In a rare TV interview, Pope Francis lambasted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's attempt to shut down an El Paso-based Catholic charity that assists migrants, even calling the state's legal action "madness."
Francis' comments came during Sunday's episode of CBS's 60 Minutes. During that interview, taped in April interview at the Vatican, journalist Norah O'Donnell asked the pontiff what his thoughts were on Texas' bid to shut down Annunciation House, the El Paso-based nonprofit.
"That is madness. Sheer madness. To close the border and leave them there, that is madness," Francis said. "The migrant has to be received. Thereafter you see how you are going to deal with him. Maybe you have to send him back, I don't know, but each case ought to be considered humanely, right?"

“ Catholic Charities”
Let them give any proof at all that they represent the Catholic Faith.
“The migrant must be received”
Yeah sure, pal. Tear down the wall around the Vatican. 40 foot thick or whatever.
It’s obvious that Reagan and John Paul II pissed off all the right people. The Faithful and decent, peaceable Christians and Jews have a target on their back, though it hardly needs to be pointed out. Obviously subversives wormed this guy in there. Somehow.
He rarely talks about salvation of souls or “go and sin no more”, just bullshit about fine tuning the weather a hundred years from now, and catering to sex deviants and apologetics to buggery.
Has he weighed in on the grooming of children in public schools? The sexualization of little kids? Transvestites? I wish these guys would stay in their lane.
This Pope is nothing more than a Leftist activist. As far as I am concerned, he has lost any credibility as a spiritual leader.
FTPOPE!
I swear that this Pope is a WEF/DAVOS/CIA agent.
I've verbally blasted the pope more than a few times and haven't been
struck by lightning yet.
We hate to lose Paxton, but he needs to go where he can make the most difference
What an excellent compassionate humane Catholic idea!!
“Maybe the Pope should open the Vatican and other Catholic seminaries and facilities across the world to immigrants? Maybe catholic churches in American could house them?”
Yep.
The charity is the operation of a foreign government opposed to America
Yes sir!! The joke pope!
The only role they should play is making sure the alien border crossers are given basic humanitarian aid then safely sent back to Mexico.
Render unto Texas that which belongs to the Texans, i.e., sovereignty.
If you did not already know that Ken Paxton is a great attorney general, this proves it.
Catholic Charities are no better than coyotes who are guilty of human trafficking.
I’m so glad you said that because it’s the truth!
It’s not a charity; it’s a foreign subversive organization focused on destroying this country.
As for their claim they rely completely on donations and that they’ve never accepted government funding, I’ll bet dollars to donuts they’ve signed onto NGO contracts to handle ‘migrants’ in one way or another.
I agree!
Time to tax the church as it’s nothing but a political organization now.
Wake me up when he blasts China for mistreating Catholics and other religious groups.
😆
Better yet the Vatican should make sure Catholic institutions in Mexico are able provide enough assistance so that leaving for the U.S. becomes less attractive.
