ROME — In preparation for World Refugee Day, Pope Francis declared Wednesday that all of us are “required” to welcome anyone who knocks on our door.

World Refugee Day, an annual United Nations commemoration celebrated on June 20, should be “an occasion to turn an attentive and fraternal gaze to all those who are compelled to flee their homes in search of peace and security,” the pontiff told the crowd gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his weekly general audience.

“We are all required to welcome, promote, accompany, and integrate those who knock on our doors,” the pope contended.

What about the ones that just barge in, sit on your sofa, demand you make them dinner, murder your daughters and demand you provide for them?

“knocking” is asking politely and applying for a visa, not invading.

The Bishop of Rome needs to brush up on the history of Rome. Giving barbarians free entry never works out well for the current inhabitants.

“Open your doors. We’re sending you millions tomorrow!”

Now Texas and Florida know who wants to welcome a plane load.

If the Pope got just one plane load he would be screaming bloody murder.

Like caller ID. That’s what peepholes are for, to keep unwanted, unknowns away from you. Like the pope.

Yep, let’s discuss the refugee and immigration policies of the Vatican. Isn’t the Vatican technically a separate country from Italy? If so the pope is in a unique position to issue the appropriate orders for the Vatican to become a haven for all the tired poor huddled masses.

My first thought went to British soldiers knocking on doors and Nazi soldiers knocking on doors.

what does that say about me?

Then any migrant to be deported from Italy can knock at the door of Francis and he will let them in

How many are they taking in?
