Pope Francis to Jesuits: ‘I Am Shocked’ by Anti-Immigration Narratives in Europe

The Holy Father said that migration issues are compounded by a “defensive mindset” that creates a state of fear and makes people believe that “you can only defend yourself by strengthening borders.”

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis decried the mistreatment of migrants and said that he is shocked by anti-immigration narratives within Europe during a conversation with Jesuits in Thailand published Thursday.

“I must admit that I am shocked by some of the narratives I hear in Europe about borders. Populism is gaining strength,” Pope Francis said in Thailand according to the Jesuit-run journal La Civilita Cattolica transcript published online Dec. 5.

If they want what we have, they need to do what we do.

I’m not shocked.
Who wants their country overrun with Mohammedans intent on doing what Mad Mo prescribes in their “holy” books?

Pope Franky needs to have a little encounter with a peace-loving ISIS guy. Might be enlightening.

How many Muzzies is the Vatican taking in?

And why should The Vatican have borders, anyway? They should be absorbed into Italy, I mean, borders are bad, right?

Any denomination Christian, and indeed anyone with a stake in the future existence of civilization itself, should be shocked that Europe is not purging itself of Islam.

I did a little calculation awhile back. Based on its size, Vatican City can take in at least 2000 immigrants. And there is plenty of room in the Vatican gardens for a high-rise to house them.

So the question then becomes: Why hasn’t Francis taken in 2000 immigrants? Could it possibly be that he does not practice what he preaches?

This guy is such a phony. Jesuits are supposed to take a vow to not pursue higher clerical offices, but can accept them if offered. We’re supposed to believe this guy didn’t work the politics to get the papacy? Bull-stuff! As soon as you see Jesuit pope, you know his vows and his honor mean nothing.

Well, there’s certainly one South American that a European country should deport.

Dear Pope,

Visit Saudi Arabia.

Take your Bible.

It will be fun.

Dear Pope,

Open the gates to the Vatican, send the Swiss Guard back to Geneva and wait for the bearded, unwashed, camel-humping, throat-slitting ISIS guests to arrive in your compound.
