Pope Francis to Migrants: ‘Forgive Our Closed-mindedness and Indifference’
Breitbart ^ | 20 Apr 2016 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Posted on 04/20/2016 4:38:47 AM PDT by detective

On behalf of modern society, Pope Francis begged the forgiveness of migrants and refugees Tuesday, asking them to forgive our “closed-mindedness and indifference” and insisting that each migrant has “the face of God.”

“Too often you have not been welcomed,” Francis said. “Forgive the closed-mindedness and indifference of our societies, which fear the change of lifestyle and mentality that your presence requires.”

The Pope addressed these words to migrants as part of a recorded video message in which he praised the work of the Jesuits who run the Centro Astalli, the Italian headquarters of the Jesuit Refugee Service. The message was released on April 19 in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the center.

It’s very sad, especially when some recent popes appeared to be quite true to the Bible. I think it also pays to remind ourselves that Satan knows scripture very, very well. The best example, I think, is the way Satan tempted Christ. How? By quoting scripture! The Anti-Christ will also likely appear to be a very godly, caring person, thereby deceiving many. Socialism/Communism is NOT Christian, and neither is Gaia worship!

The faux Pope has been totally silent about the destruction of ancient religious sites and Christian communities by ISIS. He's still not speaking out about the slaughter of Christians.

The world is just too weird to comprehend.

What happened to the 12 ‘refugees’ he gave a free ride to the Vatican? Are they being put up there, or were they given coffee a biscotti, a quick tour then escorted out into Rome by Swiss Guards?

Speak for yourself, old man. When your buddies start raping women and burning buildings, be sure to accept the blame.

I agree with you 100% on this one. Instead of being considered a misguided soul, in reality Pope Francis is evil.

Well, Pope, why then don’t you tear down your wall and take all the muzzie colonists you can cram into the Vatican?
Oh, and you could sell all the priceless treasures there and give them the money.

What a load of Bull$hit!

My mentality and lifestyle despises these people because they refuse to fight for their own God given patch of earth and think that I should capitulate my societal bedrock for their unadulterated moon god worshiping sharia culture.

NO.

I WILL NOT.

The man in the pointy hat can kiss my ass.

Well, the Church is supposed to be a hospital for sinners...
But it would help if this Pope actually called them to repent...

As an outsider he strikes me as a usurper, and perhaps a sock puppet for clerical putschists.

I agree. I’ve gone from “he’s just stupid” to “maybe he’s got dementia” to “he’s evil.”
