worried about “migrants” spreading dangerous coronovirus instead ...
