As Pope Francis officially opened this year's Christmas Nativity scene in St. Peter's Square, he said Jesus was a "migrant" who reminds us of the plight of today's refugees.

Sorry, he was never a migrant. He was a political refugee as a child but his family returned to their original home in Nazareth as soon as it was safe. Not only did he not receive welfare from the Egyptians, or try to impose his culture on them, he also did not migrate there. Just not a migrant. The pope thinks we can’t read.

Did the POPE get his talking points from the DNC?

Jesus was a refugee running for his life because of Herod’s edict. He was not breaking the laws of Egypt either. Sinless.

Ok there Peter the Roman, whatever you say... God, what a tool this “Pope” has shown himself to be. Just like obama with the USA he won’t rest until he has destroyed the Roman Catholic Church.

I guess the end times are nigh - when the Church falls and the “World Church” replaces all the religions, the slope towards the return of Jesus will steepen...

Funny . I thought it was a trip for tax paying???.

God told Joseph to take his family to Egypt, Jesus’ life was in danger.

But He was not a “migrant”, that’s a liberal fabrication.

It really disgusts me when the pope lies and equates evil socialism and communism and cultural suicide to something Jesus would do—or did. It is a complete lie.

He is of the devil. Hey, pope......you are supposed to promote the Truth always—it is the essential demands of the Catholic canon and being “pope”.

“Are there Christians out there who really buy this ‘refugee’ story?”

Only the biblically illiterate ones and those who are willfully ignorant.

He lies like Obama. Twists the story.

Reminds me of islamic terrorist Yasser Arafat who said Jesus was a Palestinian freedom fighter against Israel.

No, his parents were travelers who went to Bethlehem because the government ordered them too, regardless of the fact that his mother was extremely pregnant. They had no intention of staying there, nor were they from some foreign country, nor were they “refugees.”

For heaven’s sake, read a Bible now and then.

Francis, as soon as you start hosting refugees inside the Vatican walls, we can talk. Until then, you are just a hypocrite.

When is this clown going to allow unfettered migration of Muslims into the Vatican?

I guess he’s waiting until they take over Rome and then storm the gates.

If the Catholic Church keeps appointing Popes like this, then the Gates of Hell will prevail.

Nope.

Read THE REPORT OF PONTIUS PILATE, GOVERNOR OF JUDEA, WHICH WAS SENT TO TIBERIUS CAESAR IN ROME, translated into English from the ancient Roman.

http://www.orthodox.cn/patristics/apostolicfathers/herpilat.htm

Jesus Christ was more like the leader of the modern day Rolling Thunder motorcycle group.

He was not an immigrant.
