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 bad enough that our president travels around the world on apology tours telling everyone how bad we are. Now we have a pope who will do the same thing.

He’s a pretty close contender for the False Prophet I’d say.

Well if any more Christians must have their throats slit by these wonderful Muslims, it’s only fair that the Pope go first.

I don’t think too many people are “indifferent” about the muzzie invasion anymore. In fact, most have very strong feelings...perhaps not those the pope may wish us to have, but very strong indeed.

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

The three characteristics you mention are not mutually exclusive.

Does the closed-mindedness also include his Christian religion? That’s what a Muslim is going to be thinking when the little pope talks like this.

To a Muslim the “change in mentality” is to become a Muslim. The Pope is unhinged. As a Catholic I am appalled by what he comes up with. He constantly has to back track what he says. He is throwing up crap on the wall and seeing what sticks. Trial balloons all over creation. Funny Jesus didn’t have to constantly have to say” Oh I really meant ...”

On behalf of myself, a lifetime Catholic, my response to Panchito is... FOAD

I think you misspelled “spawn” :D

(But I guess “pawn” works too)

So true, and it’s mind numbing.

He takes in muzzie refugees and ignores the Christian refugees? Fleeing from certain death?

I detest this liar - he is NOT my pope, the same as barry is NOT my POTUS.

What a strange time in the history of humanity.
