Hungarian bishop says pope is wrong about refugees
Washington Post ^ | 9/7/15 | Griff Witte

Pope Francis’s message Sunday couldn’t have been clearer: With hundreds of thousands of refugees flowing into Europe, Catholics across the continent had a moral duty to help by opening their churches, monasteries and homes as sanctuaries.

On Monday, the church’s spiritual leader for southern Hungary — scene of some of the heaviest migrant flows anywhere in Europe — had a message just as clear: His Holiness is wrong.

“They’re not refugees. This is an invasion,” said Bishop Laszlo Kiss-Rigo, whose dominion stretches across the southern reaches of this predominantly Catholic nation. “They come here with cries of ‘Allahu Akbar.’ They want to take over.”

The bishop’s stark language reflects a broader spiritual struggle in Europe over how to respond to a burgeoning flow of predominantly Muslim men, women and children onto a largely Christian continent.

The “pope” can feel free to promulgate wide-open borders because the Vatican will never face such an inundation like the Hungarians are.

How many muslim filth are his native Argentina taking in?

I am a Catholic too and I think this guy is a disaster as Pope. He is the exact wrong guy at the exact wrong time.

This Pope is to the Catholic Church as Obama is to the USA. It will take years to undo the damage he has done.

“This Pope sucks. He is very wrong on a variety of issues.”

Marxists always are.

They leave rubbish in their wake, he said, and refuse when offered food.

“Most of them behave in a way that is very arrogant and cynical,” said Kiss-Rigo, who has been bishop for nine years in an area that is home to some 800,000 Catholics.

This morning Pope Francis is busy announcing a rules change for Annulments, making it so that every divorced Catholic will now be able to once again take communion. He just did it about a half hour ago. This ought to go over like a lead balloon to traditional Catholics.

And now Hungary and its leaders will feel the full wrath of the liberal elite throughout the world for daring to protect their country and tell the truth.See South Africa.
See Israel.

I am not Catholic, so not an expert on Church politics. But from everything I read, it seems like the conservative Benedict was somehow pushed out to make way for Francis, the Marxist. In other words, the Church had a liberal coup.

Francis seems to be doing all he can to water down Church teach and move away from traditional morality into Economics (income inequality) and Science (Global Warming) in ways that boost the Leftist agenda. Now he is aiding the Muslim invasion of Europe. Francis is a danger to his own Church.

Sounds like one of obama’s executive orders.

Hungarian Bishop is racist. No, wait, Pope Francis is deluded. Oh, skip it...

I never realized that Mexico was invading the United States until I married a Mexican who tremendously increased my fluency in the language and THEN I really learned how Mexicans think and what their goals are. We are also being invaded with the ultimate goal of conquest of the United States by Mexico via its population living here.

Americans do not realize to what extent Mexicans hate us, our culture and our language. You have NO idea unless you read, speak and write the language and converse with the people. However, through the years beginning about 1991-2 when I began to realize how big the problem was and tried to warn Americans, I have had nothing but vicious opposition from liberals, AND, believe it or not, a lot of so-called conservatives. This is, to me, the finger of God telling me God has had it with this nation and has deluded its leaders and is preparing the U.S. for destruction. Anyone trying to speak out for drastic action to get it under control has been suppressed.

Trump has been addressing some of the issues, but he is by record a liberal and more than likely is only executing a strategy to do further damage to those who know what really needs to be done to fix things. Finger of God....

Preparing the way for the evil to come, perhaps? Not knowingly, but like all of us sinners frequently unaware of Satan's using us.
